Lets be real: Any beauty product that drenches our skin in additional moisture this time of year is welcome at the table. Even better if we can throw it in our bag for a midday touch-up. Skin-care sticks—aka a compact serum in bullet-style packaging—are basically made for on-the-go hydration, which is why we keep a few within arms reach at all times. Eyes looking puffy and lackluster by noon? Swipe on a caffeine-and-antioxidant-packed version. Forgot to put on your requisite layer of SPF this morning? There’s a stick version that also contains a blend of oils for added hydration, plus a killer highlight.

Discover our eight favorite skin-care sticks for winter below—it truly couldn’t be easier to give your skin the protection it needs right now.
