It’s been about a month now since I started using this sun stick every single day, so I wanted to share some deeper thoughts. After the first week, I was cautiously optimistic, and now, four weeks in, I have a clearer picture of how this product really performs on my skin.
First off, the convenience factor is still huge for me. The stick format makes reapplying sunscreen during the day so much easier than liquid or cream versions. I toss it in my bag, and I can quickly swipe it on even when I’m outside or at work. The texture remains silky and light, never feeling heavy or greasy, which is a major win for daily wear.
Now, about the skin effects. The initial dryness around my nose has mostly disappeared. I think my skin adjusted a bit, or maybe I started layering better with my moisturizer. The centella and hyaluronic acid really do help keep the skin barrier calm and hydrated, which is something I appreciate, especially since I have sensitive and combination skin that can freak out with harsher sunscreens.
However, I did notice some minor issues that I didn’t expect. Around week two, I started seeing a couple of small, annoying breakouts along my jawline and chin. I’m not sure if it’s from the sun stick itself or maybe from using other products alongside it, but my suspicion leans towards the sunscreen. The formula has a fair amount of silicones and some chemical filters, which can sometimes clog pores or irritate sensitive spots.
The breakouts weren’t severe, just a few stubborn spots that took longer than usual to heal. I tried being extra careful with my skincare routine, double cleansing at night, and using non-comedogenic products, but the bumps lingered longer than I liked.
On the plus side, the sun protection feels solid. I didn’t get any sunburn or redness even after spending a couple of hours outdoors. The product claims SPF 50+, and it seems to live up to that. Also, no white cast continues to be a big plus — it blends seamlessly into my medium skin tone, making it easy to use without worrying about looking ghostly or patchy.
The scentless formula remains a relief. Many sunscreens smell like chemicals or have added fragrances that can irritate skin or clash with other products. This one stays neutral, which I appreciate a lot.
Overall, after four weeks, I’m on the fence. The product is great for everyday use if you want something easy to apply, lightweight, and generally calming. But if you’re acne-prone or sensitive to silicones and chemical filters, it might cause some minor breakouts. I personally would keep using it but maybe not as my sole sunscreen if my skin flares up.
I think this sun stick is a good option for people who prioritize convenience and hydration with mild protection needs, but if you have very reactive skin or a history of clogged pores, proceed with caution.
Will be updating again at week nine with how my skin settles or if any long-term changes happen.
