Does black licorice extract/soap/etc. help lighten skin?

Question

Over the years my skin has become tanner and tanner. I'm around a medium beige I suppose. I have dark hair and happen to like the way my light skin's contrast to it. Parts of my body have stayed very close to white so it's also a bit awkward looking if I'm in the buff.

I've already tried using spf 50 every day for a few month and exfoliation. The lightening of my skin was very subtle.

Answer 1

yup, black licorice soap works.

Answer 2

Answer 3

To tell you the truth that black licorice soap that they are claiming its not licorice it contained its hydroquinone..The licorice soap is in pink color and not in black..I have contacted the Diana Stalder Lab and they said they do not sell black licorice soap and its pink licorice soap... Please you can check it here.. The generic black soap is contained hydroquinone and the real black whitening soap is contained arbutin...If they are not in proper packaging then thats a generic and if you are looking for the authentic diana stalder , you can see what it looks like here..Do not believe that there is such a black licorice soap that they were claiming..
