Vacation reviews and discussion

Love the brand & the scents!

Purchased the spray can through a previous ThingDrop. Really loved the smell. It gets the job done too - no burns after a full day at the beach.

Love the brand and scent. The marketing and content is some of the best in the cpg space.

Incredibly fun branding and great product! I tried out the classic spray and I can tell its' going to be a staple. It smells great, applies well, has no white cast, and kept my very pale skin from getting burned during a hot day on the roof of my apartment. Love that it's reef safe! A winner!

I’m obsessed with this brand and their products. I’ve used the Classic Lotion and also have purchased the perfume and candles that match the scent 😂 The sunscreen does have a strong scent, but I personally love it. It makes me feel like I am at the beach. Their branding is pure nostalgia and is a big part of the appeal for me. The sunscreen does go on nicely and is easy to blend in. It isn’t as greasy as drugstore brands. They also have a companion radio app (Poolsuite) to help you keep the beach vibes going!

I've been a fan Poolside FM for years so when I saw that they were launching Vacation, I knew it'd be great. The smell reminds of vacationing in Wildwood NJ as a kid in the 90s. The classic lotion goes on very well and doesn't leave a white cast.

There’s lots of fragrance. It smells ok but none the less, the whole beach will know you put sunscreen on. Also, if you sweat with this sunscreen on and it gets in your eyes it burns like a mother. It DOES work well as a skin protectant though.

Really enjoy this brand, especially love the mineral sunscreen for use on my daughter. The formulas work well, the scents are great, and the price is right. Wish it was more readily available in Canada!

I really want to give this nostalgic brand 5 stars, but the bottle size leaves something to be desired. It feels more like a sample size or good for one tropical vacation, but not to last an entire summer. The whip was a fun gift to add to a tween's birthday basket.

The packaging for the body oil is SO BAD it leaked everywhere all over my bad and I could only use it once. The bronzing lotion stained my swimsuit and I don’t feel like it helped me get any tanner. Love their branding. Lip oil tastes weird.

personally purchased; used for 2+ years While not revolutionizing the sunscreen market with extremely effective level of UV-screens, or invisible cast, etc. this range of products manages to bring a nostaligia and fun to the application of its products (or it's candles). It's patented memorable scents, fun packaging and aesthetics harkening back to some fun "80s beach club that business men and families would frequent in Miami" vibes make it really easy to actually pick up off your shelf and remember to use.

Obsessed with Vacation sunscreen! Their Whipped SPF smells so good and I love the way it makes my skin feel. So much better than traditional body sunscreen!

Love the couple of products I’ve tried so far! Also such cute branding

one of the most well-branded brands! ever! and their products are great quality. I love the feel they bring to their products, their brand spirit. everything is very well thought-out! huge huge fan

Works as a great sunscreen for my face. The smell is great too!

Obsessed with this whole brand. Their products smell so good especially the candles. The packaging is so cute also. Such a vibe and makes you feel like you're at the beach.

Low ingredient, high quality products with some of the most delightful and consistent branding you'll see anywhere. I love their confidence almost as much as I love their products. If you're reading this, you should be wearing more SPF!

Obsessed with the smell and aesthetic of this brand!

I as so excited to use this brand, but I found the really strong cliche sunscreen scent off putting and did not use it once from the moment it was opened.

Super fun packaging. The nostalgia is what got my attention and if you're interested in trying, I snagged mine on discount from FabFitFun.
