Vacation reviews and discussion

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.

Smells delicious, efficacious, and absorbs well into skin. Does not leave any streaks with a lotion-like texture. Zero burns and leaves a great looking tan.

I love everything about Vacation Sunscreen. It goes on without a white cast, it smells both unique and nostalgic at the same time, and its branding is so fun! Clean ingredients make this an spf staple in my house.

You have got to smell this oil. Not only does it give you some kind of higher SPF (for an oil) it's great to use and smell. It's the classic suntan scent. I recent went on a cruise and I kept this and their sunblock tucked in my sarong. I was so proud to show that S off lol I love the vacation Brand.

I have to say - I was skeptical of this scent at first, but it quickly turned into one of my go-to fragrances that I continuously reach for. I can't even explain it - will you smell like sunscreen? Yes, kinda, but in the best possible way. The scent is intoxicating and I'm obsessed.

I thought this was a fun concept and purchased this. It's a little oily feeling when I put it on and takes a while for it to really get into your skin. It left a white cast on me for a little bit till I felt like it worked itself into my skin.

I’m obsessed with everything I have tried from Vacation! I stocked up for a trip to Cancun and it kept me protected, not sticky, and smelling nice. I loved using the Shimmer Whip for attending the beach wedding, and the oil for by the pool! You really can’t go wrong with the whole brand experience 😍

I'm a sunscreen fanatic. I love trying different brands, trying to find "the one". I have 3-4 sunscreens I rotate between depending on the day. For Vacation, I tried two products: their mineral body sunscreen (Mineral Lotion SPF 30) and their mineral milk (for face). I am trying to use more sunscreen products that are Zinc based, therefore mineral based. Neither mineral formula smells like coconut, banana, which I personally like. I don't really like strongly scented sunscreens. The body sunscreen blends well, and goes on nicely on the skin. The mineral milk is fantastic- a perfect facial sunscreen for the days you want something minimal, un-tinted and light feeling on the skin.

I think Vacation is on of the most fun brands out there right now. Their branding is so well done and every touchpoint is always perfectly aligned with the overall vibe of the brand. I've tried their sunscreen and aloe and I like both. The spray on sunscreen applied well, and smelled quite nice The aloe was nice and cooling after a few days in the sun. I can't say there is anything wildly standout about either of the products but what I honestly like best about both is their aesthetic appeal!

Personally, I find Vacation's packaging to be a little too gimmicky for my taste. For this reason, I don't find myself repurchasing the Classic Whip sunscreen. I do, however, LOVE their SPF 30 baby oil. Great for layering with sunscreen to get a gorgeous glow and safely tanning.

I went and got the viral spf from vacation that’s like a whip cream and baby let me tell you it burns the heck outta ur eyes but works amazing for sunscreen and DOES NOT LEAVE A WHITE CAST I REPEAT NO WHITE CAST

I brought Vacation sunscreen with me to Mexico, and it honestly felt like part of the whole vibe. Every time I put it on. Whether before snorkeling in Cozumel or lounging under a palapa in Sayulita the scent instantly took me back to childhood summers: coconut, banana, a hint of pool water. It protected my skin all day without feeling heavy or sticky, and I actually looked forward to reapplying it. It was like sunscreen that made the whole trip feel a little more fun, a little more golden.

Ive tried a couple of Vacation products over the last year or so and while I can't say these are my official go to sunscreens (mainly because I live in the desert and I go through a LOT of sunscreen and I live in canada) but ive purchased the Classic Lotion, Chardonnay Oil & Orange Gelee on vacation (hehe) and what sticks with me is really the feeling and smell. No other suncreen Ive found will leave you feeling and smelling so glamorous and glowy. I'm saving the orange gelee for special occasions because it gives me such a beautiful shimmery glow. And the classic lotion has an intoxicatingly summertime smell.

I’m obsessed with Vacation sunscreens! Honestly, I love all their formulas and get excited when they release a new one. They feel lightweight and silky on the skin, and the scent is divine. It’s like a little treat every time I apply it, which makes the whole sunscreen routine enjoyable. I even bought their perfume to keep that scent on me more often, but unfortunately, it’s a bit too weak for my liking...I wish it were more long-lasting. What really stands out about Vacation is how they've turned a boring, everyday ritual into a fun moment, making sun protection feel fun rather than a chore. If you want a sunscreen that’s effective, smells incredible, and makes you feel like you’re living the luxe life, Vacation is the way to go.

I love the Broad Spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen! I love the smell of it as it smells sort of tropical, and I also really like how it lathers onto my skin and how it doesn’t leave any white cast. I always make sure to apply it on my arms before I go to school as I am walking under the sun a lot as I go from class to class. I’ve used up quite a bit of it too, and it works great for avoiding sunburns!

Vacation has nailed both the product and the branding, their body oil and sunscreen are genuinely enjoyable to use and actually work, but the whole retro nostalgic aesthetic makes the experience feel elevated and fun. The formula feels great, smells good, and looks cool on your counter, which matters more than we admit.

I loved the packaging, creativity, and vintage nostalgia of this sunscreen. Vacation always knocks it out of the park with their marketing and fun factor. However, as a sunscreen I just didn’t love the whipped texture and didn’t find myself reaching for it often.

As a Jersey girl who practically lives at the shore all summer, finding the right sunscreen is non-negotiable — and Vacation’s Whipped Sunscreen is so close to perfect. First off, the texture is unreal. It really does feel like whipped cream and melts into the skin like butter. No chalky cast, no greasy mess — just soft, hydrated skin with a subtle glow.
