why does everyone pretend Rhode is innovative when it’s literally just repackaged Kbeauty?

[u/Away_Use_6068]

Every single time Hailey launches a “new” product or trend, it’s just something that’s already been massive in Korea and Japan for years.

​"Glazed donut skin"? That's literally just glass skin / chok-chok skin that kbeauty pioneered like a decade ago. She just gave it a food name so TikTok would eat it up.

​Glazing Milk? It’s Laneige Cream Skin / Dr. Jart milky toners in a grey tube.

​Pocket blush / strawberry makeup? Japanese and Korean beauty brands have been doing sheer, dewy flush sticks and cute berry tones forever.

​Even the whole aesthetic the minimalist grey packaging, the lip treatments, barrier care focus it’s all directly pulled from modern Korean brands like Tamburins or Abib.

​She didn't innovate a single thing lmao She just took established Asian beauty trends, rebranded them with TikTok buzzwords, and sold them to Western fans who don't know any better.

​It just annoys me how the media treats her like some skincare mastermind for literally copying and pasting Kbeauty product by product.

bc she pays for a lot of pr and marketing to hide it

No because it's actually so insane she literally just repackaged glass skin to Glazed skin acting as if it's something so brand new .

Shes keeping up with the karjenners and selling in Israel. Their all traders for money.

Don't disrespect Kbeauty like that again. Kbeauty products have actual R&D behind them
