Vacation reviews and discussion

Their perfume is a perfect summer scent! It smells a bit of sunscreen when you first spray it, but settles in to a nice coconut smell.

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.

It works and it’s easy to spread. I was expecting to be blown away by the scent (which is why I bought it), but I just wasn’t. The scent is certainly nice, but I don’t understand the hype on that.

I absolutely loved the whipped sunscreen. There was something so nostalgic about the experience of putting on the sunscreen. I loved the smell and the packaging.

I tried the Classic Spray SPF 30 through a Thingdrop. The spray was even and smelled great - I especially love that it's reef friendly. I wish they had some higher SPFs in their product family, but since they're a newer brand I'm just going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that's coming in the next few product launches! The only other thing I'll note is that while I don't mind paying extra for better products, I don't know if this is significantly better than some of their direct competitors - and they charge quite a bit more.

I love this stuff! Please make more. This is some amazing stuff to protect your hide from that big yellow orb in the sky. All of their stuff smells delicious but please don't eat it! But your skin will love it.

Received the spray sunscreen. As someone who is always hesitant with the quality and human accuracy of spray for sun coverage, I was really impressed with Vacation. The smell and texture was better than expected and had similar results to other brands we use (La-Roche Posay, Sunbum, CeraVe). Given we don't typically use a spray cannister for sunscreen, I was unsure how it lasted compared to similar, however we were able to use the bottle throughout vacation for our family of 3.

Smells really good and goes on nicely

first of all, can I say how quickly this shipped?! bought it and I swear it felt like it was here the next day! the packaging is fun - looks vintage but fresh. the smell is fresh too, like the best parts of sunscreen but somehow even better. I love a spray for when I'm already at the beach or on the go so my hands don't get extra greasy and this one was just perfect.

From the quick shipping, packaging, and fun unboxing which included paperwork that looked like it came out on a dot matrix printer - and the sunblock was in an old school prescription bag...to the quality of the product and the smell.... I'm SOLD. I use YUKA app to rate what we buy and made sure this product doesn't have any harmful ingredients and it DOES NOT - it is a 93/100 on the scale of safety, which is rate excellent. The coverage is great and the smell is wonderful -- I will keep buying this quality sunscreen with no harmful ingredients!

Smells GREAT! Like summer in a bottle. Plus, love the little slide to lock the spray can. Works as says, and the design is lovely to look at. Love the retro feel!

I love when a brand comes along and is as loud and proud and quirky as Vacation. They've done a brilliant job with the brand and marketing (although my parents, who actually lived through the 80's, don't seem to understand my generation's nostalgia for a time when the hair was so big and the fashion was so bad and were quite baffled by the branding lol). BUT would the product live up to the hype? Yea, it mostly did (I bought the classic lotion, for context). I have always applied sunscreen from a place of fear of sunburn. Vacation helped me overcome this trauma and apply my sunscreen from a place of love: love for the divine smell and silky smooth texture. 😍 Also, they threw in a free air freshener that now hangs in my closet and makes my clothes smell like a vacation, which has my olfactory glands happy year-round...not just when the sun is shining.

Great packaging, haven't yet used product.

I lathered myself in Chardonnay Oil and immediately felt the urge to pull out the Osterizer to make an overly strong batch of rum runners. I woke up in a ditch outside of Flanagan's Cocktails & Dreams still shining from head to toe. 12/10.

Vacation sunscreen smells amazing! I'm not sure the products themselves justify the high price point, HOWEVER, the fun application styles (whip/oil) make it a joy to reapply, so that's a huge plus when it comes to UV protection.

Everything smells great. I have the face mist, the Chardonnay body oil, the Chardonnay lip oil, lip balm, and the orange stuff. My favorite is the face mist. Goes well over makeup and a small bottle lasts a while because of the fine mist. Their marketing creatives are top tier.

I love Vacation! Their branding and website is fun, vintage and cohesive. While I'm a huge fan of their classic SPF, it's their candles and scents that I like to spend my money on. Among them, Pool Boy is a personal favorite.

as a graphic designer, i admire vacation as a brand because of their commitment to their retro aesthetic. it truly sets them apart from any other cosmetic company. i have their ball boy air freshener hanging on my rearview mirror and every time i walk into my car i immediately feel like i'm in the hamptons drinking a cucumber margarita. also have tried both the classic and whipped spf and have had positive experiences with both of them!

My favorite sunscreen, hands down. I use the mineral lotion on my face and neck, the spray on my body, the Chardonnay oil at the pool, and the face spritz on the go.

I love everything this brand is doing, from their unique product line up to their marketing. I currently use and love the Classic Whip sunscreen and not only is it an extremely FUN way to apply sunscreen, it leaves skin with the perfect sheen/glow. I'm planning to buy the "vacation" perfume scent to use this summer, and will likely try out their more normal spray or cream sunscreens too. If you like that nostalgic, summer, coconut, sunscreen smell this is a brand for you.
