"But if you're looking for something with a dewy finish that makes your skin feel a little more hydrated, I think this would be one to use. As far as applying sunscreen sticks in general, you want to make sure that you're going over each area at least four times to get that adequate protection. Overall, I feel like this is a fine product to have on hand, mostly for reapplication. I definitely do not recommend using sunscreen sticks in general [...] as your first layer of sunscreen of the day."

"I think this is a great one that can be utilized by everyone, even if you have oily skin you might enjoy just that finish it has. I don't think it's going to make you look super shiny. I do love the fact that this is like a teardrop shape so you can grab onto it firmly. This is fragrance and essential oil free so suitable for sensitive skin. If you have more normal skin, maybe normal dry skin, I think this would be a great one for you to use."

"The Isntree Hyaluronic Acid sunstick, which I've also reviewed before, is really great especially for summertime because it is matte, it's oil absorbing, and it goes on totally clear."

"My final product, my absolute favorite sunstick. A lot of the other sunscreens ranked lower because I said there was a little bit too much shine, but I feel like it might be that exact property that's making this my favorite sunstick. As somebody with dry skin I do not like sunsticks that tug, [...] and I need them to glide really well because I wear makeup and often apply my sunstick on top of it."

"As somebody who already has dry skin, if I'm wearing makeup, the last thing I want is a sunscreen stick that tugs on my skin, [...] and too many of them tug. This one has excellent glidey properties, [...] and the shape of it is perfect for getting all around my eye area and my nose area, an ideal shape for me personally, combined with the ability to glide well and to not be too over the top in shine. [...] All of that makes this a long running favorite for me."

"This is the Isntree Hyaluronic Sunstick, I love this one, it is my absolute favorite sunstick. It glides so nicely over makeup, and that's the way I like to use a sunstick, to [...] touch up my sunscreen [...] in a very convenient way that I find does not disturb my makeup. I also love the design, it makes it really nice to get around your nose and around your eyes. This is fragrance and alcohol free, and it is made with the next generation of chemical filters."

"This is more of like a reapplication sunscreen but you can apply this over makeup, under makeup. It feels so lightweight on skin and literally whatever the texture of the moisturizer or the thing you have on underneath it just maintains that throughout the day. This is one of the top selling sunscreens that I've heard of from Korea and it's so good. [...] It works for dry, for oily, for basically any skin. It almost feels like a deodorant, kind of feels like that in a nice way."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.
