Vacation wins praise in reviews for making sunscreen enjoyable to use—lightweight, non-greasy formulas, playful formats like Classic Whip, and transportive nostalgic scents—while effectively preventing burns for many users. Reviews also flag drawbacks: strong fragrance, occasional stickiness or oily feel, finicky spray/whip nozzles, smaller sizes that empty quickly, and concerns from mineral-only or “clean” ingredient seekers.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
Purchased because I thought it was funny, and then was surprised when the product actually worked well. It smells like pure nostalgia. I love that they offer a mineral option as well.

I've been stopped and complimented on the smell - it really is so good.
Feedback
Wish the bottles were a bit bigger.
GENIUS sunscreen with amazing vintage branding and THE BEST SMELL EVER! Super smart that they turned it into a perfume - I will wear 27 times more sunscreen just for the smell!!!!
Incredible branding and packaging. I received the Classic Whip sunscreen through thingtesting, but have purchased their other products. I am OBSESSED with their perfume -- it smells like suncreen, bathing suits, and summer in the absolute best way.

The whipped sunscreen is a little small, but a little goes a long way. It's so soft on your skin and smells GREAT.

What started as one of the most unique and purely fun corners of the internet has now developed into a solid cpg brand that continues the same fun and lightheartedness while delivering high quality products. I got the whipped sunscreen as part of a thing drop, and it is a joy to use.
Everything about Vacation from ads to site to unboxing to product has been out of this world. I can't stop talking about them to my friends. A sunscreen that looks and feels like whipped cream? (Okay, so it feels a little tacky on the skin for the first few minutes.) Packaging the product in a drug store paper bag with scratch off tickets included? BRILLIANT. Calling me the VP of Fanny Pack Innovation in every email touchpoint? I'm 100% in.

Feel of product in first few minutes.

Loved the smell of the Classic Whip SPF 30. It feels a little sticky on my skin, but using it from the can is just such a fun experience. The unboxing is also so fun - the Vacation team has really built a little world around their products. The air freshener was a cool surprise with the package.
Feedback
The formula feels a little sticky, but it isn't bad enough to where I wouldn't use the whole can.
I am obsessed with this new whipped sunscreen formula! The smell is amazing and a little goes a long way. Definitely recommend.

I used the whipped sunscreen and was pleased with how easily it melted into my skin. The scent is nice, but I understand how one could think it is too intense. Fun branding and creative.
Feedback
While I enjoyed the whipped product, I think it's more fun than it is practical than a typical lotion.
This brand went above and beyond with its product by creating an experience. I really loved the air refresher they included with the cool sunscreen.
Feedback
There were a lot of mailers/useless papers within the packaging and I wish I could use this sunscreen on my face and body.

The OG body oil is perfection
I love this feel and texture of the whipped sunscreen. It's super light and dries with a powder-like texture, not too greasy and didn't leave a white cast. And super fun to use!
Feedback
Obviously, the spray can isn't really travel friendly but otherwise it's great!

The sunscreen was a very interesting formula, it smelled a lot better than other sunscreens and the whipped option is easy to apply
Feedback
I think because it was whipped it was pretty sticky for me to apply

The new classic whip is ridiculously fun. It actually comes out just like whipped cream I don’t think you’d actually be able to tell the difference. So fun to use and rubs in like a dream.
Feedback
The smell can be a little strong if you’re sensitive to fragrance, but I know the classic scent is part of the brand.

Playful and unique branding! I got the Class Whip and the texture/application is unlike any sunscreen products I've ever seen. It does look and feel like whipped cream. Made applying sunblock daily much more fun.

Fulfillment and shipping was super slow.

oh my lanta! first, how fun is the branding? the SMELL truly makes you feel like vacation even in your own backyard. I am ready to close out summer with this sunscreen!
Verified purchase
I love this product! Super cool and it smells soooo good. Not really practical though and a little on the expensive side to use regularly. But, it's fun for occasion and very cool idea. I love the old style branding and the attention to detail.
Feedback
Expanded rage of SPFs
It’s an effective sunscreen. I was hoping the fragrance would be more of a luxury scent. It’s not. It’s smells like any random sunscreen on the market. It’s obvious how much effort they’ve put into the brand identity and I want to love it. I probably won’t buy it again though. It does the job screening the sun it just isn’t anything special.
Feedback
Make the fragrance more interesting. I wish it was the Le labo of sunscreens.

I have only used the cream based sunscreens and the aftercare spray. The cream sunscreens help spray tans stay on longer compared to can sunscreens. I would recommend the sunscreens to friends and family.

Ordered the classic sunscreen along with a Vacation brand tee and a Poolsuite FM dad hat. Really really love this brand. Products are high quality and the vibe is so on point!
