The formula, explained.
The ingredients behind this formula—and what they bring to your skin.
Oxygen nanobubbles
Billions of microscopic bubbles of oxygen, stabilized so they stay in the solution longer than in typical oxygen-based skincare, and small enough to sit within the skin’s surface and pores.
Vegetable glycerin
A natural humectant that draws water into the skin’s surface and helps keep it feeling hydrated and supple.
Distilled water
Purified water that carries the nanobubbles, with no preservatives, fragrance or fillers added.

AO₂ Hydrate
Light, Clean Hydration for Dehydrated or Sensitive Skin
AO₂ Hydrate pairs billions of stabilized oxygen nanobubbles with natural vegetable glycerin in distilled water. That’s the whole formula: no preservatives, fragrance or actives. It gives skin that feels tight or dry a drink of light hydration, and is gentle enough for sensitive skin and the days after a professional treatment.
Applied with a fresh sponge and left slightly dewy, it helps skin feel plump and comfortable, and prepares it for the serum and moisturizer that follow.
Benefits
- Helps skin feel hydrated, plump and comfortable
- Softens the look of dryness and tightness
- Helps the look of redness appear calmer
- Supports a comfortable-feeling skin barrier
- Just three ingredients, with no preservatives, fragrance or actives
How to use
- Cleanse and pat dry: Start with a gentle cleanser, then pat skin dry.
- Saturate a fresh sponge: Pour the solution into the tray and fully soak a new sponge.
- Apply and leave dewy: Smooth over the face in gentle circles, or dab if skin is sensitive. Don’t wipe it off; let it air-dry until slightly dewy.
- Continue your routine: Apply serum and moisturizer while skin is still damp, then sunscreen by day.

Light, Clean Hydration for Dehydrated or Sensitive Skin
AO₂ Hydrate pairs billions of stabilized oxygen nanobubbles with natural vegetable glycerin in distilled water. That’s the whole formula: no preservatives, fragrance or actives. It gives skin that feels tight or dry a drink of light hydration, and is gentle enough for sensitive skin and the days after a professional treatment.
Applied with a fresh sponge and left slightly dewy, it helps skin feel plump and comfortable, and prepares it for the serum and moisturizer that follow.
Benefits
- Helps skin feel hydrated, plump and comfortable
- Softens the look of dryness and tightness
- Helps the look of redness appear calmer
- Supports a comfortable-feeling skin barrier
- Just three ingredients, with no preservatives, fragrance or actives
Best For
- Dehydrated skin that feels tight, especially in dry Canadian winters
- Sensitive or reactive skin
- The days after a professional treatment, as directed by your provider
- Anyone who wants hydration without heaviness
Texture and Finish
A water-light liquid applied with a soft sponge. It leaves a soft, dewy finish that layers easily.
How It Works
Glycerin is a humectant: it draws water into the skin’s surface and helps hold it there. The oxygen nanobubbles, stabilized so they last in the solution, are small enough to sit within the skin’s surface. Applying it while the next products go on damp skin helps lock that hydration in.
How to Use
- Cleanse with a gentle cleanser and pat dry.
- Pour the solution into the tray and fully saturate a fresh sponge.
- Smooth over the whole face in gentle circles. If skin is sensitive or breaking out, dab lightly instead.
- Do not wipe it off. Let it air-dry until skin still feels slightly dewy, then apply your serum, moisturizer and, by day, sunscreen.
Use morning and evening. After a professional treatment, follow your provider’s instructions.
What’s Included
- 30-day supply: four 150 ml pouches, 60 biodegradable application sponges and one application tray.
- 60-day supply: eight 150 ml pouches, 120 biodegradable application sponges and two application trays.
- Travel pack: ten single-use 14 ml pouches, 10 biodegradable application sponges and one application tray.
Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation
Hydrate is the step we suggest when skin is thirsty and easily upset: winter tightness, a compromised-feeling barrier or recovery after a treatment. Follow it with a barrier-supporting moisturizer while skin is still damp. If you are also managing breakouts, alternate with AO₂ Clear.
Key Ingredients
- Oxygen nanobubbles: Billions of stabilized microscopic bubbles of oxygen, the heart of AO₂’s patented technology.
- Natural vegetable glycerin: A humectant that draws in moisture and helps keep skin feeling hydrated.
- Distilled water: The pure base that carries everything else.
