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.

  • Have used both the Jet Lag and Overtime masks and think both are some of the best masks I have tried. Jet Lag is an instant plump and pick me up for your skin and amazing in flight so you don’t land with dry, tired skin. The Overtime mask is just exfoliating enough to give you a glow without being super harsh.

    No qualms recommending this brand - the founders clearly invest a lot in R&D and are making amazing products. Definitely want to try more!

  • Absolutely love the CC Me Serum & the fact that products can be shipped back to the brand in exchange for a free product! It helps me feel like I'm contributing to a circular, environmentally-conscious experience and I feel less bad about the fact that my products don't go straight in the trash. I also LOVE the Lip Butter Balm and so has every other person I know that's tried it.

  • Love the Jet Lag Mask as a little treat for myself. I tend to do masks on Sunday nights and this is great because I can put it on and go to bed. My skin feels very moisturized in the morning, like a reset before the long week. I have the sample size tube but will definitely repurchase the large size. Since I only use it about once a week, the small tube has even lasted several months. Has a very light and clean scent, great consistency, perfect for winter. Also great packaging.

    Price isn't the best, but like I said, I use it weekly as a ~treat~ so I do not have a huge problem with the cost.

  • I have the lip butter balm in flavor Vanilla. It's one of my favorite lip products -- it's hydrating, but isn't a substitute for chapstick because it is so glossy. It wears for a long time and the smell isn't overwhelming.

    I wish they made an unflavored version!

  • I’ve only ever tried the Lip Butter Balm in vanilla and if anything it felt sticky and I believe it made my lips more chapped after using a few times. I don’t love the product.

  • Great quality products,the sheer skin tint is amazing; your skin will look healthy and glowy but natural. Great for the no makeup, makeup look

  • I use the Jet Lag Mask twice a day as an eye cream. It's pretty good but I find it a little too close to a moisturizer to put on as a mask and blot off as they recommend. I've also used the Overtime Mask - which I loved. The feeling, the scent, and the exfoliation was awesome. Will be buying another tube of that in the future. Might skip on the Jet Lag though.

    No feedback atm!

  • At first I was a bit sceptical of the brand, however, I have since used the Jet Lag mask when my skin was having a significant allergic reaction (I was experiencing itchiness, dryness and flakiness) and it absolutely calmed and soothed my skin. Keeping this on hand for any skin reactions in the future! At another time I used the R+R Face Mask and loved it, super gritty exfoliation on wash off but the oil level kept my skin plump and felt lovely. If you want a gentle exfoliation though this product is not for you.

  • I think the products are definitely WTH! I love the Overtime mask! It's a great exfoliator without being harsh and truly makes my skin feel noticeably softer after just one us. You also get a lot for your money and can get a lot out of a tube.

    I think expansion into more products would be great, but they've definitely started doing this more aggressively over the last year or so.

  • I love this brand, they’re very clean and play into natural looking makeup - very aesthetic overall. The only product I continuously repurchase from them is those dang lip balms - they’re the only lip balm that actually hydrates my lips, and they give a nice shine like lip gloss. My favorite is definitely the mint!!

  • Products are amazing! They are a little overpriced but if you find a good deal it is totally worth it! Their mission is inspiring and meaningful!!

  • You can see a lot of people on the internet talking about the summer fridays lip balm and they all are telling the truth. This balm is soo good, definitely worth buying!

  • Absolutely love their lip balm - nothing else compares! Smells, feels, and looks great and I love how they always come out with new colors.

  • I only use Summer Fridays lip balm, and while it’s on the expensive side, it’s definitely worth it. The formula is super nourishing and keeps my lips hydrated for a long time. It feels luxurious and smooth, making it my go-to balm. If you're willing to splurge a little on a high-quality lip balm, this one is a great choice!

  • I got the pink sugar lip balm and it was a perfect treat-yourself purchase. I love the taste and the feel on my lips. My biggest issue is the product design, as it is more difficult to get out than I would have imagined. There are lots of air bubbles given the shape and it takes some skill to get the right amount out each time. The price is also a bit steep, but was a fun splurge for an every once in awhile purchase.

  • I absolutely love the summer Fridays lip butter balm. I have not tried any other shade or scent besides the vanilla one which is clear. However, I already love the formula, taste and smell of the other flavors. This is one of the more slippy hydrating lip balm formulas I have effort tried.

  • Currently trying to collect all their lip balms because they are SO GOOD!! Cherry and Bornw Sugar are my personal favourites. The lip balms are very hydrating, not sticky at all, and paired with a lip liner makes them look even better.
