What the gurus are saying

The fluid's lightweight gel texture and hydrating power earn consistent praise, with gurus noting it visibly plumps skin and softens fine lines without feeling heavy under makeup. Peptide content is modest rather than concentrated, but the formula compensates with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and marula oil that work together to support the skin barrier and deliver a dewy finish. One reviewer found it ineffective, though the majority appreciate the simple ingredient list, clean packaging, and fair price point; those with very reactive skin may want to patch-test first, and applying it over damp skin after cleansing seems to help absorption.

"The Peptide Glazing Fluid was similar to the lip treatment, but for the rest of the face. It was also super hydrating. It's supposed to smooth out fine lines, plump skin over time, and of course, give that glaze look that Haley Bieber is known for."

"One of the first products that impressed me from Rhode is their Peptide Glazing Fluid. The reality is peptides are expensive. They're oftentimes formulated into very high price point products, which is why I appreciate that this is a lower price point, but it also has really unique ingredients like marula oil. It has a unique consistency, but you look at the ingredient list and it's still simple. It's not overly excessive. It's not like they're throwing in a ton of ingredients to just unnecessarily load up the product. And it's free of common irritants, fragrance, essential oils, drying alcohols for a good fair price point."

BEST BEAUTY BUYS FOR THE HEIGHT OF SUMMER
"I absolutely love Rhode. I thought it's very interesting that a young person with relatively problem-free skin decided just to do barrier function of peptide products and I really love it. The Peptide Glazing Fluid I'm using most days now although I do love to layer on my peptides in the summer. I love the packaging, I love the idea that their barrier repair and their peptide base, and I just think she deserves to go from strength to strength."

"The Rhode Peptide Glazing Fluid is quite a simple formulation. It's got baobab seed oil in it, niacinamide which is fantastic for the skin barrier, glycerin, and some peptides. There's not as many peptides as I thought they would be in the product, but it's a nice simple formulation. There's nothing kind of groundbreaking from it, but it definitely will help with hydration. There's no doubt about it with those ingredients. It's actually fantastic. The packaging is fully recyclable, less harm to the peptides because they've got some great packaging from recycled tin materials. Overall it's a nice kind of clean brand with no nasties in it, but again not going to change your skin too much. I love applying this over my toner when the toner is still a little bit damp as well. I just feel like it helps the product absorb so nicely."

I TRIED RHODE SKINCARE SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO
"The consistency of a very lightweight moisturizer, it builds itself as a fluid but it's not a true liquid, it has more grip to it than a liquid, more of a lightweight gel-like consistency. I've really enjoyed using this product, I've had no issues with it. I do think it's very moisturizing. I've layered it over the glazing milk and I really like that combination, it's very soothing, hydrating, and you do see the skin appear a lot plumper and smoother, and that helps diminish the appearance of fine lines ever so subtly as well as helps with diminishing the appearance of pores. I like the way this layers on over the milk, or I've also used it by itself without the glazing milk and it too is nice and hydrating. The two together I think have supporting roles in terms of the ingredient families so layering them on top of one another works out well, but you certainly could get improvement using one or the other."

"The Rhode Peptide Glazing Fluid has acetyl hexapeptide-8, which is one of the ingredients that are considered the botox in a bottle and it's marketed as Argireline. I really like this one, it's just a really lightweight gel-like serum. There are several different benefits of peptides and one of them is hydrating and moisturizing the skin. The Rhode skin care line is really geared towards hydrating and moisturizing, nourishing the skin barrier."

"This is a serum that has peptides in it. It's going to help further hydrate the skin and it will help target some of the fine lines and wrinkles. I'm liking the product so far."

"It has a Botox-like effect, it's supposed to be there to sort of relax the wrinkles and to plump up the skin. So in theory this should be delivering smoother skin. It also has hyaluronic acid for plumping and hydrating the skin, plus it has marula oil which contains fatty acids and antioxidants to protect the skin, to also hydrate the skin and to make the skin feel softer. I loved the feel of this on my skin. I like the texture of it on my skin and I felt this combined with this did pack a hydration punch so my skin felt really good. This is all about hydration and for me I felt that it gave that dewy finish."
