About this item
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).

My skin is super prone to red acne scars and usually take months to heal. This product has really helped fade the marks over a much shorter period. Despite the Vitamin c, this product works well with my sensitive skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I go into using every new skincare product as a slight ‘hater’ thinking there’s no way it will live up to all its claims online. I was wrong about this product. It works and it works crazy fast! I genuinely get so excited to use this product morning and night. I’ve only ever used one vitamin C product prior (which I liked) but this one works better and is cheaper! Hats off to Hero!
Holy Grail!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this product. Just turning 40 and my skin hanged literally overnight! Sun spots starting to appear everywhere and this wand does the magic of lightening them. I wish I would have listened to my mom a long time ago when she said take care of your skin but thankfully we have products like these to help!
Great Product!

The Hero Cosmetics Lightning Wand is a solid spot treatment for tackling dark spots and post-blemish marks. It has a lightweight, serum-like texture and comes in a convenient rollerball applicator, making it easy to use. The formula includes niacinamide, vitamin C, and tranexamic acid, which work together to brighten skin and even out tone over time. While it doesn’t deliver instant results, consistent use can help fade discoloration. Some users might find the rollerball a bit finicky, but overall, it’s a good option for those looking to gradually improve dark spots without harsh ingredients.

Poorly designed: In theory it's a good idea, in reality super messy to use and easy to waste product

Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
Messy to use - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
This product is very messy. You're supposed to press the button to dispense product but even with just one light press SO much product comes out, to the point where it drips down the side of the wand. I feel like i'm wasting so much product.
Super handy, works well!

I have always had acne prone Dry skin, and all those pimples have left so many marks, my skin used to look uneven pigmented skin now all those dark spots are clearing out. I hesitate to use any new serum coz I tend to breakout so easily but this one brightens my skin and I don’t see any new pimples. Love it. Very easy to use and easy to carry.

I cant speak to long term results but im really not a fan if the sticky feeling left on my skin after using this. Hours later my skin has this odd stickiness and its really not pleasant. I really like everything else ive gotten from Hero i hope time can change my mind with this one

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the lightning ward for a little over a month without problem but that changed last night when I realized the bottle of the wand was leaking the product for some time now. I leave it up right in my skincare caddy. I would use it put it back and not notice anything until finally by chance I look into the caddy and see a puddle of the product. Waste a good part of it. Disappointing malfunction.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since using the hero cosmetics lightning wand, I've noticed that I have brighter skin less dark spots. My skin is a lot smoother and I get a lot of compliments that I don't have any fine lines or wrinkles. I really liked it. Has a rollerball and I can take it with me
Nice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product definitely has a learning curve for application. The pen will dispense quite a bit if you click it too much, so you have to be careful. The product itself is a bit cooling and dries down a bit tacky on the skin. Overall, with repeated use, it offers a decent solution to lightening dark spots.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It really helped w my big marks but it dried out my skin and I found that there were smaller marks that appeared. I stopped using it and it seems that these marks are going away now. Compared to this, I would prefer the post blemish cream.
Wow,I love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] HERO LIGHTNING WAND: this wand is wonderful, its function is incredible, it helps to lighten those dark spots and remove dead skin, it is very easy to use since it has a metal roller at the tip making it much easier when applying, in addition to everything it is a wand that has ingredients such as niacinamide, tranexamic acid and vitamin C, which are ingredients that help to have a more luminous and radiant skin, it is a serum that since I have been using it for 2 weeks now I have liked it a lot. I love to apply it in the morning and at night after applying my toner I use my LIGHTNING Wand and of course then I continue with my other skin care products and so it has worked perfectly for me.
so good
