Vacation reviews and discussion

Love the aesthetic & strategy of this brand. The sunscreen is nostalgic in both its packaging and scent, but the performance of the sunscreen is standard. A fun purchase for gifts or if the branding is up your alley (it is up mine), but otherwise I would skip it.

What’s not to love about a well executed throwback brand that makes a great product? First and foremost, I love the actual sunscreen they make. It goes on easy, they have lots of different types and spf levels, and all of them smell like, well, they smell like vacation. Tropical, airy, but not overly scented like the Hawaiian Tropic that many of us remember from our childhoods. It’s just enough of a scent to give you the sense memory but not so much that it’s overwhelming. Then there’s the branding itself. Vacation is fun, nostalgic, and we’ll executed. They have a clear idea of who they are and they do it really well. The only ding I’d give them is on price, but compared to similar sunscreen brands, they are where you’d expect them to be. Overall, really dig this brand and have already Re upped a couple of times on their products.

Vacation sunscreen spray is my ultimate travel buddy! 🌞✈️ Whether I'm chasing sunsets or catching waves, this little lifesaver has my back – literally! 🏖️ 🌴 It's lightweight, so no more feeling like a greasy coconut in the tropics. 🌊 It's water-resistant, because let's face it, waves have no chill. 🌞 And the best part? No sunburn surprises! So here's to sunny adventures, endless summers, and Vacation sunscreen spray – my go-to for carefree fun in the sun. 🌞🏄‍♀️

Loved the classic whip that I got via Thingdrop. Good sun protection, doesn't irritate my skin, and finish is dry to the touch. Also smells great without being too overpoweringly tropical. Plus, the whipped cream can is just super fun!

Deceptive marketing, they look all cool and retro, but their website promotes all their good ingredients, but if you dig deeper, they are a chemical sunscreen that contains Avobenzone. This stuff messes with your hormones. However, in their ingredients, they say "Coconut Oil, Aloe Vera, Banana Extract, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Vitamin E, and Full list of ingredients below." They don't show all the chemicals upfront used in their products.

I have tried the classic lotion and eau de toilette from vacation and they are nothing short of amazing. The scent and branding of Vacation’s products is what draws you in, and you will stay for the high performing formulas.

Amazing smell and product.

Great product, the smell makes me feel like a kid again! Branding is amazing, makes me feel like I'm stepping into my parents era on vacation. Wish the bottle was a tad big bigger, living in Miami we go through so much sunscreen, but overall worth it for the smell and ingredients.

I looooove this stuff Branding: 10000/10, even the packing slip was on theme! It's such a specific aesthetic but it's one that I love. They lean into it so well and get every last detail in on it. Classic Lotion SPF 30- I really like this stuff! I'm an esthetician so I never skip sunscreen and have tried more than I can keep track of. I was a little worried since it has coconut oil in it but so far nothing has caused any congestion. The fragrance is nice, if you're sensitive I can see it being too much like some reviews have stated, but for me I don't smell it on my face after I'm done applying it. I describe it as smelling like sunscreen in the sun at the beach- it has hints of Banana Boat with some watery and warm elements to it. Super Spritz- I like trying new products for reapplying sunscreen throughout the day so this launch is what made me finally pull the trigger to place the order and get everything I've had my eyes on. It smells nice and fresh, and the sprayer lets off a perfect mist. It did burn my lips a little bit but that's something I also experienced with the Supergoop (Re) Setting spray. Well Tipped Pool Boy candle- This was a bit of an impulse add. It smells similar to the sunscreen but with some musky notes. I haven't lit it yet but it smells great although it was a bit messy when it arrived.

One of my friends gifted me the Vacation perfume and it is definitely reminiscent of its namesake! It smells like the best version of sunscreen without the chemical smell that sometimes comes with sunscreen. I hate to compare it to sunscreen scent because it is so much better than that. It definitely is something I am more likely to wear in the warmer months.

Out of all the mineral sunscreens I’ve used (at least 5 different brands), this is by far the one that blends in the best and easiest. Even on my paler skin, I can generally notice a white cast from other brands - but not this one! I can’t promise people with darker skin tones wouldn’t have white cast, though, but I would recommend trying it out. For a body sunscreen that you would go through fairly quickly, it’s a little more expensive but still affordable enough that I don’t feel bad buying it for the better experience! I got it in-store at Ulta.

A fun and affordable luxury reminiscent of 90s beach/pool days. Vacation is old school cool mixed with modern principles of safe and clean self-care.

The branding is such a big part of the Vacation experience, and they execute it flawlessly. I received the Classic Whip sunscreen and it has the exact look and feel of whipped cream, it’s uncanny! It does rub in a bit sticky at first, and the smell is quite strong and sweet, but it dries smooth and the smell fades and becomes more subtle. I’m a fan!

Smells like summer.

Smells great and the branding is so fun. The “whipped cream” sunscreen feels and looks exactly like Reddi-Wip or shaving cream and melts into skin—it feels very moisturizing.

The classic whip is so good. So good I would eat it (seriously). Vacation should consider dropping a real whipped cream that is edible because the sunscreen really slapped. It's so enjoyable to use and is so different from other body sunscreens out there. + The site and branding is fun -- their emails? actually enjoyable and fun to open (e.g. how to make a paper boat from their packaging: incredible)

I love the aesthetic of this brand! It is so nostalgic, fun, and intentional. The branding, packaging and freebies make the purchase an experience. I used the new whipped sunscreen and it definitely makes the usual tedious action of applying sunscreen fun. However, I find it a little gimmicky overall.

Extremely fun packaging and aesthetic. Applying the whipped sunscreen was a real treat!

This is great for gifting and/or sharing with your friends in general. I got some for a bachelorette trip so all the products came in handy. The little bundle also came with car fresheners which smells great too. Love the packaging and overall design - check out their excellent radio too.

The packaging and the smell is amazing. I love all the little goodies in the unboxing. Most importantly, the product worked to prevent a sunburn after a few hours in the sun. I would repurchase this again.
