Summer Fridays earns strong reviews for delivering hydrating, glow-giving staples—especially the viral Lip Butter Balm and Jet Lag Mask—which many say keep lips plush for hours and revive dry, travel-worn skin. Reviews also flag meaningful drawbacks: several users report irritation or breakouts (including reactions to Jet Lag and eye formulas), divisive scents and stickiness in some lip shades, very sheer base products, and packaging gripes, making the brand feel overhyped or not worth it for some.

  • OK this works. I've been using it as a night time moisturizer and recently used it while traveling a long haul 12+ hour flight. It makes my skin feel rich and hydrated, kind of like an espresso shot boost!

  • I have used their Shade Drops mineral sunscreens and the lip butter balm. I really like both of these, I love the lip butter balm - the tint is nice and sheer but buildable. I normally do not reach for mineral sunscreens, but Shade Drops is one of the nicest I've tried - it's pretty lightweight and the tint is nice for evening my skin when I want a little coverage but don't want to wear make up or anything heavy (that said, I am very pale and it's almost certainly going to leave a whitecast on anyone with a tan or darker skin tone).

  • Yet to find my favorite product in this brand. The lip balms are okay. So far, my favorite flavor is peppermint. Something about the other flavors just ends up drying out my lips. (I have a theory it’s the vanilla scent).

  • A little pricey but I love their jetlag and tumeric mask for additional hydration and care day to day.

  • The Shadedrops are one of my favorite products in my collection. My skin is protected and dewy at the same time - how could you not love that? Pro tip- make sure you actually shake the product before you use it.

  • LOVE the jet lag mask! I use it as my nighttime moisturizer. I really like the size of the travel size for travel but I recently splurged on the jumbo during the Sephora sale. I tried the lip balms in store to see what the hype is and they're fine but I feel like they're a little too sticky? The flavors also aren't for me. It's not my fave lip balm but I don't hate it. If they sold them in mini sizes individually I would probably get!

  • I love the lip butter balms and the jet lag mask. The vanilla beige lip butter balm is a great neutral. The cherry red lip butter balm is THE BEST. Just enough color to look like that "melted popsicle" look (that most brands try to achieve but end up being too red). Took away a star because they had a blush balm stick that I loved and it's mysteriously disappeared from the face of the earth.

  • I love their lip balms. So moisturizing . Not to mention aesthetically pleasing.

  • The Summer Fridays jet lag mask is my holy grail product. I notice a big difference in the texture of my skin when I don't use it versus when I do, so I try to make a habit of applying it nightly. I even want to gift it to my little brother because I think it would help out his skin too. The other products I have tried from them, like the lip balm, have been just ok in comparison, but still good.

  • one of my all time favorite masks and I LOVE their newer lip products

  • Loved the brand at first but I did not find myself repurchasing the products I tried. I did very much like the Cloud Dew as a summer moisturiser and the vitamin C.

  • I wanted to love Summer Fridays. I’ve tried 4 products from them, and none worked for me. While the products do smell great, are too many scent ingredients for my skin. Besides the scent not working for me, I think the products are more expensive than they warrant. For example, a gel cream I love is the niacinamide gel cream from Naturium. Summer Friday’s gel cream is not as good, comes in similar packaging, and costs 2x more.

  • Summer Fridays is an awesome, innovative brand with so many quality products. I've tried the Sheer Skin Tint and the ShadeDrops and they've both become regulars in my routine. The Sheer Skin Tint especially is one of my favorite products I've tried in the last year because it has such natural, glowy coverage with really hydrating ingredients. I can't wait to try more Summer Fridays products in the future!

  • My only experience is with the jetlag mask and LET ME TELL YOU it's not a great moisturizer under makeup (it pills) but it rocks for flights and night time moister lock in. I slather this on my face in the air and feel like my ski never dries out.

  • The lip balm is my absolute favorite - I don't go a day without it and I love the different tinted shades. The hype around the jet lag mask is insane, but it may just not be for my skin type. The gel moisturizers are amazing though! I also love the overall brand/branding!

  • Great product! Have tried the blue and golden packaged masks. Feels really luxurious when using it and makes my skin feel great.

    Feedback

    I appreciate the tin packaging but don't think it is recyclable and would appreciate it if it was. Also don't like how you have to buy the metal tool to get all the product from the tube. A little scammy to me.

  • Have only tried theirs masks and I love love love their Overtime mask. Smells so good, feels nice and my skin looked so fresh and clear after!

  • The branding, the products, the founders - all 11/10! Love how simple the product is and it works beautifully.
