Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment flavors at a glance

Rhode Vanilla Soft, fluffy vanilla cake You like a classic dessert scent

Is there any difference beyond the scent?

No meaningful one. The Peptide Lip Treatment is built on peptides, shea butter and vitamin E, and reviewers describe the same thick, glossy, comfortable feel across flavors. TODAY’s editors listed the Treatment first among the best Rhode products, citing that comfortable, non-tacky formula. You are choosing scent, not performance.

Which flavor should you choose?

  • Sensitive or fragrance-averse: unscented.
  • Everyday and safe: Rhode vanilla.
  • Sweet tooth: salted caramel or strawberry glaze.
  • Light and fruity: watermelon slice.

Limited editions and availability

Rhode adds and retires flavors, so strawberry glaze and other limited editions may be missing or return later. The brand’s product pages are the only reliable list of what is available right now.

Want color instead?

None of the flavors adds real color. For tinted wear, look at the Peptide Lip Tint, and read how the two compare in our Lip Treatment vs Lip Tint guide.

Our take: if you are buying your first one, choose the scent you would enjoy every day, and pick unscented if you are unsure. The balm underneath is the same.

Rhode Peptide Lip Tint

4.3

A sheer-to-buildable tinted balm that keeps the comfort of the original, with the trade-off that color wears off sooner than a lipstick.
