The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
This sunstick is built around SPF50+ with a PA++++ rating, which is the highest UVA protection grade commonly used on sunscreen labels, so it's aiming to cover both burn causing and aging rays. The stick format applies as a powdery, matte finish, and it's formulated for oily skin with a focus on sebum control rather than added moisture.
At 19 grams, it's sized for a bag or pocket, making it easy to swipe on for a midday touch up without needing to carry a bottle or get your hands messy. The formula isn't water resistant, so it leans more toward everyday wear than beach or pool days.
With 763 ratings averaging 4.3 stars, this is the most reviewed sunscreen in this batch by a wide margin, which gives its rating extra weight compared to newer, less tested options.
Pros
- SPF50+ paired with PA++++, the highest UVA protection grade on the label
- Powdery, matte finish designed for sebum control on oily skin
- Stick format is easy to carry and reapply without needing your hands

Cons

Performance notes
PA++++ specifically measures UVA protection, so pairing it with SPF50 broad spectrum coverage means this stick is built to address both UVB burn causing rays and UVA aging rays. The powdery matte finish is aimed at sebum control, which is why it's positioned for oily and combination skin rather than as a hydrating formula.
What buyers say
With 763 ratings averaging 4.3 stars, this sunstick has by far the largest review base in this group, which makes its consistent rating a meaningfully strong signal rather than an early impression.

Frequently asked questions
What does PA++++ mean?
PA rating measures UVA protection specifically, separate from the SPF number, which measures UVB protection. PA++++ is the highest grade typically listed, so combined with SPF50+, this stick is designed to address both burn causing and aging UV rays.
Is a sunstick easy to reapply over makeup?
Yes, the stick form makes it convenient to swipe on for touch ups without needing to disturb makeup much, which is useful outdoors, at the gym, or while traveling. You may want to gently blend it in with clean fingers for a more even finish.
Is this good for oily skin?
It's formulated specifically for oily skin type with a powdery matte finish meant to help with sebum control. Since it isn't water resistant, reapplying after heavy sweating or a workout is a good habit to keep protection consistent.
