Unlike some other sun sticks that can feel stiff, this one glided on smoothly without any resistance! The scent was delightfully fresh. While I'm not usually sensitive to fragrances, I think even those who are could use this comfortably. It's hard to describe, but it's like a mix of zesty fruit with a hint of butter... Its compact size makes it super portable. It fit perfectly in my pocket when I needed to reapply during outdoor PE classes. It's just slightly larger than my palm. The white cast wasn't too noticeable (at least for me). It's there, but not enough to be bothersome. The teardrop shape of the stick is genius! It allows you to easily apply sunscreen to tricky areas like around the nose. I used the wider part for cheeks and forehead, and the pointed tip for contoured areas. Most other products are rectangular, so this shape is a real plus. And of course, it provided excellent sun protection!
ConsThe one really disappointing aspect... it applies quite greasy. As someone who sweats a lot, just one lap around the track and my face becomes an oil slick. My hair sticks to my skin, and touching my face feels slippery - not pleasant at all. If you have dry skin and don't sweat much, you might be fine with this. Other than that, I had no complaints!
TipIf you have oily skin or sweat a lot, try gently patting your face with a tissue after applying - it helps reduce the greasy feeling! When using a sun stick, make sure to apply it thoroughly! Cover every inch, right down to your jawline, to ensure you're getting full sun protection.

Absorbs well Unlike other sunstick products that can be too stiff and irritate the skin when applying, this one glides on smoothly from the start, causing less irritation. For curved areas or tricky spots like the inner corners of the eyes that are hard to cover with a wide surface, you can use the pointed tip as shown in the photo for easy application. 2. Portability While sunsticks are generally great for carrying around, this one is even more compact, making it even more portable. The container's color and design are also cute and appealing. 3. Scent Although it's a bit disappointing that fragrance is added, the scent is very subtle and pleasant. After applying it to your face, the scent becomes barely noticeable, so even those sensitive to fragrances might be able to use it. 4. Feel on skin Firstly, it's not sticky at all. Stickiness is the most important factor for me when choosing sun care products. After all, you have to wear it on your face all day, and having hair stick to your face or feeling tacky is quite unpleasant. This product isn't sticky, and after applying it, you barely feel like you're wearing sunscreen. It doesn't feel heavy on the skin and has a light texture. 5. Ingredients Despite having one fragrance ingredient out of 20 caution ingredients and containing stearic acid, the overall ingredient list is quite impressive. Personally, I tend to apply a lot of sunscreen around my mouth due to hyperpigmentation, which means I often end up ingesting some. With this ingredient profile, I feel I can use it with peace of mind. 6. Price Considering how expensive some sun care products are these days, this one offers excellent value for money. The price of 14,000 won isn't too high for a sunstick, and they often have a 1+1 promotion where you can get a sunstick plus a pink sunscreen, making it an even better deal!
Cons1. Slightly oily feel While it absorbs well and isn't sticky, it's not a matte, powdery type. It's hard to call it oily, but there's a very slight feeling of solid oil lingering. This might be a drawback for those with oily, sensitive skin, but could be an advantage for those with dry skin as it's less drying. 2. Amount Although you might think it would last longer than sunscreen cream since you use less product, it actually runs out much faster than expected. It absorbs better than other sunsticks, but that means it also gets used up more quickly. 3. White cast One of the advantages of sunsticks is that you can easily apply them when you're out without getting your hands messy. However, this one does leave a white cast, so those who use a lot of sunscreen might end up looking ghostly pink. Keep in mind that it starts with a slight tone-up effect, but the white cast becomes more noticeable the more you apply. 4. Blemishes I use many sun protection products, and while I don't notice this with other products, this one sometimes causes pimples to appear. I felt like blemishes tended to pop up more when I used a larger amount of the product.
TipBuy it when there's a 1+1 promotion!
