10 Licorice Extract Infused Skincare Products That Will Solve All Your Beauty Woes
From Peter Thomas Roth’s Acne Clearing Gel to Eucerin’s Redness Relief Night Cream, here Bazaar shares ten solutions to all your skincare needs
Licorice root extract is the beauty ingredient we all need to add to our daily regime to enhance our skin’s appearance. It’s derived from the Glycyrrhiza plant species, and has been used within traditional Chinese medicine for years. Today, many beauty brands are using licorice root extract within their formulas due to its standout ability to reduce inflammation and brighten the skin.
