Is licorice an effective ingredient to lighten the skin? Is hydroquinone safe for the skin? There's this cream that contains licorice and mulberry, is that effective for skin lightening?

never use hydroquinone if u can help it

except if ur dermatologist recommends it . dont use it even if its for a while it messes up the skin after use for a long time

ild rather licorice any day speaking from experience
the cream might take a longer time to work on ur skin than a cream with hydroquinone but be patient itll work eventually besides run from things that work too fast
