Reviews mention

  • Nostalgic, transportive fragrance

Vacation wins raves for making sunscreen enjoyable, with reviews praising the nostalgic, “best-smelling” scents, clever Classic Whip mousse, and formulas that apply smoothly without greasy residue or white cast; many say the products “work” and prevent burns. Reviews also flag drawbacks: strong fragrance, SPF levels that feel too low for some, uneven spray mechanisms or leaky oil packaging, occasional eye sting/pilling, and portions that feel small for frequent use.

  • This brand is everything. Their products are top quality. You name a sunscreen, I’ve tried it. Korean brands, Japanese brands, baby sunscreen, physical and chemical. Very expensive to very cheap. Vacation brand sunscreens are one of my top three for face sunscreen and number one choice overall for me. (Kids/daily use sunscreen is a different choice but that’s another matter). The branding is the best I’ve ever seen. Cool website, cool looking products— I even have their car scent because it smells amazing. Buy anything from them, you’ll be happy.

  • The scent alone is enough to deserve a 5 star review. Sunscreen spray works incredibly well and smells even better. Love the perfume too, obviously. Smells like summer!

  • I have the SPF Baby Oil and it is beautiful! I love the branding and design. It brings back a lot of memories growing up and I love how it feels on my skin. I don't feel like I am greasy and my pores are clogged. I feel clean and I smell BEAUTIFUL!

  • My go to spf, I love the different textures of the products

  • These smell the best. I actually haven't purchased but tried my friends and I definitely plan on buying this summer.

  • The bananas foster lip balm tastes great, but the aftertaste from the sunscreen is pretty rough. With how tasty it is, you want to keep licking your lips but it gets a little icky from the jump. The sunscreen for its own sake smells great though!

  • I’m obsessed with vacation. Never had a perfume with banana notes in it but I’m actually in love

  • Pretty pleasant. Still don’t know if it’s for face or not. Will buy again.

  • Great product! I love the packaging, variety and innovation. My only issue is having to buy them online instead of in person

  • Love how easy this was to rub in and the non sticky feeling it had! Felt like I had good coverage too and the whole brand feel is very nostalgic.

    Verified purchase

  • This is one of my favorite brands! High quality, luxury, and in the most beautiful packaging! The quality is unmatched

  • I can’t speak on their sunscreens. I got 2 of their lip balms, bananas foster & pineapple upside down cake. Not worth the money and the flavors were gross.

  • Good range of products with nostalgic packaging. The mineral body sunscreen is very water resistant which is great (however this also makes it hard to wash off after a day at the beach).

  • The Whip smells great and the packaging is very cool. The gimmick runs into issues with portioning sunscreen amount and not being hot weather friendly in an aerosol can. Product itself is effective and not too greasy.

  • Gorgeous branding and marketing. Such a cool and unique look.

  • These products are so fun but are still incredibly effective. I always love seeing what they’ll come up with next. Their branding is adorable. Love!

  • 10/10 packaging and branding! Like come on, how fun and nostalgic?! I have had a great experience using the products as well.

  • The whipped body sunscreen is divine! Smells amazing and goes on with zero white cast! Honestly I could wear a perfume in this scent!
