I watched it sell out in 47 seconds and thought — seriously? It’s a lip balm in a squeeze tube.
But here’s the thing: Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment isn’t just hype. It’s the only celebrity product I’ve seen friends actually repurchase — not just flex once on Instagram.
$16 for 0.35 oz. The claim is “clinically proven hydration for 24 hours” — which I rolled my eyes at. Until day three.
Squeeze tube, not a pot
No dipping your finger in. No crusty residue around the lid.
The applicator is angled
Fits the curve of your lip exactly. Weirdly satisfying.
Scent is barely there
Like a whisper of vanilla. Not a sugar cookie explosion.

It’s surprisingly clean. She stripped out the filler crap most balms hide behind. The formula is thin — almost watery — but don’t let that fool you.
- Peptides: Plump without the tingle
- Shea butter: Sinks in, doesn’t sit on top
- Bakuchiol: Plant-based retinol for lip texture
- Avocado oil: Actually absorbs, doesn’t slide off

It slips on like melted butter — not sticky, not waxy. I forgot I was wearing it after 10 minutes. That never happens with gloss.
By week two, my lips stopped peeling. The weird flaky patches I thought were normal? Gone. Unexpected win: it doesn’t get gunky when you drink coffee.

My lip lines softened maybe 20%. Not a facelift — just noticeably smoother. The shine lasts about 90 minutes before you need a re-swipe. But the feeling of hydrated lips sticks around all day.

It’s not magic. It’s just a really good formula that respects your lips instead of coating them in plastic. And yeah — Hailey’s name is on it. But the product actually earned the hype.
