What the gurus are saying

The 5% concentration in the yellow pump stands out as the optimal strength experts recommend for tranexamic acid, praised for smooth texture and minimal irritation even layered with other potent actives. Start with once daily for the first month to let your skin adjust, then build to twice daily when tolerance allows; that's where next-level results kick in.

"The Naturium Tranexamic Acid 5% is honestly the best out there. It's super smooth on the skin and because of the quality formulation you won't get too much prickling or irritation, which I think is really important if you're going to pair it alongside another potent active. You're going to want to look for something in a 5% concentration to really get maximum results, and this is the one in the yellow pump that you want because this is the right 5% strength to give you the very best results. I personally use it morning and evening because for me I think that gives the very best results. If you're new to tranexamic acid, I would start gently and gradually work your way up. Use it just once a day for the first month to allow your skin to become accustomed to the active, and then when your skin can tolerate it, you can move to twice daily which is where you're going to see those next level results."

"I have two recommendations for you: number one, the 5% tranexamic acid by Naturium. Twice a week your routine is going to look something like this: double cleanse, tranexamic acid, kojic acid cream, and then a moisturizer on top because these products can be severely drying. The combination of tranexamic acid and kojic acid is fabulous, but this combo is a bit drying, so you'll use it twice a week."
