If you're into celebrities or skin care, you probably know by now that Hailey Bieber came out with a skin-care line, affectionately named Rhode for her middle name. I won't lie: I've never been one to jump on the celebrity-beauty-brand bandwagon, but Rhode feels . . . different. It could be that I'm a fan of Bieber's style, hairstyles, and even go-to nail colors, but when I heard about the brand, I wanted to try it out.

On June 15, Rhode dropped three skin-care products: the Barrier Restore Cream ($29), the Peptide Glazing Fluid ($29), and the Peptide Lip Treatment ($16), all housed in ultrachic packaging that is both minimal and eye-catching at the same time. I was most intrigued by the Peptide Lip Treatment because I love lip products, but I'm also very particular about what I choose to use on a regular basis. I like my products to be hydrating without feeling heavy, to feel glossy but not sticky, and of course, to taste or smell great. There are only a few lip products that pass my very rigorous standards.

About the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment

What I Like About the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment

I have extremely dry skin, and that extends to my lips. They're the first part of my body to get sunburned, and I even have some damage on my lips from lying out in the sun without a hat. Because of this, you will not find me on any given day without my favorite hydrating product of choice — Aquaphor — slathered all over my lips. During the day, I use a tiny amount mixed with a lip balm with SPF, and at night, I layer it on my lips in thick layers on top of moisturizer. Although I never go into testing out a lip product thinking it could be a replacement for my go-to, the first time I tried the Peptide Lip Treatment, it definitely gave it a run for its money.

I first opted to try the Salted Caramel scent, and I was instantly obsessed with how it smelled. It was like a piece of candy, without smelling or tasting synthetic at all. It came out of the tube in a clear, thick, gel-like consistency that spread easily over my lips. They felt immediately hydrated and soothed after just two swipes of the Peptide Lip Treatment, and that is not an exaggeration. When my lips stayed hydrated even after the product and glossiness faded, though, I knew I had found a winner.

I was able to test the brand's latest tinted versions prior to launch, and I was just as impressed with the new options. Toast and Ribbon felt like they were made for my lips. The shades matched my natural color almost perfectly, they were easy to swipe on, and even with the addition of pigment, they still didn't tug or pull on my skin and left everything feeling moisturized after application.

To put it simply, Rhode's Peptide Lip Treatment has become my new go-to product for my dry, chapped lips, and it's landed a permanent spot on my beauty counter (and in my purse . . . and in my car . . .).

How to Use the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment

The brand recommends swiping on the product at any time for extra hydration. To use it as a lip-plumping mask, it recommends applying a thick layer and letting it sit on your lips for a full 10 minutes. Then, wipe off any excess product before applying lip liner or lipstick.

I apply the colorless versions whenever my lips are feeling dry. I love using the tinted versions when I'm going out because I don't need to bring any other products in my purse (like a lip liner or lipstick) since they do it all. I usually opt for Aquaphor if I need extra hydration, but ever since testing this product, I've been using the unscented version instead.

What to Consider Before Trying the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment

Although this product isn't sticky, it should be noted that it's thicker than a lip gloss. It's a treatment, after all. I love the consistency, but if you're looking for something thin, know that this isn't that.
