Stick sunscreens are a game-changer for reapplying SPF anytime, anywhere—and I’ve tested three of the most popular ones: Abib Airy Sunstick, Abib Quick Sunstick, and Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick.

Here's how each one performs!

Abib Airy Sunstick ($20)

This ultra-light formula glides smoothly and feels barely there on the skin. It’s perfect for touch-ups throughout the day and doesn’t leave a sticky or greasy layer. It hydrates just enough, making it great for normal to dry skin and makeup-friendly too.

Abib Quick Sunstick ($23)

Slightly creamier than the Airy version, this one delivers a silky, moisturizing finish. It's ideal for dry or combination skin types, especially in cooler weather. The glow it leaves behind is natural not oily and it won’t clog pores.

Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick ($18)

This is a go-to for oily or acne-prone skin. With a smooth matte finish and oil-control benefits, it keeps shine in check even on hot, humid days. The mugwort infusion adds a calming touch, making it a skincare multi-tasker.

Each stick provides excellent protection, so it all comes down to the look and feel you prefer. Whether you want dewy hydration or a matte, shine-free base, there’s a sun-stick to match your daily needs!
