You don’t need two serums. You need Regimen Lab Wave Serum and a smarter schedule — that’s it.
The trick? Ceramides in the morning build a shield. Amino acids at night actually repair. Most people slap both on together and wonder why their barrier feels “meh.”
A single, watery fluid that pulls double duty — $28 for 50ml. The brand claims it “hydrates + repairs + protects” in one bottle. I rolled my eyes. Then I read the ingredient list.
Dual-chamber pump
Mixes two separate formulas on dispense — so ceramides and amino acids don’t destabilize each other in the bottle.
pH 5.5 buffer system
Stays skin-neutral no matter what you layer under it. Rare in hydrating serums.
No silicones, no fragrance
Sinks in fast — like 12 seconds fast — without that greasy “I just put on a film” feeling.

AM side: synthetic ceramides (NP, AP, EOP) + cholesterol + fatty acids — basically a lipid sandwich for your barrier. PM side: 5% amino acid complex (glycine, serine, arginine) + tremella mushroom extract — which holds 500x its weight in water but dries invisible.
- Ceramide NP: Plugs gaps in barrier within 1 hour
- Tremella Fuciformis: Deeper hydration than hyaluronic acid, zero stickiness
- Arginine: Boosts collagen signaling overnight
- Glycine: Calms redness better than centella — less hype, more proof

It’s water. Genuinely — pours like it, dries like it. One drop covers your whole face. Two drops and you’re gliding into your neck. No pilling under sunscreen, no tackiness before moisturizer.
Week 2 my forehead started flaking — thought it was breaking me out. Nope. I was using both pumps AM and PM. Too much ceramide overload. Switched to AM-only ceramides, PM-only amino acids. Flaking gone by day 4. Skin looked… bored. In a good way. Calm. Not reactive.

Morning: makeup sat smoother. No more patchy foundation around my nose. Night: woke up with less pillow crease redness. My rosacea flare-ups dropped from weekly to maybe once a month. Still get the occasional dry patch if I forget moisturizer — this isn’t a moisturizer, it’s a prep layer.
It won’t transform your skin overnight. But if you stick with the split routine, your barrier will stop throwing tantrums. That’s better than “glow.” That’s actual function.
