The 2026 Rhode Skin craze in Hong Kong

It is now February 2026, and the obsession with Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Skin Peptide Lip Tint has not wavered. While the brand has expanded its global reach, Hong Kong beauty enthusiasts still find themselves staring at "Out of Stock" signs or limited shade ranges at local boutiques. Viral shades like 'Espresso' and 'Toast' remain notoriously difficult to find in the city, often leading shoppers to turn to overpriced third-party sellers.

The appeal of the Peptide Lip Tint lies in its formula—a hybrid of restorative lip care and high-gloss pigment. However, the scarcity in the local market means that getting your hands on the full 2026 collection requires looking toward the original source: the United States.

The price gap between US stores and local resellers

Hong Kong resellers often add a 50% to 100% markup on Rhode products, justifying the cost with shipping and handling fees. By using a freight forwarder like comGateway, you can access the actual retail price of $16 USD. Even after adding shipping costs, buying multiple tints or the full collection directly from the US is significantly more cost-effective than buying from a local middleman.

Shipping Estimates: What to expect

To help you plan your haul, here is a breakdown of the logistics involved in shipping these beauty essentials. You can also use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost for larger orders.

Metric Details
Box Weight Approx. 0.2 kg to 0.5 kg (depending on quantity)
Box Dimensions Small (typically a padded mailer or a small cardboard box)
Volumetric Warning None. This item is dense and small, so volumetric weight is rarely an issue.
Battery Check Contains no lithium batteries. Standard shipping rules apply.

Because the lip tints are lightweight, it is often smarter to bundle them with other US purchases to maximize your international shipping value.

How to bypass US store blocks with BuyForMe

One of the biggest hurdles when you shop us store websites is payment. Many US beauty brands and retailers are known to block international credit cards or cancel orders that use a known package forwarding address. This can be frustrating when you are trying to secure a limited-edition drop.

This is where the "BuyForMe" service becomes essential. Instead of risking a cancelled transaction, comGateway’s team uses a US-based domestic credit card to purchase the items on your behalf. This ensures your order is processed just like any other US customer’s. Using this service is the most reliable way to guarantee your Rhode Skin haul actually makes it to your tax-free us address without administrative headaches.

Import rules and taxes for Hong Kong shoppers

One of the best parts about being a shopper in Hong Kong is the favorable import tax environment. Unlike many other regions, Hong Kong does not impose a general GST/VAT on imported personal goods. This means that when you forward packages from the US, you generally do not have to worry about additional customs tax hitting your wallet upon arrival.

The logistics of getting Rhode to your door

Getting your products delivered involves a few simple steps. First, you need to sign up for a parcel forwarding service to get your dedicated US suite address. Once you have your address, you can shop at Rhode’s official store or other authorized US retailers. If the store rejects your payment, simply switch to the BuyForMe service.

Once your items arrive at the warehouse, you can choose your preferred international shipping service. Whether you want the fastest express delivery or a more budget-friendly option, a reliable freight forwarder like comGateway provides the flexibility you need. By choosing to shop us ship international, you are no longer limited by the stock levels of Hong Kong’s local resellers. You get the shades you want, at the prices they were meant to be sold for, delivered straight to your home in 2026.
