8 Serum Sticks to Swipe Your Way to Better Skin

Hyperpigmentation concerns be gone with Live Tinted SUPERHUE ($34), a water-based solid that includes backuchiol, vitamin C and niacinamide, three powerful dark spot-faders. Made with all skin tones in mind, it’s safe to use and also prevents new spots from forming over time.

Hero Superfuel Serum Stick ($13) is a soothing pick-me-up that also protects the skin’s microbiome. It cools on contact and the prebiotics and antioxidants in its solid, yet somehow gel-like, formulation help skin to stay balanced on the go.

For the person always on the move, Would, a Barstool Sports brand, created a Face Serum ($11) on a stick that brightens and protects the face, hands and anywhere else on the body you want a polished look. Vitamin C works to promote even skin tone while rosehip, sunflower seed oil and blue green algea soothe and hydrate.

Give the delicate skin in the under-eye area an instant concealing effect while also treating dark circles, puffiness and lax skin with Payot’s My Payot Regard Glow ($35) which is a handy 3-in-1 solution to give eyes a more rested and revived look.

Containing a 3% retinol blend, Peace Out Retinol Face Stick ($34) promises smoother skin with each swipe. Because it also has pumpkin and papaya enzymes that work to minimize pores, it retexturizes while being gentle on skin.

A lip balm, a moisturizer, an all-in-one dry skin solution, the plastic-free Ethique Saving Face Serum ($30) is both good for the earth and good for dry, parched skin in need of a boost of hydration. More than a solid butter, its blend of shea, kokum and cupuacu butters, pomegranate and rosehip oils nourish and smooth skin while leaving a carbon positive footprint.

Tatcha never gets it wrong and this innovative serum stick is a sophisticated solid companion to its beloved essences, toners and primers. Twist and apply The Serum Stick ($48)—which contains 80% squalane and Japanese lemon balm—and use it as a spot treatment, pre-foundation primer and for on-the-go skin-blurring.

The serum-on-a-stick formulation makes this Acure Radically Rejuvenating Marula & Rose Serum Stick ($19) a must for fast mornings and dewy skin. Apply to the face and neck each morning and keep it refrigerated for an added cooling, soothing effect.
