What is Liquorice Root in Skincare?

The root of the liquorice plant has been used for medicinal purposes and confectionary for years, but it's also the source of a skincare game-changer.

Liquorice root extract is used in skincare as a skin brightener.

When applied topically, liquorice can do everything from being an antioxidant or anti-inflammatory to helping fade dark spots.

Its action on pigmentation disorders is due to the inhibition of the production of an enzyme [tyrosinase] essential to the production of melanin.
