Best Stick Face Moisturizers of 2025

"I found this product hydrates well and is convenient to carry, especially in this weather."

"I purchased this for my 11-year-old daughter's blackhead breakouts, and I was surprised by the lack of reduction in their appearance after a week of use."

"This makeup remover stick is fantastic! It's like having a cleansing balm in stick form, making it easy to apply and perfect for travel. Plus, it leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized."

"I'm a huge Kiehl’s fan, and I carry their Facial Cream everywhere. This is like a large chapstick for your face. It rolls on smooth, has no glistening, and moisturizes wonderfully. I absolutely love this product."

"This is fantastic for under-eye hydration and works perfectly before applying makeup. I highly recommend purchasing it!"

"I took this to Hawaii for a family gathering and left it lying around to see what my daughter and daughters-in-law would say. They were immediately drawn to it, saying it was great and unique, but most wouldn't splurge on themselves. That works for me! I still do Christmas stockings, so they'll be receiving one soon. I've used it a few times to moisturize my arms and legs, and while it's probably not meant to replace regular lotion, it has been super convenient. It has a mild scent which is great for sensitive noses, and it hasn't melted in the warm weather."

"I've bought this product multiple times because it leaves my face feeling so smooth and shiny! It definitely looks better than most moisturizers I've tried."

"I initially purchased this thinking it was a bronzing stick, which was my mistake. Unfortunately, it didn't work as a highlighter either; there was no visible color at all. I ended up returning it for a refund."

"I waited a while to write this review, and I am OBSESSED with this product. It's better than any $60 serum you'll find at Ulta or Sephora. Super easy to apply and works great under makeup, leaving my under-eye area brightened and hydrated. I have zero complaints and can finally skip concealer!"

"After about a month of using this retinol eye stick, I noticed my skin looking brighter and smoother. It glides on easily, and I've even used it on my crow's feet. At 72, I appreciate a product that's simple to use and effective. I highly recommend this eye cream stick!"

"I ordered this product without high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. In just a couple of weeks, my under-eye area has improved about 50% in smoothness and moisture. The lines have lessened significantly, and I'm excited about the ongoing results!"

“I absolutely love this balm! It glides on creamily and leaves my dry, aged skin feeling smooth and moisturized. I don’t usually repurchase products, but I’ve bought this seven times and will continue to do so as long as they don’t change anything.”

“I found the scent to be really nice and mainly used it at night since it felt thick and sticky. While it took a bit to absorb, I’m planning to purchase it again because of how pleasant the smell is.”

“I have very dry skin, and this balm is so easy to apply. It gives my face a dewy glow and is very handy to carry around. I just pop off the cap and apply it wherever needed. I absolutely love it!”

“As someone with perpetually dry skin, I’m always on the lookout for effective moisturizers. This All Over Moisturizer Stick has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. The compact size makes it perfect for on-the-go hydration, and the non-greasy formula absorbs quickly into my skin. I particularly love how it imparts a beautiful, dewy glow to my complexion. It’s a must-have for anyone with dry skin!”

“I switched to this less costly oil stick after my previous one went out of stock, and I’m pleasantly surprised! It’s better than what I had been using. I appreciate finding affordable cosmetic products that work effectively. I would definitely recommend it.”

“I love this multi-tasker beauty product that I keep in various places like my car and purse. I use it to moisturize my face, hands, and hair. It’s perfect for taming flyaways and gives my cheeks an extra glow throughout the day. I can’t imagine living without it!”

“This will be a forever buy for me. It feels amazing on my skin, and I have a super-sensitive face, but I’ve had no problems with this at all. It gives my face a lovely shine and is very hydrating for hours. The slight rose scent is delightful, although I think I might go through it quickly since it's a balm. Still, the price is definitely worth it. I absolutely love it!”

“I've switched from my usual Tatcha serum stick to this Derol balm stick. It's silkier and absorbs better, with less sheen compared to Tatcha. I love how easy it is to apply for invisible hydration, and the ingredients are just wonderful. I carry one in my handbag for quick touch-ups and keep another at home. It's much gentler and more economical than Tatcha, which often irritated my fair, sensitive skin. The Derol balm stick has caused me no irritation whatsoever.”

“I usually buy a different brand, but I decided to give this one a try due to its lower price. Unfortunately, it caused a severe breakout on my sensitive skin that took weeks to recover from. I think I’ll stick with what I know works for me from now on.”

"I absolutely love this stick SPF! It has a cooling and moisturizing effect without feeling heavy or leaving any white streaks. It applies super smooth under my makeup, and honestly, a little goes a long way."

"This product is incredible! I can't believe I ever used anything else. I adore Coola products and found this on a must-have list for summer sunscreens. It has 70%+ certified organic ingredients and provides broad spectrum SPF 50 protection. Plus, it's fragrance-free and packed with hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and organic Aloe. I loved it so much that I bought three more and one for my Dad!"

"I really like this SPF stick. It glides on nicely without any tugging, and I enjoy the coconut-like scent. While I wish they had a fragrance-free version, I'm okay with this one and love having it in my purse for on-the-go use. It goes on clear for me, even with my fair olive complexion, and it holds up well in my bag even in the heat!"

"I apply this product on the lines beside my nose and down to my lips, and I've noticed that the lines are less pronounced. I'm going to keep using it and highly recommend it. It smells nice and is very moisturizing!"

"This is my second time purchasing this product. I initially found it at Marshalls, but then bought it on Amazon. Overall, it's very nice and gives my skin a lovely glow. However, applying it all over my face makes me look a bit greasy, so I just use a little on my t-zones and then spread it with my hands. It has a scent, but I find it quite pleasant. Just be careful not to overdo it to avoid clogged pores."

"I got this as a gift and liked it so much that I bought two more. However, when I opened the new sticks months later, I noticed a rancid oil scent. The first stick had a soft floral scent. The product itself is gentle, moisturizing, and worked wonders for my dry skin after starting retinol. I would recommend it, but make sure to check for freshness."

"The Tony Moly 24k Snail Moisturelock Slug Stick has become a staple in my morning skincare routine! It effectively locks in hydration between my moisturizer and sunscreen, which is essential for my skin in the Arizona desert. I’ve seen a significant improvement in my skin texture, and it keeps my skin feeling moisturized and supple throughout the day. The stick format is convenient and mess-free, making application quick and easy. I’ve repurchased this product multiple times; it’s worth every penny!"

"I’m a fan of many TONYMOLY products and was excited to try their snail mucin line. I use it nightly, and it truly works wonders. It keeps my skin soft and hydrated!"

"I love using snail mucin but found many masks to be goopy and messy, making them time-consuming. This product is fantastic for a quick swipe, and I’ve already repurchased it. I’d give 10 stars if I could!"
