Vacation earns strong reviews for making sunscreen genuinely enjoyable and effective, with lightweight formulas that blend cleanly, prevent burns, and deliver a nostalgic coconut-banana “summer” scent. Reviews also flag weaknesses: potent fragrance, small sizes that run out quickly, occasional packaging issues (leaky oil, finicky spray/whip mechanics), mixed experiences with mineral options and oil protection, and some users finding performance comparable to drugstore formulas.

I love every product I’ve bought from here. My favorite has to be the Chardonnay oil bc of the smell and how it leaves your body feeling after a shower. Amazing products, amazing smells, feels great on sensitive skin! Wish the oils came in larger sizes though!
The vacation oil is my favorite sunscreen! It has great sun protection, smells great, and makes my skin look so glowy!
Yes, its slightly more expensive sunsscreen but its a clean formula, smells amazing, and has really great packaging!!
Really nice texture and formula, but the smells were a little strong for me
I loved the whipped SPF, it brings the fun in protection. The classic spray also, very easy to use, quick application and absorption.
Verified purchase
the only sunscreen i've ever worn where someone stopped me to tell me i smelled good
Smell is divine. If you love a beachy scent then Vacation is def for you! I have repurchased many of their candles and love their classic lotion SPF. Only one point deducted since the candles don't burn the cleanest and sometimes smoke.

I bought the Eau de Toilette so I could smell the scent they highlight across their products. I agree the scent is very nice, nostalgic and summery - however the perfume was very strong, a light spray is way too much and a bit overwhelming to use. I'd recommend softening the scent a bit so it's easier to apply without smelling so strongly, but love the smell and design.
At first you can't help but think this brand is just all packaging and marketing but, it really isn't. The marketing/branding is just the icing on the cake. The products are very well formulated, very creamy and effective! They also smell lovely which is always a plus. I also have very sensitive skin and don't have any issues with any of their products on my body or face!

I wanted to love this brand bc of the adorable retro packaging and the scent, but their spf pilled up on me everywhere
I tried the Classic Whip SPF at a friend's pool party and it is so fun. What got me most was the incredible scent! I almost did want to eat it, haha. I'm not sure I'd buy it for myself because I go through a LOT of sunscreen and it's a little more expensive. But it would be such a fun gift.
I have tried several products from Vacation. I like their after sun care. It is very gentle on my skin. I love their sunscreens because they're very unique and innovative. They have fun packaging and product formats.
I want to love vacation because of their amazing branding and packaging but the classic lotion is just ok! It has a thick white film and smells a little too much like Pina coladas for myself!
Awesome branding and packaging, but their perfume had to grow on me. Wasn't a fan of the scent at first.
The perfume literally is summer. Every product in this line smells amazing and lasts a long time. I work at ULTA and the Perfume is always sold out!
THE. SMELL. It's honestly soooo incredible. It makes me feel like I'm on vacation everytime I wear it. THe classic lotion is great and spreads well, and the chardonnay oil is great to add on top. The perfume is sooo nice and I love smelling like I'm on a tropical vacation everytime I wear it. The Miami Vice style packaging is soooo cute and fun.

Oh my gosh, this brand just gives all the nostalgic feels. I have tried 3 products and loved them all. The perfume, face sprtiz and spray. This is just fun and the products are effective.
Love the Chardonnay oil and classic whip. Smell, application, and efficacy are all great, I just wish the price was slightly more reasonable.
I love all of Vacation's sunscreens but the sunscreen oils are their best keep secret! Chardonnay Oil and Baby Oil go on so easily, sink in to the skin, and smell amazing.
Vacation makes the absolute best sun screen I've tried. Not only do the products smell amazing, they work. Vacation also has the best packaging and have managed to make sun screen a luxe experience. The lotion is my go to, but I've also just picked up the face spray. Unlike other face sprays, it doesn't have a strong alcohol smell or burn your eyes. I'll absolutely keep buying Vacation for summers to come.
