Glabridin is a natural compound found in licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) root extract which has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. Glabridin is known for its skin-brightening properties as it inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. By reducing melanin production, Glabridin may help in preventing and lightening dark spots and hyperpigmentation. As an antioxidant, Glabridin helps protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals contributing to the prevention of premature aging and damage to the skin cells.
