Summer Fridays earns largely positive reviews for plush, hydrating textures—particularly the Lip Butter Balm and Jet Lag Mask, which many say leave skin and lips soft, glowy, and comfortable—yet opinions split on efficacy: some see transformative hydration while others find results mild or experience irritation, especially with Jet Lag. Reviewers praise the clean-feeling formulas and sleek, travel-friendly packaging, but note issues such as stickiness, scent intensity, pigment sheerness, occasional pilling, and reports of reactions or dryness in sensitive users.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • The Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm is a treat for both hydration and shine. The balm texture is buttery-smooth, gliding on effortlessly without feeling heavy. It delivers instant moisture, making it perfect for dry or chapped lips, and leaves a soft, dewy sheen that looks natural but polished.

  • Summer Fridays is one of my favorite skincare brands. The jet lag mask is my go to moisturizer, I highly recommend it and suggest it to all of my friends. I also like the lip butter balms, especially the mini size!

  • I came for the lip butter, I stayed for the skin care. I am a huge fan of the Jet Lag Mask, so I was excited to see the eye serum, skin serum, and hydrating mist editions. All of them are a 10/ 10. They are such a treat to apply not only traveling but as a mid-day work treat. The pump on the hydrating mist is super fine and covers your whole face in two pumps. I know that's a weird thing to comment on but I'm a bit of a toner connoisseur and this is at the top of the list for applications. The lip oil is super fun too. It's not sticky at all and I like that the color is really a glossy tint. Love all of it!!! These are a must for your travel bag on long-haul flights.

  • I am obsessed with the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balms. They glide on effortlessly with their soft, bouncy silicone applicator and give just the right amount of moisture for daytime wear. They are not overnight treatments, but they keep my lips happy while I sip coffee, run errands, or just go about my day. Each shade has its own subtle, delightful scent, which makes putting them on feel like a tiny treat. They kinda make me feel like an adult version of my childhood classic Lip Smackers. Vanilla Beige Vanilla Beige is the calm, cozy friend of the bunch. It smells lightly sweet like vanilla sugar and gives a soft, natural tint that works with everything. It is perfect for mornings when you want your lips to look polished and glossy. Pink Sugar Pink Sugar is playful, a little flirty, and candy-like without feeling childish. It adds a warm, soft pink that brightens the face instantly. This is the shade for when you want a hint of fun on your lips. Pink Guava Pink Guava is the juicy, vibrant one. Its subtle fruity scent makes applying it feel like a tiny treat. The color pops more than Vanilla Beige or Pink Sugar. Perfect for when you want your lips to feel a bit brighter. Iced Coffee Iced Coffee is the sophisticated snack of the collection and my personal favorite scent. It smells like a sweet, cozy coffee treat and makes putting it on feel indulgent. The shade is a soft brown-pink that works with everything and has this effortless polished vibe. Loooooove this one. All in all, these balms are a dream for daytime wear and one of my favorites on the market, there’s a reason they are viral! Moisturizing without being heavy, easy to apply, and scented in a way that makes you giggle about girlhood a bit, they are the perfect mix of practical and indulgent. I keep one in my bag at all times and love that each shade brings its own little personality to the day. I also think they make great gifts! I’ll definitely love adding them to my girlfriends’ birthday presents!

  • I loved the products I tested. The spray is so hydrating whether flying or just for a mid day refresh. The serum was very moisturizing. I love the Jet Lag Mask as an overnight moisturizer. It’s super hydrating but gentle and doesn’t break me out.
