Due to the presence of flavonoids, it exerts a strong antioxidant effect. It reduces the damage caused by free radicals on the skin by blocking them. Tannins or procyanidins present in the extract provide an astringent impact on a product, that way it helps with mild exfoliating effect. It has arbutin as one of its constituents that inhibits tyrosinase- melanin producing enzyme. Ursolic acid is anti-inflammatory in nature, so, may be helpful in topical application for red, itchy skin.

Apart from that, licorice contains another potent natural anti-inflammatory agent – licochalcone. The presence of these bio-actives, makes licorice root extract especially beneficial for those who struggle with psoriasis, rosacea and dermatitis.

Thanks to the high levels of glabridin licorice is an excellent natural skin brightener. Being a phytoestrogen, glabridin serves to prevent hyper pigmentation and dark spots caused by UV radiation.

They gradually brighten the complexion, to reveal more glowing, clear skin, free of imperfections.
In addition to eliminating pigmentation caused by excessive sun exposure, licorice root extract diminishes scars and dark spots (those annoying dark marks that we get, when blemishes heal).
