TL;DR:
- What it is: A brightening serum in a rollerball
- What it does: Helps fade dark spots that breakouts can leave behind
- Who it’s for: Anyone looking to treat hyperpigmentation from pimples
Tranexamic acid is showing up in more and more brightening products for good reason: It helps even out skin tone and is a great fit for all skin types and complexions. This serum combines the trendy brightener with two veterans: vitamin C and licorice root. Run Hero Cosmetics Lightning Wand’s rollerball over areas of hyperpigmentation, like sun spots or the dark marks that tend to creep up after blemishes heal. (Don’t use it on an active breakout. This is for treating the hyperpigmentation that pimples leave behind.) The rollerball applicator is super convenient and easy to use.
You’ll find the Hero Cosmetics Lightning Wand in the December 2021 Allure Beauty Box.

Highlights
- Lightning Wand is a triple threat that tackles dark spots in 3 ways:
- Exfoliates with Glycolic Acid to clear away dead skin and help the serum work faster.
- Brightens with a supercharged trifecta of Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, and Vitamin C. When these 3 ingredients combine, they get even stronger, delivering a hyper-potent brightening strike unlike any other. Color-corrects with a sheer peachy-yellow tint to keep spots under wraps while the serum works its magic.
- Designed in a super-portable wand with a stainless steel rollerball, it's the perfect way to spot treat whenever, wherever. Use it 2x daily for noticeably bright, even-looking skin.

Description
Lightning Wand is a twice-daily brightening and illuminating serum that visibly fades the look of post-acne marks. The rollerball zaps dark spots with a trio of advanced brighteners, glycolic acid, and sheer color-correcting tint — so you can bounce back after a breakout.
Lightning Wand is perfect for brightening post-acne marks and scars. (Got sun spots? It handles those, too.)
Lightning Wand's texture is designed to seal ultra-powerful brighteners into your skin. The serum has a slightly stick, which dries as the ingredients get locked in.
You can layer it under makeup or go totally makeup-free — either way, the translucent yellow tint will stay totally invisible on all skin tones (and help hide dark spots).
