Mixed or Yay?

Mixed
But it's meant to be an initial step of your skincare routine, not something you follow sunscreen with, using it after sunscreen can impede the sunscreen's protective ability. Even though I like it from a formulation perspective, I still personally wouldn't really use that one on the regular, since I much prefer serums and moisturizers.

Yay
This is actually the most functional formula in the Rhode lineup to me for our skin's actual needs, the multi-depth hyaluronic acid and full ceramide complex are doing real work for melanin rich skin focused on skin barrier health and long-term hyperpigmentation prevention, and this one genuinely earns its place.

Why we only pair takes from the same month

A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next. Two takes far apart in time can look like a disagreement when they are really a description of a product that changed. So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
