Hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and post-inflammatory marks are some of the most persistent skin concerns—especially for melanin-rich and mature skin. Glabridin, a powerful active found in licorice root, offers a targeted way to address the appearance of discoloration while also calming the skin.
Unlike harsh lighteners, glabridin works by gently supporting a more balanced-looking complexion over time, making it an ideal option for those who want radiance and clarity without compromising their skin barrier.
That’s why glabridin-rich licorice extract is a key brightening ingredient in our Brightening Super Serum, formulated to help soften the look of dark spots, even tone, and restore a luminous appearance.
What Is Glabridin?
Glabridin is a bioactive compound derived from the root of the licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza glabra). It is known for its ability to:
- Help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation
- Support a more even-looking complexion
- Provide antioxidant protection
- Calm visible redness and irritation
This combination of brightening and soothing benefits makes glabridin especially valuable for skin dealing with dark spots, uneven tone, or sensitivity.
How Glabridin Helps Improve the Look of Skin Tone
1. Targets the Look of Dark Spots
Glabridin helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and areas of discoloration that may result from sun exposure, breakouts, or hormonal changes.
2. Supports a More Even, Radiant Look
By encouraging a more uniform-looking tone, glabridin helps the complexion appear brighter, clearer, and more refined over time.
3. Calms and Comforts the Skin
Licorice root is also known for its soothing properties, helping to calm visible redness and support skin that is easily irritated or reactive.

- Visibly soften the look of dark spots
- Support a brighter, more even-looking complexion
- Calm and comfort the skin
- Hydrate while gently targeting discoloration
The result is a brightening serum that respects the skin barrier while helping to restore clarity and radiance.
Apply a few drops to clean skin once or twice daily, followed with moisturizer and SPF in the daytime, to help reveal a more luminous, even-toned appearance over time.
