Love the retro feel, how it smells, and it definitely provides sun protection (I get burned easily). Yet, I did experience some problems.
It reacted with my sweat or skin and made my arms really sticky which meant a lot of dirt stuck to my arms which wasn't great :(
I tried the classic lotion and spray. Neither absorb into your skin so well. When I started sweating, it ran into my eyes and burned. I didn't put too much on, and haven't experienced that with more "normal" sunscreens I've used in the past 🤷♂️
Love the aesthetic & scent. It's alright sunscreen, but it has a hard time absorbing. The kind that you can see on the surface of the water when you go swimming. Overall, you can get better bang for your buck elsewhere.
The spray sunscreen is great. Good smell, works like sunscreen should. Nice looking bottle.
Adding additional SPF varieties could be useful. Wouldn't mind a higher SPF.
I tried Vacation's Classic Lotion and absolutely love it! The smell and texture is amazing, and their lotion really did protect my skin from the sun. I can't get enough of their scent, and can't wait to try their other products mainly because of this.
I wish they offered larger sizes to stock up on lotions, especially for those of us who spend a lot of time outdoors.
I bought a pack of 6 of their Classic Lotion on a whim from a sample sale website after seeing this brand pop up on Thingtesting! I really enjoy the nostalgic packaging, application, and smell.
I did get stopped by TSA and they searched my carry-on toiletry bag for this sunscreen - thankfully they didn't trash it. I did pack one too many things this time around so my ratio might have gone over the 3-1-1 rule!
Took their whipped formula sunscreen on vacation with me last week and I loved it. I have really sensitive and burn prone skin and this didn’t irritate me and kept me protected. I love the fragrance and it’s really easy to apply. The whipped cream packaging is super cute and actually made me want to reapply throughout the day, which I’m usually negligent about. I gifted a bottle of the Chardonnay oil to one of my travel companions and they loved it as well.
I used the Classic Whip Sunscreen. The packaging and the fact that the sunscreen is whipped makes the use of this sunscreen 1,000% more fun and enjoyable than any other sunscreen I've used before. The value for the product I think is pretty good too - there's a good amount to use for the price. I can't speak super well to the efficacy of the sunscreen, meaning.. I haven't been burnt while using it, but I also haven't spent too much time in the sun. I can however say that rubbing the sunscreen into your skin is a pleasant process. It kind of feels like a lighter and airier shaving cream that gets absorbed by your skin as you rub it. Overall, love the packaging, the sunscreen felt good to rub in and it didn't irritate my skin, the scent is fine, and I think it's a pretty good value.
No notes.
Am I in Baywatch now?
Using these products is peak beach luxury. The classic scent is reminiscent of a fresh piña colada brought over by beach club service. The texture of the whipped cream sunscreen feels like silk across my skin.
Best branding and marketing experience in the game. If you're not on their email list you're missing out! Fave products: Chardonnay Oil, the spray sunscreen, the air fresheners.
The chardonnay oil can definitely be a bit leaky. The chapsticks and super spritzer are good but I won't buy them again.
