The desk verdict

Rhode’s original, untinted lip treatment: a glossy, high-shine layer with peptides and plant butters, £20 for 10ml. Choose unscented if you want fragrance-free; choose Peptide Lip Tint if you want sheer colour.

Skip this if you want colour, SPF lip protection, or a flavoured balm that is also fragrance-free.

What is in Peptide Lip Treatment?

Rhode’s Peptide Lip Treatment is the untinted original of the brand’s lip range: a glossy, balm-meets-gloss formula with palmitoyl tripeptide-1, shea, babassu and cupuaçu butters and vitamin E. Rhode says the range now uses an improved formula, without giving a date.

Smoothing or plumping language around peptides is a brand claim; The Cast Index treats the product as a high-shine conditioning layer.
