Skin1004Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Silky-Fit Sun Stick

I've recently become addicted to spf sticks because they're so easy to use. Since the sticks don't offer as much protection as the creams, I apply it under my tinted sunscreen and feel perfectly protected. It doesn't smudge, it glides nicely on the skin, it might not be matte enough for oily skin in the summer, but I think it's one of the best choices in the colder seasons.

I have acne-prone combination skin, I used it twice a day for 1 month, now it's all gone. At first, it will leave a slightly shiny layer on the face (it can be seen on the palm of the hand in the 3rd photo), but it is not heavy/greasy/sticky and the layer became "matte" for me in a few minutes, after 1 month I can see that it does what it needs to do, I don't apply make-up like this I can't comment on how compatible these products are, they are small so they always fit in the bag and can be easily reapplied/practical.

I used it every day in the harsh Balkan sun for 6 days. I was most afraid that my glasses would remain tan on my face but (without them you couldn't see anything). The stick left a light layer on my face that I didn't feel, it wasn't greasy and it didn't stick to anything. In fact, it seems to me that after almost a week of very frequent use, it hardly even faded. I highly recommend it. It's another nice surprise from the brand Skin 1004, from which I already use one cream to soothe the skin.

I have oily skin and I wear some form of makeup every day (at least blush and concealer). During the hottest summer days, when I go home from work, I have no way to apply spf so that my makeup doesn't go bad, so I tried to buy this stick. And wow, I didn't expect that it would hardly affect my makeup at all. It is easy to apply and literally glides on the skin. BUT, it doesn't absorb, I hardly feel it at all. It leaves a kind of protective film on the skin, which reminds me of some kind of silicone layer. And it's hard to apply the stick to, say, my nose or the corners of my nose, so I'm not entirely sure how much it protects me in those areas, for example. I also tried to use it under makeup once and it ended up literally peeling off my face, so it was really bad, I don't recommend applying makeup after using it :D So for me, if you're looking for something to reapply occasionally during a normal day and wear I also give the makeup 20* out of 5, I was really pleasantly surprised by the bar. It probably won't be bad if you don't wear makeup at all, but I found that I can't apply it in such a way that I can be 100% sure that I have everything covered as I should. I would certainly not choose it as the only source of protection during a summer day when I am in the sun most of the day.
