Glycyrrhetinic acid
Glycyrrhetinic acid visibly eases redness within twenty-four hours and lessens discomfort in thirty minutes after skin treatments. This gentle ingredient suits dry skin and oily skin best, and is most often found in serums. It fits easily into a routine because it layers smoothly.
