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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

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

  • First of all, the branding is incredible. The classic spray smells good and doesn't leave the skin feeling sticky. I also love that the SPF is high at 30 but not too high

  • Super Spritz is the only spf mist to not burn my eyes! They kill it with branding and curating an awesome summer vibe too

  • Já quero o meu! Aposto que o cheiro é delicioso

    Influencer for Vacation
  • I really loved the smell and feel of the Classic Vacation Lotion. It went on really well and didn't feel greasy or sticky. I think it's a great size too. It can easily fit in my tote bag when going to work or the beach. I do try to get higher SPF normally, so I might opt to try something with a higher SPF next time, but if you're looking for SPF 30, I'd recommend it. I'd be curious to try the one in the whip cream shaped bottle-seems like a great gift idea!

  • 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

    Received a free product from Vacation
  • 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.
