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.

I recently tried the Jet Lag Mask from Summer Fridays and understand why it’s so popular. It’s deeply hydrating and makes my skin look more refreshed and smooth when it feels dry or dull. I like using it when my skin needs a quick boost of moisture, and it leaves my face feeling soft, calm, and noticeably more hydrated. The Jet Lag Skin Soothing Hydration Mist has also been a nice addition to my routine. The mist is very fine and lightweight, and it adds a quick layer of hydration without feeling heavy or disturbing makeup. It’s great for a midday refresh when my skin is starting to feel a little dry. I also picked up the limited edition Lip Butter Balm in Birthday Cake and really like it. The texture is rich and nourishing without being sticky, and the scent is sweet but not overpowering. It keeps my lips soft, smooth, and hydrated for a long time.

Instant hydration anytime, anywhere! The Summer Fridays The Jet Lag™ products are now a staple in my skincare routine. The Jet Lag™ Deep Hydration Serum is light and extremely hydrating for my skin. The Jet Lag™ Mask is perfect as a nighttime moisturizer. Glycerin is a top ingredient for both of these products so you can expect your skin to look plump and smooth after application. The Jet Lag™ Skin Soothing Hydration Mist is an easy way to keep my face looking refreshed and hydrated without much effort. For the low mental health days, this mist is a lifesaver! In my photos, I sprayed the mist on the back of my super dry hands and also swatched the serum and mask to show the different consistency. When combined, it gives my skin the best glow up in just a few seconds!

Two of my favorite products on the market-- The Lip Butter Balm and the Jet Lag Mask!! The balm is just the perfect thickness and really lasts for so long. The colors are all perfectly pigmented and actually stay. The jet lag mask is SO hydrating and thick. I use it as my normal night cream in the cooler months.

I am a convert to Summer Fridays after trying the Jet Lag Mask. I was gifted it by my sister-in-law, and it is truly amazing when I'm travelling. The cream is so rich, and makes my dehydrated, tired skin come back to life.

If you have dry, combination or barrier-stressed skin, especially after travel or during busy weeks, the Jet Lag Mask is a solid pick. It feels luxurious, gives a visible “reset” in terms of hydration and plumpness, and works as a nice bonus step. If your skin is oily or you don’t use masks often, you might want a more cost-effective alternative for everyday use and save this for special nights. This mask-meets-moisturizer hybrid is designed for tired, dull, or dehydrated skin (think: post-flight or late-night mode). It features humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid to draw in moisture, and skin-soothing ingredients like niacinamide, allantoin, panthenol and cucumber extract. While the immediate feel is nice, some users (and myself in certain uses) found the effect timed out fairly quickly (i.e., the visible glow faded rather than lasting all night). Also, for oilier skin types it can feel a bit rich or heavy, so you might prefer using it selectively rather than everywhere.

I like the lip butter balms a lot. The brown tones are beautiful and while it’s technically a sheer balm, I notice a big difference before and after in terms of how put-together I look. It’s glossy but not too sticky. I did not expect them to actually smell like the flavor so that threw me off. I’m still not sure if I like the scents but I can see why some people love that about the product.

I’ve used the lip balms and the jet lag mask, and they’re both extremely hydrating, nice on the skin (and I’m acne-prone), and although somewhat pricey completely worth it. Plus, the scents on the lip balms are addicting.

There has never been separated in the formulation of the lip balms I’ve purchased from summer Fridays. The scents ARE AMAZINGGGGG. I’ve lost two of them and still repurchased. It really does hydrate your lips!

Historically, I have been a big fan - since day 1 with the jet lag mask. I have dry skin and this is always a product that adds extra moisture back when I most need it. I've tried a few of their other products like the lip gloss, etc but my problem with the brand is the pricing. I can't justify spending $50 on a small tube of moisturizer when there are equally good brands for much lower price point

I own several Summer Friday lip balms and in all honesty, they’re okay. Nothing life changing and probably wouldn’t repurchase. It has a smooth consistency but I don’t find them long lasting and it tends to leave these sticky residues on the corner of my lips.

I love the summer Friday Jetlag mask. It’s been a lifesaver for me on the airplane. however, the sheer skin tent was a total letdown. I bought shade two and the consistency was very very watery. About half an hour into the application it also oxidizes on my face turning another shade darker. I also threw this one out very disappointed.

I begrudgingly admit that these are worth the money. The Jet Lag Mask is a lovely, soft, creamy texture and super hydrating. I got a minis set of the lip balms last year and I think they're the only balms I've actually used all the way to the end - I would say they're medium quality, but I love the flavors/scents. I'm not in love with the price, but I do enjoy the products when purchased in a value set.

Am I the only one who thinks this lip balm is incredibly overrated? I found it to be completely unspecial and overpriced. The color is nice but the texture is not worth paying $20 for. I found myself reaching more for my $7 aquaphor.

I purchased the lip butter balm (which I know I love) and the sheer skin tint (which was totally new to me). The lip butter balm is truly the best balm out there. Non-sticky, natural, your-lips-but-better colors. Hydrating, dreamy, and in the cutest packaging! But listen. The sheer skin tint? ICONIC. I’m a brown girl with medium, neutral, olive tones and shade 4 was absolutely perfect. I have oily skin, but this product sort of self sets? I was so worried upon application that it would melt off but it doesn’t! It’s glowy, but not over the top, and is the best sheer layer of product. I’m wearing it (pink scarf), and even with flash and spf, there’s no flashback! Would definitely recommend.

I received both the jet lag mask and the lip butter balm in brown sugar for my birthday, and I LOVE them both! The lip balm is so hydrating, and I love that the shade is buildable since it's such a flattering color. The jet lag mask really quenches my skin which is great in both the summer and cold windy days!

I really like the lip butter balm from Summer Fridays, but I do think there are equivalent products out there for less! The shades of the balms are very flattering, and it feels moisturizing without being sticky.

I absolutely love me some Summer Fridays lip balms. Lips look naturally healthy and slightly glossy — perfect for no-makeup days or layering under lipstick. The sleek packaging makes it super easy to toss one in my purse or pocket for on-the-go touch-ups.

my all time favorite lip product I own in every single shade! I keep it with me wherever I go, and it is perfect for both hydration or the perfect lip combo. My favorite is pairing the clear shades like pink sugar or vanilla with a neutral lip liner for the best lip combo, or shade poppy is amazing on its own

This butter balm is sooooo nice and it does not make my lips feel sticky. I also like that the color on the balm isn't so bright. I like a muted glossy look and this butter balm delivers just that. I recommend

Let’s talk about the Jet Lag Mask first — it’s solid. Definitely hydrating and I love the packaging. It’s slim, travel-friendly, and fits perfectly in a purse or cosmetic bag for quick use on the go. That said, I’ve used more moisturizing formulas that give me that “deep hydration” feeling. This one’s great for a quick refresh, but not what I reach for daily when my skin needs serious moisture. As for the Lip Butter Balm, it’s… fine. It’s cute, smells nice, and looks sleek, but for me, it just doesn’t deliver enough hydration. I’m more of a Topicals kind of girl — I like that slick, hydrated, glossy-but-not-sticky look, and Summer Fridays doesn’t quite hit that mark for me. Verdict: Both products are nice and definitely aesthetic, but they don’t earn a permanent spot in my daily lineup. More “good to have” than “can’t live without.”
