Performance notes

The PA+++ rating alongside SPF 50+ points to strong protection against UVA rays in addition to the UVB coverage that SPF measures, which is a helpful combination for all day wear. Being water resistant also means it should hold up reasonably well through light sweat or humidity, though reapplication after heavy water exposure is still a good habit.

What buyers say

A 4.5 star average from more than 2,100 ratings, along with steady recent monthly purchases, shows this stick has become a trusted go to for shoppers who want an easy, high SPF option they do not have to think twice about.

Frequently asked questions

What does the PA+++ rating mean?

PA+++ is a Korean and Japanese sun protection rating that measures UVA defense, while SPF measures UVB defense. A product with both a high SPF and a PA+++ rating, like this one, is built to guard against a broad range of sun damage.

Is a stick sunscreen easy to apply evenly?

Stick sunscreens take a bit more attention than lotions to make sure you cover every area, since you are swiping solid product directly onto skin. Going over the face in a few passes and rubbing it in with clean fingers helps even out coverage.

Can this go on over makeup?

Stick formats like this one are often used for touch ups over makeup since there is no liquid to disturb your base. A light, even swipe followed by gentle blending works better than pressing hard in one spot.
