There are several applications for licorice extract; it has been used for flavoring foods and drinks as well as reducing symptoms related to mouth ulcers and coughing. In addition, it is an adaptogen which makes it useful in supporting the body during situations where the immune system may be compromised. Due to a compound within the extract called glabridin, it also inhibits the production of melanin. As a result, it is often applied as a skin lightening agent. Today, I’ll explain how licorice extract can be used topically as a skin lightener and why it’s effective as an active ingredient.

How Licorice Lightens Skin
The reason why licorice extract, as an active ingredient, is effective for lightening the skin is due to the compound glabridin. It suppresses pigmentation by stalling melanin production. Often, the skin can become discolored due to conditions such as melasma and chloasma. Plus, long-term exposure to the sun can result in age spots and hyperpigmentation. When their effects are visible - especially in the areas around the face and eyes - topical formulations that include licorice extract can help reduce the variances in skin tone.
