Rhode’s Glazing Milk is the product that converted me to a Rhode stan. While the milky essence category continues to grow, Rhode was one of the first stateside brands to jump on the bandwagon.
The Glazing Milk has a lightweight yet creamy consistency. The ingredient list is like a vitamin shot for your skin, featuring a trio of ceramides, beta-glucan to calm the skin, and a blend of magnesium, zinc, and copper that protects your barrier. It’s the perfect hydration base layer for your skincare routine or can be mixed with a foundation to create a DIY skin tint.

Best Plumping Serum
Rhode Skin Peptide Glazing Fluid
Pros
Hydrating and plumping
Wear great under makeup
Cons
May not be hydrating enough for dry skin on its own
The Peptide Glazing Fluid was one of Rhode’s first products, offering a glimpse into Hailey Bieber’s plumping skincare routine. While hydrating serums sometimes conjure thick, gloopy textures, this formula is more like a light gel that instantly sinks into the skin. It gently hydrates skin, leaving a subtle glow. My skin drinks up this serum, and it’s the perfect layer under makeup or as an extra layer of hydration and plumping before bed.

Best Cleanser for Sensitive Skin
Rhode Skin Pineapple Refresh
Pros
Exfoliating
Fruity scent
Hydrating
There’s a reason this cleanser won a Harper’s Bazaar Skincare Award, and why it’s become my go-to cleanser. With most face washes, I still feel dirt, makeup, and grime left on my face even after a thorough scrub, but the lather on this balm-to-foam cleanser is unmatched—it takes the day off in one fell swoop. Pineapple is the star of the show in this cleanser—specifically pineapple enzyme, which sloughs off dead skin—while polyglutamic acid and green tea extract hydrate.

Best Overall Cream
Rhode Barrier Butter
Pros
Can be used on the whole body
A little goes a long way
Cons
Can be too rich for oily skin
The brand’s latest skincare launch is like an SOS button for parched, irritated skin. A thicker, more hydrating iteration of the brand’s Barrier Restore Cream, the Barrier Butter harnesses the power of hyaluronic acid (utilizing five different molecular weights of the ingredient) and ceramides, along with nourishing, rich murumuru butter, to lock in moisture.
I love using the rich, buttery cream as the last layer of my nighttime routine, but also on any dry patches from head to toe. Hailey Bieber told us she uses the Barrier Butter everywhere—from her neck and chest to her hands and even her arms.

Best Unscented Lip Product
Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment
Pros
Plumping and hydratin
Comes in fun shades
Cons
Peptides can sometimes feel grainy over time
The lip balm that started it all, Rhode’s Peptide Lip Treatment went viral when the brand first launched, and for good reason. While the texture of this skincare-infused treatment feels more like a gloss than a traditional treatment balm, it leaves lips with a high-shine finish that also plumps courtesy of peptides. The treatment has now expanded into tinted versions and has even inspired other peptide-forward lip products, such as the Peptide Lip Shape liner.

Best Fine Mist
Rhode Glazing Mist
Pros
Superfine mist
Long-lasting hydration
The brand’s newest launch is a hydrating face mist designed to refresh the skin and add a glow with a single spritz. While I haven’t gotten my hands on the Glazing Mist yet, it has all the hallmarks of a great mist, including a superfine mister. The formula boasts a ceramide trio to improve the skin barrier, ectoin to keep skin hydrated throughout the day, and panthenol to soothe skin.

Best Overall Cream
Rhode Barrier Restore Cream
Many moisturizers on the market contain actives such as acids or retinol, but Rhode’s face moisturizer has zero actives—just ingredients that focus on calming, softening, and hydrating the skin. When my perioral dermatitis flares up, I reach for this lightweight yet moisturizing formula, which is filled with squalane, peptides, niacinamide, shea butter, and acai.
