Licorice root: Underestimated active ingredient, not only for hyperpigmentation

You will probably know licorice root from licorice or teas that are sweetened with licorice root. In skin care, licorice root extract ( Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract ) has many benefits for skin health. It inhibits inflammation and soothes atopic dermatitis, rosacea/cuperose or eczema. Due to the naturally contained glabridin, licorice root has a skin-lightening effect on hyperpigmentation caused by UV rays. Liquorice root is also a well-tolerated antioxidant.
