Can using the wrong toothpaste cause acne?

Definitely yes. Most toothpaste contains fluoride—a compound from the same family as chlorine and iodine that are known to trigger acne for some people. The most common areas for these kinds of breakouts are around the mouth. Good news? The solution is simple; switch to fluoride-free toothpaste and see if that helps reduce breakouts in this area.
