Hello
Colorado State University does not currently recommend chemical aeration as a replacement for core aeration. While the application of wetting solutions may be beneficial for soil absorption there is no evidence that it reduces soil compaction. Here is a short document that addresses the question.https://planttalk.colostate.edu/topics/lawns/1545-liquid-lawn-aeration/
I hope this helps.
