Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

This stick sunscreen struggles with uneven coverage and a greasy, tacky feel that reviewers found disappointing. One expert found it acceptable for body use but not the face, while others felt the hydrating claim fell flat, noting the formula went on white and left skin feeling slick rather than nourished. The stick format itself drew criticism for its patchy application.

"I think it's decent, but I would only use this on my body. I don't want to use this on my face. And even for the body, I still much prefer a mineral-based sunscreen. But for something like this that is really quick and easy to use, I see myself using this a lot on the tops of my hands, my shoulders before I go out for a walk. But if I'm going to be at the beach all day, I'm going to want to use something all over, and I would most likely choose a mineral-based sun cream."

"Another sunscreen fail for me is the Hydra Stick. This is SPF 34. And again, it's more of an application issue. It goes on fairly white and it just is a little bit on the greasy side. Even for my dry skin, this is definitely not a product that I would reach for."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
