Moisturizer
Clearstem Hydraglow
4.3
A light, gel-cream moisturizer that hydrates without a greasy feel, with a modest effect beyond comfort.
Cleanser
Clearstem GentleClean
4.2
A gentle gel cleanser that cleans without leaving skin tight, with a caveat for heavy makeup.
Anti-aging serum
Clearstem Bounceback
4.2
A glowy, well-formulated peptide serum with subtle benefits; you pay mostly for the formula, not proven transformation.
Renewal serum
Clearstem Cellrenew
4.1
A calming renewal serum aimed at post-blemish recovery and barrier support; tester reports are positive but still limited.
Face oil
Clearstem Goldenhour
4.1
A face oil designed for blemish-prone skin; promising ingredients, but little independent testing so far.
Exfoliating mask
Clearstem Pregame
4.0
A quick, fairly gentle exfoliating mask that gives a quick glow, though not everyone finds it special.
Sunscreen
Clearstem Youaresunshine SPF 50+
4.4
A tinted, acne-safe mineral sunscreen with a soft-focus finish, best for medium tones and normal to oily skin.
Face mist
Clearstem SkinSpray All Day
4.1
A refreshing, acne-safe hypochlorous face mist with promising ingredients; most of the proof comes from the brand.

Lip care
Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment
4.6
The product that made Rhode famous: a comfortable, glossy lip balm that is easy to like and easy to reorder.
Lip color
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.
Cheeks
Rhode Pocket Blush
4.6
A pigmented, blendable cream blush that is easy for beginners and doubles as a lip color.
Lip definition
Rhode Peptide Lip Shape
4.4
A soft, blendable lip liner that shapes and flatters rather than outlines sharply.
Skincare
Rhode Glazing Milk
4.2
A comfortable, hydrating essence that boosts a routine rather than transforms it, best for normal to dry skin.
Skincare
Rhode Barrier Restore Cream
4.3
A well-rounded daily moisturizer that pairs water-binding ingredients with emollients, with a light feel and a niacinamide boost.
Cheeks
Rhode Pocket Bronze
4.4
A creamy, easy-to-blend bronzer that reviewers say looks natural and wears well, with eight shades for a range of skin tones.
Skincare
Rhode Barrier Butter
4.5
A rich, fragrance-free balm that reviewers say fixes seasonal dryness quickly, and a better fit for dry skin than for oily skin.
