Used the classic lotion in 50 SPF and loved it. as an Irish girl that only burns I would defiantly re-buy this. Feels super light weight and not greasy. packing it so cute. Didn't get burned while using and didn't feel gross after applying. The bottle lasted quite long for how much I typically use.

Works just fine... no issues... but my real reason for coming here to review is that coconut beach smell. I'm a sucker for that scent! I love it.

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.

Bought the orange gelee, and it immediately started leaking oil/grease out of the packaging after I opened it :( as a fellow product developer I’m disappointed and shocked they were able to launch this SPF as it’s immediately unstable in-pack. Smells and feels great but won’t be taking it anywhere anytime soon. Really innovative SPF offerings and I absolutely love the branding - a leaky oily unstable product is not acceptable in my book.

I mostly really like the lip oil. It’s moisturizing and smells really nice. It’s genuinely an oil and not a gloss trying to be moisturizing. The only problem is as I wear it it sneaks into my mouth and I can taste it on the back of my tongue and it’s not pleasant. So keep some gum nearby in case but other than that it’s really nice.

This is a nice non-greasy sunblock with an amazing smell. I will definitely be using a lot of this over the summer. The only downside is that it's a little more expensive than the ones I usually buy.

I love the smell and how easily applicable it is! Overall great product.

Wish that they sold a larger refill bottle so that i can cut down on plastic use/make it last longer or refill the bottles I already have. Also just in general to have a recycling program already set up to establish corporate responsibility for producing plastic to have it waste stream managed.

I absolutely LOVE this brand. The vibe is incredible and they hold true to the brand identity down to the receipt slip being on old fax paper. The sunscreen smells amazing, the cologne is nostalgic, and everything about it is so classic.

A brand this committed to leisure better have the products to back it up. They do. In Spades. I have used their sunscreen lotion and spray for several years now and everything else pales in comparison. I have gone so far to buy 3 of the candles and the lip balm collection. When leisure meets irreverence and comes out luxurious, you know you have a winner.

Vacation has some of the coolest branding. I was definitely swayed to purchase because of their retro vibe. So far I've only tried their classic whip sunscreen. I saw it on TikTok & needed to try it. All I can say is that a little product goes a very long way. Each time I sprayed it, it was far too much for me to use alone. I'd be curious to try more of their products

This is my FAVORITE sunscreen/body care brand! Suncreen works super well, packaging is gorgeous, and smells amazing. I actually even bought their perfume because I loved the scent so much! I've met their team and they're awesome, too. Branding is so rad, products are great - a 10/10 all the way. Highly recommend!

Vacation's Classic Spray was the perfect companion for a holiday to Tropical Brazil. It was incredibly easy to apply, fast to absorb and super light. I also didn't get at all burned even though I have pasty white skin. I also used the spray on my face (applied by spraying on my hand first) and it was one of the only sunscreens not to give me breakouts.

I think I'm in the minority here, but I actually don't love the Vacation signature fragrance 😬 I find it overpowering.

I can't get over this sunscreen! It smells amazing - think of childhood summer at the beach. A little goes a long way and the packaging is to die for! I've only tried the classic lotion now but I'm excited to jump on the chardonnay oil and the classic whip sunscreen soon.

Smells great, applies easily, and makes me nostalgic! Now I want the entire collection so I can relive my 1990s fantasy

I was really impressed with the smell and texture of the sunscreen! It wasn't greasy and went on well. The branding is obviously very cool and looks nice to bring around. I was a little surprised by the size of the bottle as I thought it would be bigger.
Feedback
My biggest feedback would be offering lotion in SPF 50 or something stronger. I'm also not entirely sure if the bottle is recyclable.
