Overhyped yt mediocre brand

Don’t fall for the Hype! Got the whole kit and the lipgloss. Made my lips darker and so dry and my face started breaking out the first day, but I kept going because they gaslighted me and now it keeps getting worse…. Now I have a huge acne breakouts and hyperpigmentations.

Save your money

Has pore cloggers. If you’re acne prone I would definitely check before buying ! There’s more budget friendly products out there

DRY SKIN GIRLIES, you will love this!

This barrier butter is incredible for extremely dry skin. I bought the entire mini kit from Rhode, which didn’t include this, so I added it to my cart because I know I prefer heavier moisturizers. It truly works wonders for dry skin. I also followed the instructions and added the glazing milk to the barrier butter, mixing it together to use as a daytime moisturizer, and it worked tremendously well. Out of all the products from Rhode Beauty that I’ve tried, the glazing milk is my absolute...

Beware for sensitive / acne prone skin.

Has shea butter in it !! Beware for sensitive skin. I had to do research to find out after it was making my face itchy!

Love Rhode Skin

I’ve been using Rhode Skin products for just above a year or so. I adore the Barrier Butter Intensive Moisture Balm. It always leaves my skin soft and supple. I often get comfy on ho my skin looks so nice and glowing. Love Rhode and so grateful that it will be available at Sephora and on their website as well.

It’s a BIG NO for me

Returning. Was not moisturizing at all. Made my skin red with bumps. By the morning it looks like a reaction for sure. I do not recommend this to anyone with dry sensitive skin. Not impresses

the texture is grainy, not sure if that’s how it is supposed to be but didn’t feel right.

Good but grainy

I have mixed feelings about this product. It’s very moisturizing and emollient, but it’s grainy…. I don’t think it’s supposed to feel grainy so I’m very confused. It feels like it has small bits of sand in it, not sure if the one I bought just came from a bad batch but other than the grainyness I like it

It broke me out I wouldn't even recommend it save your money.

Oily, cheap, tacky, not worth your money

This product is horrible, it felt like I was putting oil or butter on my skin and not in a good way. It left a tacky residue on my face. It was also hard to wash it off.

Addicted is an understatement

Absolutely love this. It makes my skin so buttery soft. I wear it everyday, and before bed. Definitely worth the money.

Must have for dry skin

Favorite moisturizer. My skin gets pretty dry during cold months, this moisturizer helps with dry skin and doesn’t make my skin breakout at all.
