Vacation wins raves for making sunscreen enjoyable, with reviews praising the nostalgic, “best-smelling” scents, clever Classic Whip mousse, and formulas that apply smoothly without greasy residue or white cast; many say the products “work” and prevent burns. Reviews also flag drawbacks: strong fragrance, SPF levels that feel too low for some, uneven spray mechanisms or leaky oil packaging, occasional eye sting/pilling, and portions that feel small for frequent use.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
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
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
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.
