    While licorice is famously used in candy and traditional remedies, the root of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant is an often-overlooked skincare powerhouse. In-the-know beauty enthusiasts use licorice to produce an even glow, as its active compounds can regulate melanin production, fade existing uneven skin tone, and calm redness and inflammation.

    Clear, Protected Pores

    Licorice root skincare formulas also contain a compound called licochalcone A, which has been shown to be a powerful anti-aging ingredient that can regulate oil production, naturally keeping pores clear and skin soft and smooth. Furthermore, the potent antioxidants in licorice can neutralize free radicals that cause visible signs of aging skin.

FAQs

Does licorice root fade dark spots?

Yes, licorice root can fade dark spots. It contains glabridin and liquiritin, which are compounds that can inhibit melanin production and disperse the pigment, naturally leading to a more even skin tone.

How long does it take for licorice root to lighten skin?

While everyone’s skin is unique, results are typically noticeable within 2 to 8 weeks.

What is another name for licorice root in skincare?

Some ingredient lists may refer to licorice root as Glycyrrhiza glabra, or they may list specific active compounds derived from licorice root, such as glycyrrhizin, glabridin, and licochalcone A.

Does licorice root clog pores?

No, licorice root is classified as non-comedogenic, which means it doesn’t clog pores. Licorice root can reduce the production and buildup of sebum, which is the oil that clogs pores. It’s no wonder so many skincare and beauty enthusiasts specifically use licorice root for face blemishes!

Can I use licorice root on my face every day?

In general, licorice root is well-tolerated and can be used daily. However, some licorice root skincareproducts may contain other ingredients that are not suitable for daily use. Check the product’s ingredients and instructions, just to be sure.

What not to mix with licorice root?

Licorice root is a soothing, anti-inflammatory that can be used alongside most skincare ingredients. If you have extremely reactive, sensitive skin, you may want to be cautious when pairing it with other melanin inhibitors and exfoliators, such as retinol, hydroquinone, and exfoliating acids like AHAs/BHAs.

How does licorice root calm inflammation?

Licorice contains multiple active compounds that have been scientifically proven to demonstrate anti-inflammatory activities. For example, the glycyrrhizin and licochalcone A found in licorice root skincare formulas can suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines and enzymes.
