It applies thinly and evenly without looking greasy, so it doesn't clump or look unsightly over makeup. The texture is moisturizing with good absorption, and I'm pleased it didn't cause any blemishes. Being a stick type, it seems perfect for light reapplication during forest walks or outdoor activities. According to the official description, it contains V.D booster to help strengthen the skin barrier. Many users mention it feels fresh without leaving any white cast or staining. The scent is pleasant and not overpowering, which I appreciate.
ConsIn seasons when frequent reapplication is necessary, it may run out quickly. At around $30 for 20g, it might be pricey for those prioritizing value for money. If left in direct sunlight or hot environments for too long, the stick may melt and stick to the handle or inside the cap. When used outdoors, fine dust can easily adhere to the stick's surface, potentially introducing impurities. While the fragrance is generally subtle, those sensitive to scents might find it "slightly artificial". To achieve its high SPF 50+/PA++++ protection, it forms a fine film layer, which may feel heavy on oily or acne-prone skin with high sebum production.
TipApply it in the final step of your skincare routine, gently spreading it along your skin texture. Reapply every 2-3 hours during outdoor activities to maintain sun protection. It absorbs cleanly without pilling over makeup, but if your skin feels dry, applying a mist before reapplication can enhance the effect.

The wide application surface and excellent absorption make it easy to cover your entire face with just a few back-and-forth motions. It's also perfect for arms and legs, which is why I used it exclusively all summer long. After application, you can definitely feel that you've applied something, but it doesn't have that 'stuck-on' sensation. It also doesn't feel like it'll easily rub off from hand contact or other external factors. There's a slight rich feeling, but it doesn't leave you looking greasy or shiny. However, I did notice that if I used my phone right after applying, some of the product would transfer to the screen. Still, among all the sunsticks I've tried, this one has the best feel during use. I found myself reaching for it constantly. Especially in summer when you need to protect your arms and legs too, having something that's less messy and easy to apply is absolutely crucial.
ConsThe product seems a bit soft, so it wears down quite quickly. When I was on vacation and reapplying every 2-3 hours, it just melted away. You might end up using one stick per month at this rate.
