Does chlorophyll water clear your skin? What the research says

TikTok claims chlorophyll water clears acne, kills body odor, and detoxes your body. The evidence doesn't back it up: almost no human trials show drinking chlorophyll treats acne or odor, and your liver and kidneys already detox your body — green water doesn't. It can also cause stomach upset, green urine, and sun sensitivity. "Detox" is marketing.
