The Korean Beauty Show
One of our listeners asked for a list of Korean skincare swaps for Rhode Skin, so in this episode we’re breaking down the best K-Beauty alternatives for that dewy, glazed skin look Hailey Bieber is known for.

Firstly, we've got Peptide Glazing Fluid, which is described by the brand as "Hailey’s signature step to dewy, glazed skin".
Rhode's Peptide Glazing Fluid is also "a lightweight, quick-absorbing, gel serum that visibly plumps and hydrates to support a healthy skin barrier."
The star ingredients are listed as:
The full ingredients list is:
"Water/Aqua/Eau, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil, Niacinamide, Tetradecane, Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer, Diheptyl Succinate, Benzyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Oleate, Sucrose Palmitate, Hydroxyacetophenone, Carbomer, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium Phosphate, Sodium Phosphate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Dilauryl Thiodipropionate, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8."
There are two K-Beauty products that I think fit the bill for an excellent skincare swap thanks to the dewy glaze finish they'll give you.

Next, we have the Peptide Lip Treatment, which is described by the brand as "a restorative lip treatment for naturally plump, pillowy-soft lips — day or night." This formula leaves lips looking glossy thanks to:
The full ingredients list is;
"Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Diisostearyl Malate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Polybutene, Microcrystalline Wax, Synthetic Wax, Octyldodecanol, Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin), Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate, Phytosteryl/Isostearyl/Cetyl/Stearyl/Behenyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tribehenin, Stevioside, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter, Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil, Sorbitan Isostearate, Lactic Acid, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-I, Tocopherol, Citric Acid."
I think One Thing's Moisturizing Lip Essence is a great swap because its packed full of organic oils to boost hydration and ensure glossier lips for longer. It creates a very similar effect on the skin, almost like glazed donut lips.

Finally, we have the Barrier Restore Cream, which Rhode Skin describes as "rich but lightweight", working to "comfort, soothe and restore" the skin. There are many crossover ingredients with the other products in the line, including
The full ingredients list is:
Bubble Tea Steam Cream is an ideal swap because it is famous for its dewy glow and comes packed with antioxidants and vitamins. It even has some of the same signature ingredients, like Niacinamide, Squalane, Sodium Hyaluronate and Vitamin E. Now, there's also a Best of Beauty-Award winning Refill available too.
Get the glazed donut skin in just one step of skincare with Jelly Ko Cherry Blossom Sleeping Mask. Not only does applying it with the mask brush feel like you're glazing an actual donut, your skin will look instantly glossier too.
Thankfully, the results don't end there. When you wake up the next day, you'll notice that the softer, hydrated, plumper skin you were enjoying the night before is here to stay. Touch your skin and you'll feel the difference.
