An Honest Review of Hailey Biebers Rhode Skin

Per the brand, their mission statement is as follows, rhode was created to provide affordable, luxurious products with thoughtful intention that deliver gentle, effective skincare that will serve you for the long haul. The brand has promised, immediate nourishment and glow. Hailey has promised us glazed donut skin. Theres a lot to live up to.

Something else of note: with the launch of rhode skin, Bieber will also launch the Rhode Futures Foundation, a philanthropy program committed to investing in and supporting 1,000 women and their families in our first year with goal is to give women resources to help direct their futures. (The brand clarifies, when we say women, we mean all people who identify as women including non-binary, transgender, and non-cis people.)

Okay, weve all talked about it long enough. Lets get into the products.

The Products:

The Glazing Fluid is sort of the key stone product of the line, promising it instantly illuminates for a glazed finish. The key ingredients are niacinamide, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and marula oil.

Every skin care line needs a moisturizer and this one contains hydrating and barrier fortifying shea butter and squalane.

A thick clear lip balm with a non-sticky, but glossy looking finish, the Lip Treatment comes in three flavors: Unscented, Salted Caramel, and Watermelon Slice.

How to Use:

Rhode skin is directed to be used both AM and PM. Post cleansing, apply one or two pumps of the Peptide Glazing Fluid first (Editors note: on still damp skin for best moisture-locking effect). Then, follow with a 1/2 finger-length serving of the Barrier Restore Cream. (The instructions on how much product to use written directly on the packaging, which I personally think is great for clarity as too many people use too much product and waste it unnecessarily.)

Worth It?

With everything in the line (so far) retailing for under $30, its an attainable price point for pretty much everybody, on par with some of the biggest drugstore hits. For comparison Peptide Glazing Fluid is $29 for 1.7 oz. versus Vichy Mineral 89 Prebiotic Serum (containing niacinamide) at $34 and CeraVe Hyaluronic Acid Serum at $17 for about 1 oz. each. The Barrier Restore Cream is $29 for 1.7 oz. while Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is $24 and Olay Regenerist costs $25 for the same volume of 1.7 oz.

The Peptide Lip Treatment ($16 for .3 oz.) is more similar to cult favorite lip balms like the Glossier Balm Dotcom ($12 for .5 oz) and Laneige Lip Glowy Balm ($17 for .35 oz.), so it lands in a similar range price-wise, if a little more expensive than an average chapstick.

Results:

Im no Hailey Bieber, so I still have some persisting natural skin texture and pigmentation visible, but this goes to show the unfiltered finish of the skin care duo and lip balm. Here is my skin in its raw glory, with only the help of rhode skin.
