Rhode Site →Amazon →Sephora →rhode skin →Summary of Reviews
Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment is a glossy, lightweight balm that several creators describe as more of a tinted gloss than a nourishing treatment. The sheer shades like Toast and Espresso give a subtle wash of color, with a smooth, non-sticky feel and high shine that earns compliments. A few note the tinted versions can separate if unused for a while, and one creator finds the shimmer distracting, while another calls it pricey for what it is.

- “A fantastic balm gloss hybrid because it has enough hydration to feel helpful”5:42–5:49
- “A plush cushiony feel and super glossy shine, like people complimenting the shine and asking what I'm wearing levels of glossy”5:52–5:57
- “So smooth on the lips, fragrance-free, but the hint of shea butter in the formula still makes it tasty”5:59–6:06
- “The name lip treatment might suggest that this reaches lip mask levels of hydration, but I find it's like most medium-weight balms you want to keep reapplying”6:06–6:13
- “For that reason, it's something I consider more of a great comfortable gloss with good ingredients, not a replenishing balm I'd reach for if my lips really needed help”6:15–6:22

- “It's a light to medium weight. It doesn't feel overly oily”2:18–2:23
- “The tube itself. It is thinner, and I think that allows for, again, better application because you can be more precise with it”2:31–2:36
- “I don't think that this is a peptide treatment necessarily for the lips. I think that that is a little exaggerated”3:07–3:12

- “They taste expensive”3:22–3:24
