Vacation
4.5 • 632 Reviews
Vacation creates a safe and clean sunscreen formula featuring the nostalgic smells of coconut, banana, and pool water.
Vacation wins converts in reviews for making sunscreen genuinely enjoyable to use—its Classic Lotion, Classic Whip mousse, sprays, and Chardonnay Oil protect well, rub in cleanly, and smell like nostalgic summer. The brand’s immersive retro aesthetic and standout scent delight, but drawbacks surface: some find fragrances too strong, want higher SPF or mineral-only options, report messy/leaky packaging and short can life, and a few call performance average or irritating near eyes.

Get this sunscreen if you don't like to put on sunscreen, because it actually makes the process 10x more fun. The consistency is great and it doesn't feel greasy. It smells great, too! My boyfriend was applying this, and it attracted so much attention from his nephews and nieces that they wanted to try it, too. This is definitely a trend everyone should join in on. I’ve tried their other sunscreens and they’re really nice, too.

Big fan of the vacation sunscreen oils! I’ve tried both the baby oil and the Chardonnay, I think I prefer the baby oil but it’s not water resistant. They are more expensive but worth it on vacation or when you want a special treat
Smells terrific and is a very thick lotion a bit of a white cast, but once it’s rubbed in a lot, it works. Sun wise like I’ve still gotten a sunburn while using this product and reapplied, but I’m not 100% sure if that’s the case. Thick enough to feel like you’ve had a decent amount on and can get in the water, but I feel like it comes off fairly quickly in the water and that’s how I burnt.

Vacation Classic SPF 50 is the sunscreen that actually makes you excited to apply SPF. The scent is everything — that iconic tropical, coconut-y fragrance that smells like a luxury resort and instantly puts you in vacation mode. The texture is creamy and smooth, not thick or greasy like so many SPFs, and it gives your skin this gorgeous luminous finish that works as a light coverage on its own. No white cast, no heavy residue — just glowy, protected skin that smells incredible all day. Sunscreen has never been this fun.
