First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a natural compound from licorice root, called glycyrrhetinic acid, can help calm irritated skin and repair the skin barrier. Researchers will apply a mild irritant to the skin of 30 healthy adults, then treat the area with a cream containing the compound. They will measure changes in skin moisture, redness, and elasticity to see if the treatment works.
