Expert Verdict
Contains licochalcone A as the predominant bioactive (rather than glycyrrhizin dominant in G. glabra); generally well-tolerated topically; limited long-term safety data compared to G. glabra. The key differentiator from G. glabra is high licochalcone A content, which inhibits 5-alpha-reductase (reducing sebum production), provides bacteriostatic activity, and exhibits superoxide dismutase-like antioxidant action; particularly effective for oily and acne-prone skin
