Best Stick Face Moisturizers of 2026

"I brought this balm stick on a work trip covering both dry and humid climates, and by the third day, I was so impressed I ordered a backup. It immediately soothes dry, tight skin, prevents makeup from clinging to dry patches, and the stick format is perfect for travel—no spills, no mess. I use it everywhere—on cheeks, cuticles, and even over lipstick. It never broke me out, even with nightly use over retinol, and leaves a soft, satin finish. For the price, it easily replaces multiple products in my routine and keeps my skin looking healthy and fresh on the go."

"As someone with extremely dry skin, this balm is a lifesaver. It delivers long-lasting moisture, keeps my skin soft and smooth, and I only need to apply it once a day. The compact stick makes it super convenient for travel, and I never have to worry about leaks or mess. My face feels comfortable and moisturized all day, and it's completely scent-free. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with dryness."

"This stuff is truly incredible! It instantly hydrates, smooths, and brightens my skin—almost like a magic eraser for wrinkles and dryness. The stick is easy to use, and while it can feel a bit sticky at first, that sensation vanishes quickly, leaving my face silky soft. It even makes pores less visible and softens fine lines around my eyes and mouth. I loved it so much, I bought a second one for my bag!"

"I absolutely love how easy this stick is to use—it just glides on and absorbs well. I appreciate that it's creamy, odorless, and not greasy, making it perfect for my face and especially dry areas. It's also so convenient for travel."

"I bought this mainly to help my son's eczema and my own psoriasis patch. Within a few days, my skin felt smoother and less irritated. The unscented formula is gentle on sensitive skin, and the chapstick-like applicator is quick and simple. It's a bit pricier than I’d like, but I keep it handy for flare-ups."

"The texture is a little thick, so sometimes I notice a slightly greasy feeling that doesn't fully absorb. However, it's fantastic for keeping my heels soft overnight, and the packaging is really convenient."

"I keep this balm in my purse because it's so quick and convenient for hydration. I love how it gives my skin a soft, radiant glow without feeling sticky—especially on dull winter days. It smooths my skin beautifully, and I’d definitely recommend it!"

"I usually struggle with dry, irritated skin, especially in winter. When that happens, I turn to this balm because it instantly soothes and moisturizes my skin. It does feel a bit oily, so I don’t use it every day, but when I need relief, it’s my absolute favorite."

"If you want a product that acts like a mix between skincare and makeup, this is it. I use it for a natural luminous look—even my coworker noticed the glow! It’s easy to apply, keeps my skin soft, and lasts a long time. I’m already on my second stick."

"I absolutely love how soft this product makes my skin feel. The scent is lovely, and the stick form is so convenient—I can use it anytime without worrying about greasy hands. It keeps my skin moisturized for hours, and even after frequent use, it looks barely used!"

"This product has become a staple in my nightly routine. I keep it by my bed, and it's so easy to swipe on just where I need it. The gel texture is smooth and smells amazing. At 57, I can't imagine being without it!"

"As an aesthetician, I try many products, but this one stands out for its quality and price. It's easily one of the best I've used, and I will definitely be purchasing again."

"I'm on my second tube and I absolutely love how moisturizing this is—my dry and combination skin feels amazing. A little goes a long way, and it even works as a lip balm. There's no heavy scent, and it absorbs beautifully, keeping me hydrated all day."

"I mainly bought this for my dry facial areas, but the scent was a bit too strong for me to use on my face. Instead, I've started applying it to my cuticles and the tops of my hands, and it works wonders there—super hydrating!"

"This stick is really handy to keep in my bag for touch-ups. I like to use it under my eyes, on my lips, or anywhere I need a quick boost of moisture and glow. Just don't use too much or it can get a bit greasy, but overall, it's a great product for dry skin."

"After using this, I've noticed a real improvement in my deep forehead and neck wrinkles. My skin feels so much smoother and has a healthy glow. I do find it sits on my skin for a while, so I prefer not to use it at night since it can rub off on my pillow, but it's worth it because it truly works without causing any irritation."

"A few weeks with this product and I've seen the fine lines around my eyes soften and fade. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to age gracefully without injections."

"Initially, the product leaves an oily look, but with continued massage, that goes away. I even use it on my lips as a chapstick. After just a week, the texture on my sunburned cheek has evened out and is almost smooth. I think it's great for skin texture, but maybe not ideal for those who are acne-prone."

"I appreciate the moisturizing quality and very subtle scent of this balm. As someone who is sensitive to fragrances, this product doesn't irritate me. It keeps my skin feeling hydrated without being sticky or heavy—just the right balance for my needs!"

"This balm is perfect for travel; it's tiny, lightweight, and fits in the smallest bag. I love that it's a non-liquid option for flights, and it goes on smoothly without feeling greasy. The price is great too. My only hesitation is that it uses mineral oil as the main ingredient, which isn't my favorite, but the convenience makes it a keeper for trips."

"This product has become my go-to for under-eye care. It really helps reduce my wrinkles and gives me a natural, healthy glow without feeling greasy. I definitely recommend it!"

"I've tried many sunscreens, but this one is a game changer for me. It feels incredibly light, moisturizes without being greasy, and offers strong SPF 50 protection. I love how I barely notice it on my skin, even with daily use. I've bought several for myself and my family because it's so convenient and worth every penny."

"What stands out most for me is how cool and refreshing this stick feels on hot days. The application is a breeze, and I always reach for it when I'm out in the sun. It's my absolute favorite for keeping my face protected."

"This sunscreen stick is perfect for on-the-go touch-ups, especially when I'm active outdoors. I love the cooling effect, though I do notice a slight white cast sometimes. Still, I'm happy with the protection it provides and keep it in my bag all summer."

"I noticed my skin became much softer and the product keeps my face moisturized overnight. Plus, it's a great value compared to other brands."

"I switched to this after my old brand got expensive, and I’m impressed! It’s easy to use, makes my skin feel hydrated, and it actually cleans out my pores and removes blackheads—even though it goes on smoothly and doesn’t feel gritty."

"This is a great dupe for the Tula stick at a much better price. It removes all my makeup, even waterproof, and leaves my skin creamy and moisturized after each use."

"I switched from the Tatcha serum stick to this balm and honestly, the silkiness and gentle hydration are unbeatable. My sensitive skin never gets irritated, and I love that it’s so easy to use on the go. Plus, the price is much better than other brands."

"For me, this is the richest moisturizer I’ve tried—it locks in all my serums without being greasy. I use it around my eyes, under makeup, and before sunscreen, and it always leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth."

"I like how smoothly it glides on and how instantly it hydrates. It’s not sticky or greasy at all, and I apply it before makeup or bed. Really convenient and effective for my routine."
