Look for the yellow pump: that's the 5% strength the gurus keep pointing to, and it teams tranexamic acid with kojic acid, niacinamide and licorice root, so you get a full pigment-fighting lineup in one bottle. It's water-light, almost essence-like, and reviewers found it gentle, easy to layer, and fine morning or night, with no peeling or irritation.
