The Rhode Obsession: Why the Peptide Lip Tint is Everywhere
If you have been scrolling through TikTok or Instagram lately, you have definitely seen it. Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Skin Peptide Lip Tint has become the ultimate status symbol for the "clean girl" aesthetic. It’s not just a lip gloss; it is a treatment that actually repairs your lips while giving you that high-shine, sheer color that looks good on literally everyone.

By early 2026, the hype has only intensified. From the viral phone cases that hold your lip tint to the limited-edition shades like 'Toast' and 'Espresso,' Rhode has mastered the art of FOMO. The problem? Even though it feels like every influencer in Hong Kong and Singapore has one, the official Rhode store still hasn't opened up direct shipping to Malaysia.
The Malaysia Shipping Hurdle: Why You Need a Proxy
It is frustrating, I know. You try to check out on the Rhode website, and "Malaysia" just isn't in the dropdown menu. This is where a proxy shopping service or a package forwarder becomes your best friend. Instead of waiting for a local reseller to charge you double the price, you can buy it directly from the source in the US.
To do this, you need a US-based address. I personally recommend using comGateway because they provide you with a tax-free US address. This means you won't pay US sales tax on your Rhode order, which saves you a few extra Ringgits right off the bat.
The Speed Run: How to Buy from Rhode Skin USA
If you want your package arriving at your door in record time, follow this step-by-step guide:
- Step 1: Sign up for a comGateway account to get your personalized US shipping address.
- Step 2: Head to the Rhode Skin official website and add those Peptide Lip Tints to your cart.
- Step 3: At checkout, use your US address as the shipping address.
- Step 4: Once Rhode ships your items to the warehouse, you will be notified. This is when you can choose your fastest shipping method to Malaysia.
Pro tip: If you're worried about costs, use a shipping calculator to see exactly what the international leg will cost you before you commit.
Shipping Estimates for Malaysia
Since the Peptide Lip Tint is a lightweight beauty product, it is actually one of the most cost-effective things to ship internationally. Here is what you should expect for a typical 2026 shipment:
| Metric | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs) for 2-3 tints plus packaging. |
| Box Dimensions | Small (Typically a padded mailer or a small 6x4x4 inch box). |
| Volumetric Warning | Low. These items are dense and small, so you won't be penalized for "empty space" in a large box. |
| Battery Check | No batteries. This makes shipping much faster and easier! |

Customs, Duties, and Import Tips for 2026
When bringing goods into Malaysia, you need to be aware of the import duties and Sales and Service Tax (SST). As of 2026, Malaysia generally allows a de minimis value (threshold) for tax-free imports, but this can change. If your total haul (including shipping) exceeds the current limit, you might be asked to pay an import tax upon arrival.
To avoid any surprises at the border, read up on the latest GST/VAT and customs tax regulations. It is always better to know the costs upfront than to have your package held by customs for an unpaid bill.
Final Verdict: Is the Shortcut Worth It?
Absolutely. The Rhode Peptide Lip Tint lives up to the hype—it is moisturizing, not sticky, and the tints are perfectly pigmented for Asian skin tones. While waiting for a local launch might take forever, using a freight forwarder allows you to join the trend while it's still fresh in 2026.
If you're buying one, you might as well buy three to make the shipping cost per item more economical. Happy shopping, and enjoy that Hailey Bieber glow!
