What the gurus are saying

This stick applies invisibly with a soft, hydrated silkiness, giving those seeking an undetectable finish exactly what they want. It controls shine and blurs pores without clogging. The stick format makes reapplication throughout the day easy to manage, though getting an even application is trickier than with other formats. For anyone who values grab-and-go convenience, this earns praise as the best option in the stick category.

"At some point, I also tried this Skin1004 stick, which was pretty good."
Yay
"This is the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Stick. Centella when you see that and you probably see that a lot in Korean products, Centella is something that's going to help to calm and soothe the skin. So if you have sensitive skin or you just like, you know, I'm just mad zen. I want my skin to be zen too and calming or whatever, then maybe Centella is for you. So this is $14.30 for 30 g. Again, with the sunscreen stick, they're so easy to carry around. This one has chemical/organic UV filters, but this is a Korean sunscreen, not a Korean-American. This is straight up from the motherland. Korea sunscreen, right? You can use this year round, much like I was saying with the Olay Invisible Sunscreen. You might need to put a moisturizer on first and you know, then you could, you know, use this year round. It has a natural finish. Super easy to carry around like this little, you just slap that in your bag. You could even use it to reapply over your makeup."

"This is the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Stick SPF 50+ PA++++. This leaves you with a velvet matte finish, really silky finish. It applies so easy. It controls the shine and helps almost like blur pores a little bit without clogging them. It's super lightweight. It applies over top of makeup really easy. The blush is still visible if you apply it on top of the makeup. It is infused with Centella and hyaluronic acid to hydrate while also calming any irritation you may have going on. It's totally fragrance-free. It's really gentle, suitable for sensitive even acne-prone skin. The key ingredients are Centella extract, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, turmeric root extract, and mugwort extract."
Yay
"This is actually a really good size, not too small and not too big, with a simple twist mechanism that rolls back down. I like to use sun sticks exclusively for touch-ups rather than as my base sunscreen. I do feel that this isn't the best over makeup, but it's also not the worst. In short, for me this is a good sunstick, a good to great option, though still not my absolute favorite."
Yay
"If you're someone who wants maybe a little bit of moisture and hydration with your sunstick experience, the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Stick is super good. I like it because it truly looks absolutely invisible on your skin but this has a nice soft hydrated silkiness to the skin that I don't find in other ones, which is why I think people with a little bit drier skin would really like this one. It's one of the most popular sunscreens on TikTok, it's really good, a beautiful formula, no white cast, no pastiness, truly invisible on the skin but makes it feel so soft afterwards. It's really lovely."
Yay
"This gives you a glow while giving you hydration and sun protection. I feel like sun sticks are better used as reapplication, it's better to go in with like a base and then reapply. You could use this as your base and then use this to reapply over or under makeup throughout the day, absolutely wonderful. If you're looking for a sun stick, the Hyalu-Cica is one of the best, and they have all this water on their marketing. Unfortunately it's not water resistant or waterproof, which is unfortunate. But these do have a whole bunch of hydrating ingredients including centella from Madagascar. They literally source it ethically and sustainably from Madagascar and put it in these products and it is so good."

"This is kind of the stick version of it. I'm not the biggest fan of sunscreen sticks, I think they're fine but it's quite hard to get an even application. But if you're someone that loves a sunstick for that reapplication during the day that you can just throw in your handbag, I think this is probably the best on the market. Whilst I'm going to keep sticking to the original, I think for as some sticks go this is probably the best. When you apply it, it just feels like the skin drinks it up, hydration is great. They've released the testing on this so you know exactly what you're getting. The finish is so good. It's fragrance free but it doesn't smell too funky, it's just really really nice."
Yay
"Skin1004 is one of my favorite soothing healing type of products. If you're looking for sunscreens in general that don't irritate your skin, I have rosacea prone skin so I'm always on the lookout for a sunscreen that doesn't do that sticky, stingy kind of thing. The sunstick gives you all the kind of hydration that the regular sunscreen gives you with hyaluronic acid and the centella as well, so you get this hydrating calming soothing combination which I absolutely love. But also this sunstick is sweat proof and you can feel that when you're out. My oily skin feels a lot more controlled. If you're oily skinned like me and you find yourself having to reapply more regularly because you're constantly blotting your oily T-zone, this has such good oil control and sweat proof that you know it lasts the recommended time before reapplication. Really really good one if you don't like constantly reapplying sunscreen because it can build up and get greasy."
