Barrier Butter Intensive Moisture Balm.

"This one surprised me in a very very good way. If you tried the Lash Pose Sea Plus Balm, it's kind of that thick almost like comforting medical feeling kind of texture to it, but this feels very elevated as far as the sensorial experience goes. The claims that Rhode make is that it helps strengthen the skin barrier, deep long-lasting hydration, plumper, more toned looking skin, and over time, softer fine lines, and an immediate glow. And honestly, I it does 99% of that. I think Rhode are very good at their marketing without all the marketing fluff in their product descriptions. I feel like they never overpromise, so you're not left massively disappointed. Looking at the ingredients here, we have five different weights of hyaluronic acid, which gives you that different layers of hydration, giving you that plump glow from within kind of feeling and look. But then we have polyglutamic acid, which is kind of like a much better hydrator in my opinion."

"I don't care what anyone says or what your opinion is on Hailey Bieber as a person. This is good. This is a proper occlusive style balm moisturizer, kind of their version of the La Roche-Posay Cica Plast, but in a much more cosmetically elegant way. It has a hyaluronic acid complex and polyglutamic acid which is so nicely hydrating, murumuru butter, and ceramides for barrier support. It's designed to seal everything in overnight and it's really not that heavy as it sounds. When my barrier feels compromised or I've traveled or my skin is dry from travel, this is the final step in my evening routine. It's kind of buttery, not suffocating, and I wake up with really nice soft plump dewy skin. When I use it I really love having remnants of product on my skin the next day because in reality I wake up and go straight out for a dog walk and if I wake up dry the cold weather will dry my skin out more. I've purchased it time and time again because I'm not on Rhode's PR list anymore."

"This is a balm, it's balmy, and so the spread of this on the skin is not easy. It's got some resistance to spread because it really wants to lie down on the skin ASAP and form a protective film. So if there's moisture on the skin surface I find that that does not go on so easily. It's not as though it can't be done but it doesn't glide on easily, similar to if you were to take a diaper rash cream and try and put it on the skin while it's wet you're going to get more resistance because these balms are intended to really help provide as much as possible a watertight seal so they don't really mix well with damp skin. This has niacinamide and glutathione, those are antioxidants that help in the battle against hyperpigmentation, oxidative stress that contributes to skin aging, weathering from environmental aggressors, and niacinamide is also great for the moisture barrier as well."

"It does sink down into the skin nicely and doesn't leave that kind of cruddy film on the skin surface but it does feel very balmy, very filmy, very thick and it's a little challenging to spread efficiently on the skin surface. But ultimately after using it for a week at this point both on my body and on my face it does do a good job moisturizing the skin, reducing transepidermal water loss. It's also very good at lubricating the skin surface and reducing external friction which ultimately can further compromise barrier integrity. If you're someone who deals with redness, irritation under the arms, maybe the sides from sweat from running from working out, this would be a great option to apply in that area to lubricate the skin and cut down on shaving and irritation. Likewise it's really good between the inner thighs, it's also good around the ankles if you get a lot of irritation there from friction, walking, running, or from a particular type of shoe that tends to rub in that area. This is great to use to cut down on that irritation from that friction and from pressure from shoe straps. It's a decently sized bottle. If you're using it strategically to just certain areas as a skin protectant it will go a long way."

"Their newer barrier butter with poly glutamic acid is so good. It's so good."

"I really like the barrier butter from Rhode. It's very nice, it's just cocooning but it's not too thick. I love the Rhode Barrier Butter and it's great, but the scent sometimes throws me and sometimes I want it and sometimes I don't, and it's greasy. There's no, even the light one, it's greasy and the light one peels a little bit unfortunately, but I love the Rhode Barrier Butter."

"In terms of skin I really really like the Barrier Butter from Rhode. It's very nice, it's just cocooning but it's not too thick. I love the Rhode Barrier Butter and it's a great alternative to other heavier balms because it rubs around nicely without being as greasy."
