Wave hi to hydration 2.5
Wave Serum
Wave Serum hydrates instantly and deeply, designed to keep hydration in by supporting the skin’s moisture barrier. It's powered by Tidal Complex, our rigorously tested series of humectants, to deliver industry-leading hydration that lasts.
TLDR: Use Wave to keep skin hydrated; double up if you have dry skin that needs extra moisture.
Hydration that stays in
A hydrator that dives way deeper
Wave Serum's key insight was to pack it with humectants and NMFs rather than water or glycols. Now, we’ve gone further: we doubled our core humectant combination and we now use 10% Acetamidoethoxyethanol (AXE), the new gold standard for skin hydration.
Longwave
Wave promotes long-term hydration by supporting the skin’s natural hydration mechanisms. This system (TECA) kickstarts skin’s aquaporin synthesis, allowing skin to stay hydrated long after application.
We pair these with natural moisturizing factors to keep skin deeply hydrated for longer.
The barrier’s the thing
All humectants by definition hydrate the skin, but our research revealed that some can have subtle, negative effects on the barrier. We removed ingredients that could irritate or weaken the skin barrier, keeping skin happy and hydrated.

SEE ALL FAQsWave Serum is a powerful hydration serum that helps dry and irritated skin. It is packed with humectants that deeply hydrate the skin leading to healthier-looking skin.
It would be best if you used it right before your moisturizer. It helps spread your moisturizer so that you won't need a lot. If you have really dry skin, you can opt to use it as an in-shower product right after cleansing.
You'll see plumper-looking skin 24 hours after using it. You'll often notice the results when you wake up the next day if you use it at night.
Wave 2.0 was a massive update that created the industry’s best hydration serum - validated by rigorous testing and thousands of you.
We’ve taken two years of real-world usage data to further optimize version 2.5: improving hydration, texture, and routine compatibility.
So what’s changed?
- We switched out Propanediol, replacing it with a supercharged Methylpropanediol for enhanced after-feel
- Optimized the thickeners to minimize pilling and to boost Wave’s gentle cooling effect
- Replaced buffering agent Pantolactone to a more sensitive-skin compatible Triethyl Citrate that also has breakout-inhibiting properties

Peer reviewed and then reviewed by peers
From our first lab samples to 100s of real-world testers to you, we are obsessed with feedback.
Scientifically Engineered
We re-engineered Wave 2.5 to be the most complete hydration serum backed by science.
We tested and re-tested
✅ We used equipment to test dozens of the best available humectants (primary ingredients for skin hydration) and ruthlessly cut the list to end up with only the best.
then we gave it a name
👩🔬Our new core mix of humectants is called Tidal Complex. We're very excited about two new ingredients that impressed us in our research and stunned us when we studied them in the lab.
and we perfected it with you
✅ With Tidal Complex set, we iterated with hundreds of versions to get the texture right. Then we opened it up to the toughest critics of all - you! 100s of testers helped us perfect the texture and verify the performance of this all new Wave.
