What is SKIN1004 Centella Hyalu-Cica Silky-Fit Sun Stick?
The SKIN1004 Centella Hyalu-Cica Silky-Fit Sun Stick is a face sunscreen in a slim, solid, 7g twist-up tube. It offers SPF50+ PA++++ protection, which covers burning UVB rays and the UVA rays linked to tanning, dark spots and early lines. Instead of squeezing lotion into your palm, you glide the stick straight onto your skin, so your hands stay clean.
SKIN1004 builds the formula around its signature Madagascar centella asiatica, joined by hyaluronic acid. The result is a stick that feels silky rather than waxy and sits comfortably on oily and combination skin. Explore the full SKIN1004 range for the rest of the centella family.
Why a stick format?
The biggest gap in most sunscreen routines is reapplication. A stick fits in a handbag, a pocket or a school bag, and you can use it in the car or at your desk without a mirror or a sink. That makes it far more likely you will actually top up at lunchtime.
SKIN1004 Centella Hyalu-Cica Silky-Fit Sun Stick benefits: what it does for your skin
High, broad-spectrum protection
SPF50+ and PA++++ are the highest ratings on the Korean labelling scale. Used correctly and every day, this level of protection helps prevent sunburn, new pigmentation and the slow, sun-driven loss of firmness.
Easy top-ups over makeup
Because it is solid, the stick can be pressed over foundation, concealer or powder without turning your base patchy. This is its main advantage over lotion sunscreens for anyone who wears makeup to work or university.
Comfort for oily and sensitive skin
The silky finish keeps the T-zone from looking slick, and centella brings a calming touch. Read more about the ingredient in our centella guide.

The full ingredient list is printed on the pack. If you know your skin reacts to particular UV filters, check it before buying.
Is it good for your skin type?
Oily and combination skin
This is where the stick shines. The silky, dry-touch feel means no extra greasy layer at midday, which is a relief in hot cities like Karachi and Multan.
Sensitive and acne-prone skin
The centella base makes it a gentle choice for many sensitive skin types. If you are acne-prone, pair it with a good evening cleanse; see our acne and blemishes edit for more support.
Patch-test before full use
Sunscreen reactions are personal. Apply a small amount along the jawline and wait 24 hours before using the stick on your whole face.
Dry skin
Dry skin can use it for top-ups, but a creamier sunscreen will feel better as the main morning layer.
How to use SKIN1004 Centella Hyalu-Cica Silky-Fit Sun Stick (morning and night)
Morning
- Finish your usual skincare: cleanser, serum and moisturiser.
- Apply your main sunscreen, such as the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Tone-Up Sunscreen, or use the stick on its own.
- If the stick is your only sunscreen, glide it over the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin three or four times each so the layer is even.
- Don't forget the ears, the back of the neck and the hairline.
Through the day
Top up every two hours when you are outdoors, after sweating, or after wiping your face. Over makeup, use short, gentle strokes and finish by patting lightly with a fingertip.
At night
The stick is a morning product, but it should come off at night. A first cleanse with the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil followed by the Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam removes sunscreen and makeup without leaving skin tight. Finish with the Madagascar Centella Ampoule for calm skin by morning.
SKIN1004 Centella Hyalu-Cica Silky-Fit Sun Stick results: how long until you see a difference?
Protection begins as soon as the stick is applied evenly. The visible rewards of daily sunscreen show up more slowly: over several weeks, fewer new dark spots and less sun-related redness; over months, a more even tone and smoother texture. Sunscreen also protects any brightening or acne treatments you use, so they can work properly.
Does SKIN1004 Centella Hyalu-Cica Silky-Fit Sun Stick have side effects?
Most people use it without trouble. Possible issues include mild stinging near the eyes, a reaction to a UV filter, or clogged pores if it is not cleansed off properly at night. Keep it away from the eye area, stop if you notice redness or itching, and remember it is not designed to be water-resistant.
Sun stick or lotion sunscreen: which should you choose?
A lotion or fluid spreads more easily and makes it simpler to apply enough in one go, which is why many dermatologists like it for the first morning layer. Our sunscreen collection includes fluids like the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-fresh, the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Niacinamide and the La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 fluid.
A stick wins for touch-ups and travel. If you prefer a mattifying stick in a larger size, the Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick is another option, while the SKIN1004 stick keeps a softer, silkier feel.
How much sun stick is enough?
This is the question that matters most with any stick sunscreen. SPF numbers are measured with a generous layer, and a single quick swipe puts down only a fraction of that. To get close to the protection on the label, move slowly and pass over each zone three or four times, overlapping slightly as you go. Your skin should feel evenly coated, with no bare patches along the nose, under the eyes or near the hairline.
A simple habit helps: count your passes on the forehead, each cheek, the nose and the chin, then finish with the ears and the back of the neck. On very sunny days, apply a lotion sunscreen first and treat the stick as your reapplication tool.
Sun stick tips for Pakistan's long summers
- Keep the stick in a shaded pocket of your bag, not on a car dashboard, so it stays firm.
- Blot sweat with a tissue before topping up, so the new layer grips the skin.
- Wipe the surface of the stick now and then with a clean tissue to keep it hygienic.
- UVA passes through windows, so top up even on office or classroom days near glass.
- Use it on the backs of hands and the tops of ears, which are easy to forget.

Original vs fake SKIN1004 Centella Hyalu-Cica Silky-Fit Sun Stick: how to check
Sunscreen is the last product you want to gamble on, because a copy may not deliver the protection on the label. When your stick arrives, check that the printing is sharp and centred, the cap fits snugly, and batch and expiry codes are clearly stamped. The stick itself should be smooth and uniform, with no cracks, sweating or sour smell.
