Who reaches for Licorice

01

The post-acne mark fader

You want those leftover dark spots gone but vitamin C makes you red. Licorice brightens while calming at the same time.

The sensitive even-tone seeker

Uneven skin tone bothers you but every brightener you've tried irritates. Licorice is the gentlest option that still actually works.

03

The dual-action user

You don't want to choose between brightening and soothing. Licorice does both, so you can keep your routine simple.
