What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise the hydration and glossy finish, with most finding it effective at keeping lips plump and smooth throughout daily use. The reformulated version (as of July 2025) addressed early graininess complaints by switching to liquid shea butter. Key concerns include short wear time requiring frequent reapplication, undisclosed tree nut content posing risks for allergic users, and lingering reports of unpleasant smell and texture issues from the original formula that some feel were never fully resolved.

"I have always been impressed with Rhode Skincare. I feel like those formulas just right out of the gate were so good. I'm still personally obsessed with the lip balm. It's my favorite product from her. I like all of the formulas. The entire formulation philosophy of Rhode Skin is so good, and she's worked with some of the best dermatologists out there to create the brand."

The BEST Moisturizers of 2023
"The Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment does a good job of keeping my lips hydrated, not dry or cracked, and it gives the lips this ultra glossy look. I'm really surprised that I like this product as much as I do because normally I'm not into a super glossy look, but this formula makes my lips look so glossy, plumped, revived. It's not even a lip plumper, it just makes your lips look plump. It does have some really good ingredients like peptides, shea butter, babassu oil, it's definitely a really impressive ingredient list, but the most important thing to me is that it works and I really enjoyed my experience. It doesn't last as long as some other options and I do find myself having to use this maybe like five times a day, but that is so much better than almost every other lip product I've used out there. It is a recommendation I do stand by."

"I have always loved it. There's a reason why it is so popular."

"Can I just talk about this Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment? I know people were really overhyping this, but the smell is like this banana, desserty smell on the lips. I put this on overnight and when I wake up in the morning, it's still on my lips. I can feel this hydrated region in my mouth. Usually I'm putting on a night mask hoping that I wake up in the morning with the most plump, smooth lips, but this has been incredible. I think it's a new formulation, which I kind of want to explore a little bit more."
Approved
"My lips are so dry. I held off hydrating them because I knew I wanted to try this today. I got the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment in the sugar mint, and usually I don't like minty things. This is so cute and chunky. I guess this is their lip mask. It's nice and thick, really thick. The mint is kind of sweet. That felt really nice."
Approved
"A peptide lip treatment hydrated your lips great, smoothing fine lines and apparently plumping your lips over time. I mean, it wasn't anything mindblowing, but it was probably an improvement on similar products that already existed in the market. It is my favorite product to come out of Rhode."

The Ruthless Rise of Rhode Skincare -Quality Complaints & Corporate Control - Behind The Beauty
"It wasn't the response that everyone was looking forward to. It wasn't a response that people took well, especially since Rhode's products aren't particularly cheap, and it wouldn't be until another year later when they went viral again for the same issue that Rhode would finally make some changes. In July of 2025, the brand finally reformulated the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment, swapping out solid shea butter for liquid shea butter, which seems to have fixed the grainy texture. I don't think they've ever really addressed the moldy, gross smell people have complained about or the claims of adverse reactions."

"These lip tints give you a real glossy finish, which I absolutely love, and it isn't too colored. It's very natural looking. They're not heavy, they're not sticky. They don't taste like lip products. They're really not sticky, really non-bothersome. And the colors are just there's enough colors for all different kind of lip shades. They keep that moisture and they hold that hydration throughout the day without having to constantly reapply."

"I have to say honestly, I did not expect to be impressed by a celebrity skincare line. If you've got teenage daughters, they should be buying Rhode. I think that this brand is so clever, it's barrier boosting, it's gentle, it's peptides, it's barrier protecting. I've not used a duff product, I love it, it's really nice. They are so good, this is the range your daughter should be using. The peptide lip treatment, I don't like the smell of them but I totally get why you love them. The Rhode Peptide Glazing Fluid is just a really beautiful lightweight gel cream with peptide and hyaluronic acid, super lightweight, lovely lovely."

"I've really been loving the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment. They're just really nice, very very very hydrating. I was super surprised because as you guys know I pretty much only ever wear the Auric lip treatment. This was probably the first time that I used a lip treatment, lip balm, anything like that that didn't dry out my lips and actually hydrated them. I love this and I will not stop using it."
