Vacation wins rave reviews for making sunscreen genuinely enjoyable and, for many, highly effective—lightweight textures, no-sting protection, and a signature nostalgic scent draw repeat use—yet critiques note occasional white cast, stickiness or pilling, strong fragrance, small/leaky packaging, and mixed results with mineral and oil formats. Reviews of Vacation highlight standout formats like Classic Whip, Classic Lotion, and Chardonnay/Champagne oils, but also mention spray-can mechanism hiccups and uncertainty about application amounts with the whipped mousse.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I tried the collector's dessert lip balm set and was really impressed by how good/potent the smells were. Points for novelty of fragrance! Downside was the smell sticks around and makes you really hungry for something that you're merely taunted with. As for texture, they were moist without being sticky/oily and it sinks well into the lips. Would probably only buy the after-dinner mint again for the smell + tingle, because 5 sticks is personally a bit too much. Maybe as an addition to my next sunscreen order!
I love Vacation! I'm usually a Korean sunscreen girly, but when it comes to beach/pool, you gotta go with water resistant and Vacation is just that! The aesthetic/branding is right up my alley with that retro nostalgia, but it's really about the products. I have tried (and gifted) the whip (so fun!), the face spritz LIVES in my bag and is given to ALL of my friends because it's the only face spf I've found you can apply AFTER makeup and feel like you've got coverage. My husband loves the clear face spf and the spf 50 body is so solid and is TSA approved. Overall, highly recommend to anyone looking for spf! (and their scents/candles are not to be slept on, have gifted multiple times!)
This sunscreen works just as well as any other sunscreen on the market, except it is triple the price. The only thing that is has on others is that it smells really good, but that is about it. It's sunscreen!
picked up their sunscreen spray, ironically while on vacation no less. really great smell, alot like banana boat with that coconut and banana smell. good quality where its not to greasy but also not too chalky residue

There are sunscreen spray there’s no white cast. It smells good and it applies and soaks onto my skin nicely. It didn’t leave my skin burning itching for sensitive skin and I must have a routine for your skin care in the morning.
Vacation’s whipped sunscreen is so fun to apply. The consistency is like putting on shaving cream and is so soft to the touch. It makes putting on sunscreen fun, so it makes me want to protect my skin.
I love the retro feel of this sunscreen companies products. The products are super cute and they are great for sticking in your beach bag. They protect me and I never get sunburnt when I use them. Great for the beach

These sunscreens are fine - I just don't love them. I hate it when companies make sunscreens gimmicky - like here with the whipped stuff. It makes it less likely that people put on enough for the proper protection.
Vacation's Classic Sunscreen SPF 50 offers great protection with a non-greasy formula that absorbs easily. The yummy tropical scent is like a beach vacation in a bottle!! It’s water-resistant, dermatologist-tested, and free from harmful chemicals, making it both effective and enjoyable to use. Perfect for those sunny days!
I love the throwback packaging of Vacation's sun products. Very nostalgic! I can't say that they really perform better than drug store sunscreens, but I appreciate the clean ingredients and light scent that isn't too overpowering.
I first bought some of the sunscreen from Target! I absolutely love it and have collected almost all of the products because of the scent and how light it goes on. I just tried the cooling gel and it is perfect because it goes on light and it isn’t sticky like other aloe vera gels. The scent is also amazing! It also came with an air freshener that I will be putting in my car. The cooling gel is what I ordered from Amazon. I really could be a spokesperson for your product because I absolutely adore it! Thank you so much!!
I love the whipped the sunscreen! I smells amazing and the packaging is so creative. The texture is creamy. A little pricey but so worth it!

I wasn’t a huge fan of this! For some reason. It just felt so oily 🤧
These sunscreens are amazing. I love the different product options that they have and I absolutely love the old school 90s branding. It’s just so different for a sunscreen brand to look like this and their sunscreens work excellent.
I am a big fan of their Sun care products. The viral whipped can of sunscreen was cute and retro. I haven’t seen a product packaged in that way. Clever and effective marketing. I would recommend this product.

I like the texture of the sunscreen. It makes it fun to put on sunscreen.
I have two of the perfumes and am in love! They totally have that old school sun tan lotion scent that takes you back to a fun sunny day hanging out on the beach with friends. I have also tried their SPF and definitely would buy it again.
I used the classic lotion with spf 30. Good coverage and easy to apply. Love the packaging and brand aesthetic.

Tried this on my last beach trip and worked great. Better option than the one I had at home. Wasn’t a great fan of the smell.
The vacation packaging is adorable! I really love the sense of nostalgia, being an 80s baby. Reminds me of a trip to Greece with my parents when I was nine. But with higher spf!!
