Chlorine- Acne Question?

I have acne on my forehead, and I put a prescription medicine one it from my doctor. I drink a lot of water, but I swim four days a week. Will the chlorine in the pool affect my acne in any way?

    Depending on your skin and body system, it could go either way.

    The chlorine could kill the bacteria and clear up your acne (this is what it did for me)

    or the chlorine could dry out your skin and cause more acne.

    While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...

    Get Rid Of Acne Permanently?

    I don't think anything will get rid of acne except changing your eating habits, and drinking good pure water. I think you have to grow out of it, but you can control it pretty good with good eating habits
