Licorice root

Licorice root visibly calms redness, swelling, and itching, fades dark spots safely, fights daily skin stress, heals wounds cleanly, clears acne blemishes, and keeps flare-ups away. It suits dry skin and oily skin best, and it comes in serums, creams, exfoliators, and toners. It fits into a routine because it layers easily.
