At Exponent, we don't launch products often.
HydroGlow is our first new innovation in over two years—and it reflects a shift in how we think about skincare: not just what's in a formula, but how it's delivered to your skin in real life.
What Is HydroGlow?
HydroGlow is a 45-second oxygen facial at home and a 3-in-1 hydration device designed to:
- Restore hydration
- Support collagen and microcirculation
- Leave skin visibly plump with a dewy glow
It uses a high-pressure system to activate oxygen with multi-weight hyaluronic acid, creating an ultra-fine, ionized mist that evenly disperses across the skin.
Why We Created a 45-Second Oxygen Facial at Home
Most skincare routines are built for ideal conditions: morning application, nighttime routines, controlled environments. But skin doesn't live in those conditions.
It changes throughout the day—losing hydration, dulling, tightening. And most products aren't designed to be reapplied easily, especially over makeup.
That creates a gap: there's no effective, real-time way to restore hydration during the day.
HydroGlow was designed to fill that gap.
Where HydroGlow Fits in Your Skincare Routine
HydroGlow is not a replacement for your existing skincare. It's a complementary step that enhances your routine and extends it throughout the day.
After Your Serum
Enhance hydration and create a smooth, dewy finish.
Midday
Restore hydration when skin feels dry, tight, or dull.
Before Going Out or Events
For visibly plumper, more radiant skin.
Over or Under Makeup
Without disrupting your look.
How HydroGlow Is Different from Other Skincare Devices
Most skincare devices fall into two categories:
Treatment Devices (LED, Microcurrent, etc.)
These require time and consistency, and are used at home in structured routines.
Facial Mists
These sit primarily on the surface, providing a temporary refresh—not meaningful delivery.
HydroGlow: A New Category
HydroGlow is a hydration delivery device designed for real-time use. It differs in three key ways:
- Ultra-fine mist technology for even, lightweight dispersion
- Oxygen and hyaluronic acid activation for enhanced hydration delivery
- Designed for use throughout the day, not just as a treatment step
How the 3-in-1 Hydration Device Works
HydroGlow combines three technologies:
- Ionized oxygen: Supports microcirculation and a refreshed appearance
- Multi-weight hyaluronic acid: Hydrates at multiple levels of the skin
- High-pressure delivery system: Creates a fine, line-filling mist
Hyaluronic acid can bind up to 1,000x its weight in water, helping replenish moisture and visibly plump the skin.
When to Use HydroGlow (Real-Life Moments)
HydroGlow is designed for the moments when skincare typically stops working:
- In the back of an Uber
- Between meetings
- Walking into dinner
- Before photos
- Mid-afternoon when skin feels dry or tight
This is where a 45-second oxygen facial at home becomes most useful.
The Next Step in Skincare: From Ingredients to Delivery
Skincare innovation has historically focused on ingredients, then on formulation. Now, the next frontier is delivery: how ingredients reach the skin, how they perform in real-world conditions, and how skincare adapts throughout the day.
HydroGlow represents this shift.
A New Layer in Your Routine
If your serum is your treatment step, HydroGlow is your real-time hydration and delivery step. It doesn't replace what you use—it makes your skincare work better, longer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 45-second oxygen facial at home?
A 45-second oxygen facial at home is a quick, device-based treatment that uses oxygen and hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid to visibly refresh, plump, and hydrate skin in under a minute. Unlike traditional in-spa oxygen facials, it's designed for daily, real-life use.
How does HydroGlow work?
HydroGlow uses a high-pressure system to activate oxygen with multi-weight hyaluronic acid, creating an ultra-fine, ionized mist. This allows hydration to be evenly dispersed across the skin for a lightweight, visibly plumping effect.
What are the benefits of an oxygen facial device?
An oxygen facial device like HydroGlow can help:
- Restore hydration
- Support microcirculation for a more refreshed look
- Improve the appearance of skin plumpness
- Deliver a dewy, radiant finish
Can you use HydroGlow over makeup?
Yes. HydroGlow is designed to be used over or under makeup without disrupting your look, making it ideal for midday hydration and on-the-go use.
How is HydroGlow different from a facial mist?
Traditional facial mists primarily sit on the surface of the skin and evaporate quickly. HydroGlow creates an ultra-fine, ionized mist that disperses more evenly and is designed to enhance how hydration is delivered—resulting in a more visible, longer-lasting effect.
How often should you use an oxygen facial device?
HydroGlow can be used daily and throughout the day—morning, midday, or before events—whenever your skin needs hydration or a visible refresh.
Is hyaluronic acid effective for hydration?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid is one of the most well-researched hydrating ingredients and can bind up to 1,000x its weight in water, helping replenish moisture and improve the appearance of skin fullness and elasticity.
Where does HydroGlow fit in a skincare routine?
HydroGlow is a complementary step:
- After serums — to enhance hydration
- Midday — to restore moisture
- Before events — for a dewy, plump finish
It extends your skincare routine beyond morning and night.
