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.
It also contains liquiritin, a compound that can help with the dispersion and removal of excess melanin in the skin. In other words, not only can it help prevent the formation of new spots, it assists in the fading of existing ones as well.
As we all know, when it comes to fading spots, hydroquinone is the gold standard ingredient however there are numerous drawbacks to the use of this product including but not limited to general irritation.
