This generously sized, intensely hydrating lotion eliminates dry skin and flakiness completely while soothing acne-prone skin with licochalcone, an ultra-calming licorice root extract. It has a super-light feel, goes on clear, and absorbs quickly. And, of course, it will not clog pores. Use it liberally without fear. Fragrance-free and dye-freeLicochalcone is a highly distilled and potent extract of a species of licorice root well known for powerfully calming and soothing the skin. It is especially beneficial on acne-prone skin which tends to be sensitive and irritated. Licochalcone is incredibly expensive at $7000-$8000 per kilogram and needs to be used at .1% strength to be effective. This moisturizer contains the full .1% and is not included simply for "label claim." If you suspect you may be allergic to licorice root, patch test your skin by applying some Moisturizer to your inner elbow for 2 days before applying to the face.
