High quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are PERFECT. They are so comfortable to write with which is almost as important as how they write. They are such high quality - offering a sharp, strong color.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how smooth these pens write, and that there is no smear once you’re done. They have lasted me quite a while with the work I do and they are extremely reliable to work with as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great pens and they are a pretty color. I am partial to gel pens and these give everything they need to give. They are dark and juicy. They DO still smear if you touch it immediately.

Decent but one either jammed or ran out too quickl

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfortable grip. Easy drag on paper. Ink didn’t spread or get on my hand (i am a lefty). However, maybe I got a defunct one because the first pen used ran out of ink. It just stopped working. The second one hasn’t had any issues.
Response from SharpieBy Sharpie® Consumer Care, March 12, 2026
Hello. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Sharpie S-Gel Pen in Ocean Fog.
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the comfortable grip, smooth glide on paper, and that the ink did not smear, especially as a left-handed writer.
We’re sorry to hear that the first pen stopped writing unexpectedly. In some cases, this can happen if air enters the ink chamber or if the ink flow becomes temporarily interrupted, which may cause the pen to stop writing even when ink still appears to be present.
You might try a couple of quick tips that can sometimes help restore ink flow:
- Scribble on a piece of scrap paper for a few seconds to help restart the ink flow.
- Gently wipe the pen tip with a tissue in case there is any dried ink buildup.
- Store the pen tip-down for a short time to help the ink settle toward the tip.
We appreciate you taking the time to share both the positive and negative aspects of your experience. Your feedback helps us continue improving our products.
If you have any more feedback, please reach out to us via our Contact Us form on our website. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time.
Thank you!

my favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love sharpie gel pens. They’re my favorite pen to journal with. They’re comfortable to grip and write with, you don’t have to press hard. The ink does take a minute to dry but that’s typical for gel pens. The color is cute too.
