Frequently asked questions
Can I use Licorice Extract and Sunscreen together?
Yes, and they work even better together. Licorice Extract works best, and stays safe, only if your skin is protected from UV. Without daily sunscreen, sun damage undoes its results.
Which goes first, Licorice Extract or Sunscreen?
Apply Licorice Extract first, then Sunscreen. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Licorice Extract in the morning or at night?
Licorice Extract: works morning or night. Use once or twice daily. It pairs well with niacinamide, arbutin or vitamin C for dark spots.
Should I use Sunscreen in the morning or at night?
Sunscreen: best in the morning. Use two finger-lengths for face and neck as the last morning step, every day, including indoors near windows. Reapply every 2–3 hours outdoors.
