Brightening Serum Rollerballs

Hero Cosmetics' Lightning Wand Fades Post-Acne Marks

Hero Cosmetics' Lightning Wand is a brightening serum that's packaged in a convenient rollerball applicator that targets post-acne marks with precision. The brightening and illuminating serum is meant to be used twice daily so that it can share the benefits of "a trio of advanced brighteners, glycolic acid and sheer color-correcting tint."

The take-anywhere spot treatment contains powerhouse ingredients like Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, and Vitamin C, which form the brand's Lightning Trifecta, plus exfoliating AHA, BHA and antioxidant-rich gardenia extract. The exfoliating, clearing and brightening product helps to rapidly fade dark spots that form after a blemish has been patched or popped.

For even faster results, the brand recommends pairing the Lightning Wand with Micropoint for Dark Spots. Together, this set of products is an intense spot-brightening duo that Hero Cosmetics calls "unstoppable."
