Does the stick type sunscreen absorb well too?

I have several stick-type sunscreens that I received as gifts.

I am still using it.

It is difficult to immediately feel whether sunscreen is effective, so

It is difficult to judge accurately.

For some reason, I feel like the cream absorbs well and shows good results.

I was worried that the stick type might not sit well on the surface.

Should I choose based solely on the SF index, regardless of the shape?
