"The glazing fluid specifically, for my oily skin it's not a product I often reach for, but it still has great ingredients, and if you want to incorporate an added layer of hydration into your skin it's definitely great. However it operates more [...] like a toner or essence step of the routine, not a moisturizer, and it sounds like she's using it as her moisturizer instead of its designated purpose."

I Ranked Every Celebrity Skin Care Brand

"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."

"The glazed finish is real, the glow is real, but it's coming from the marula oil and the formulation texture, not the peptide, and calling it a peptide fluid and centering that as a hero ingredient is just marketing winning again. [...] Honestly, it really is a beautiful hydrating serum, but it really is for the finish and the niacinamide, not the peptide claim, because the peptide isn't doing what it suggests."

"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."

"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 TRIED RHODE SKINCARE SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO

"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."

"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."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.
