  • Luxurious, hydrating textures

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 have been a huge fan of summer Fridays since the very beginning. I have been wanting to try the jet leg mist and let me just say wow it’s the most hydrating mist I’ve ever tried. Once it dries down it leaves such a dewy glowy finish as well. The packaging also has a really cute blue color.

  • Summer Fridays Jet Lag Overnight Eye Serum has been a game changer for me! My skin, particularly below my eyebrows gets so dry during the winter. I’m also 55 and need all the help I can get under my eyes. This eye serum has helped me in both ways! The skin around my eyes feels tighter and perfectly hydrated. Sometimes my skin got so dry it was difficult to pluck my eyebrows that got trapped by dryer spots. The gentle retinoid blend in Jet Lag Overnight Eye Serum helped with that as well! Though it’s marketed as an overnight eye serum, I also use it during the day. With my skin getting so dry, it’s a bonus that I can put a thin layer under my cream eyeshadow. I’m about halfway through mine and will definitely buy it again!

  • Yummy and long lasting. The lip glosses are higher quality than others and have creative flavors. I want to collect them all!! You can get them in Sephora, on their site or other places. I love buying the gift boxes.

  • My favorite tinted lip balm! It applies so smoothly, the color section is amazing. The product is never sticky and it smells good but not overpowering. The tube lasts a long time and I reapply several times a day. I’m currently using the color Poppy.

  • I've only ever tried their lip butter balm, I have quite a few "flavors"/scents, and they are good I would say more moisturizing than the Rhode ones and sticky but not my favorite out of all my lip balms. In a pinch its great. My favorites are the Sweet Mint and then a tie between Pink Sugar, and Vanilla Beige. They do have good color too.

  • The jet set bundle is perfect for traveling. I used it on an international flight and felt like my skin was rejuvenated and well moisturized coming off the plane. It’s a good size, compact and the mask smells great. If you want well hydrated skin, this is a good option.

  • The Summer Fridays lip butters are great. I do wish the flavors were less sweet, though I know that is what a lot of people prefer. I find them to be moisturizing, not sticky, and come in a great range of colors.

  • I just got my first Summer Fridays order and I have to say, the whole experience was such a pleasant surprise. The packaging itself immediately stood out as you can see, the boxes and color palette are so thoughtfully designed, and even the way the products were packed felt like it was done with care. It made the unboxing feel a little special, which I appreciate. So far, I’ve only tried the eye patches and the face wash, but I’m already impressed. The eye patches felt cooling and refreshing, and I liked how they stayed put instead of sliding around. The cleanser has that perfect balance as in gentle enough not to strip, but still leaves my skin feeling really clean. It’s early days, but I’m genuinely excited to keep using the line and see how it works for me. Aesthetics aside (which are definitely on point), the actual products are already winning me over.

  • 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 purchased the Jet Lag kit and the Cloud Dew moisturizer. The Cloud Dew is fantastic. I have very dry skin and this is by far the most moisturizing. It is the final cream I put on before applying my foundation and it goes on much smoother. Highly, highly recommend! The Jet Lag kit is perfect for traveling. It covers the basics and is compact enough to throw in your carry on bag. Love a good hydrating mist. The mask is not too heavy and feels like a mini facial 35 feet in the air! Overall, I will continue to use this brand, especially since they are a clean brand and reasonably priced!

  • I'm so impressed with my Summer Fridays order. Everything was good, but a couple of products were on another level. Here's what I bought after reading some reviews: + Jet Lag Mask: This is a miracle in a tube. As a tretinoin user, my skin barrier was in desperate need of help. This mask is incredibly soothing and hydrating, yet light and non-greasy. It brought my skin back from being flaky and irritated to a calm and hydrated state. An absolute essential for me now. + Lip Balm: I got this as a gift with purchase, and I'm obsessed! This is easily one of the best lip balms I've ever used. It's so nourishing and comfortable. I'll be buying the full size immediately. +CC Me Serum & Light Aura Eye Cream: Both of these are really nice products! The serum is a great daily vitamin C, and the eye cream is brightening and hydrating. I'm happy with them and will continue to use them, but the mask and balm were the true showstoppers for me. Overall, I am pleased with everything, but I especially recommend the Jet Lag Mask and the Lip Butter Balm!

  • Love the feel and sheer look of the Vanilla a beige balm- a perfect everyday lip item. Smells lovely and imparts a subtle, nude tint that just accentuates your natural lip color. Clean ingredients and cute packaging- what’s not to love? (except the slightly more expensive price).

  • 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

  • My lip butter balm is my favorite lip gloss. I have the vanilla beige and it’s perfect for everyday wear and I love the scent. It’s smooth and not sticky so it isn’t annoying like some other glosses.
