Contact Supplier1. Works As An Anti-Inflammatory Agent
Studies [10] conducted on 60 adults who had eczema over two weeks revealed that when a topical gel containing licorice root extract was applied, their condition improved to quite an extent.
Â
Glycyrrhizin has anti-inflammatory properties [11], which can reduce irritation, itching, and redness on the skin when used topically in formulations. It is extensively used to treat psoriasis [12], rosacea [13], and atopic dermatitis.

2. Reduces Hyperpigmentation
When your skin cells produce excessive melanin only in certain areas and normal amounts in others, it gives the skin a patchy appearance known as hyperpigmentation.
Â
When the skin is exposed to free radicals in the body, the cells that generate melanin get damaged and produce more melanin than usual.
Â
Licorice root extract fights the free radicals by inhibiting their production and preventing excess melanin from being produced.
Â
Most formulations that work to remove dark spots or treat hyperpigmentation, therefore, contain licorice root extract. It effectively helps remove dark spots [14] and lightens them to give you an even skin tone.

3. Glycyrrhizin And Anti-Ageing
Licorice root extract contains glycyrrhizin, which is a very potent antioxidant. When used topically, the antioxidants protect your skin against damage from the sun's UV rays and free radicals. This, in turn, prevents premature aging.
