I love how this feels when applied - it's not sticky and has a refreshing coolness! The sunstick I used before felt too light and left a residue that pilled on my skin, but this one doesn't do that at all. While the texture isn't super moisturizing, it's fresh without being drying. It's not stiff, so it's easy to apply smoothly. Despite my combination dehydrated skin, it didn't cause any deep dryness or excess oiliness later. I think it would suit most skin types well. The twist-up case is smooth and convenient too. There was absolutely no irritation - even those with sensitive skin could probably use this. It has a light aloe and cucumber scent that I find refreshing, though it might not be for everyone. With its high SPF, it seems perfect for easy summer use! I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a sunstick that isn't too drying.
ConsThe long shape doesn't quite contour to my face, making it tricky to apply broadly on areas like the forehead or cheeks. It applies best vertically, but I think it'll adapt to my face shape with use. Since it goes on clear, it's hard to tell if I'm getting enough sun protection. Also, while it is cooling, the effect isn't as intense as I expected. Other than these points, I didn't find any drawbacks.
TipSince it doesn't feel sticky or heavy, I think it would be great for applying on the neck or body too.

Overall, I really liked it! #Packaging The container twists from the bottom, clicking into place, making it easy to apply and retract the stick. #Application It applies so transparently you can barely tell it's there, gliding on smoothly without any irritation. #Blemishes❌ Burning sensation❌ I have sensitive skin prone to redness, but I didn't experience any blemishes or heat after use. #Feel on skin To be honest, I didn't feel an immediate cooling effect, but I appreciated that there was no burning sensation. I applied the Tocobo sunstick, followed by a light layer of sun powder, and finished with concealer. It maintained a nice level of hydration without any pilling, which was great! I didn't feel any dryness, and my skin felt comfortable throughout the day, so I was satisfied with its soothing effect. #Scent As someone sensitive to strong fragrances, I found nothing bothersome about this product's scent. #Portability That's the beauty of sunsticks! Given how nice it feels and how well it absorbs, it'll be super handy to carry around and quickly apply to areas needing sun protection. I haven't tried it over makeup yet, but I'll update later on whether it causes any pilling when reapplied. Overall, it seems like a gentle product that doesn't feel greasy or heavy, so I find myself reaching for it often. I'm definitely considering repurchasing!
ConsSo far, I haven't found any downsides while using it... Well, maybe the fact that it applies so transparently that it's hard to tell if you're applying enough sunscreen? Personally, I think it's an excellent product as long as it provides good sun protection.
