Findings
This review found that licorice extract shows promise for treating hyperpigmentation and dark spots, though the evidence is mixed. While lab studies support its potential, there are only a few small clinical trials proving it actually works on real skin—so it's not as well-proven as some other options like soy or niacinamide.
