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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
THE BRANDING IS AMAZING! The formulations are also great but they 1000% killed it on the packaging. It has a nostalgic element to it while also being very chic. I have 4 of their products and I would love to expand my collection.

Tried the sunscreen and was let down. Liked the smell but almost instantly it started pilling after I applied it. Could not use after 2-3 uses with other options in the market
The best smelling sunscreen out there! Love the branding and the actual product is brilliant. Have used both the sunscreen and the oil - love!
I purchased the Vacation sunscreen inside of a Nordstrom store and it was definitely an impulse buy. I’d never heard of the brand but the packaging was so cute and it smelled so good! I just wish the bottle were larger and a better value for the price because we should all be slathering sunscreen on and everything but the price makes me want to with this brand.
love that this makes SPF fun... very tempted to eat it. like, every time. Also love the air freshener that came with my bottle of whip!!

Love this brand – they're cheeky, fun, nostalgic and on-point with their products. I have a lip balm and a candle currently (bought as the weather turned cold last fall), but will be stocking up on summer essentials in the next few weeks based on the scents and formats they offer. The combination of scents is gorgeous and the product formats are very fun. After reading a few more reviews, I'm so happy to hear others think so too! I would definitely recommend this brand, and I'm glad their (kind of) cult following is catching on!
A summer in a bottle. ✨ Silky, smooth and non-greasy. Smells amazing too.

Their retro branding is what got me interested in this SPF, but the quality is what keeps me coming back! I have their original SPF 30 sunscreen lotion and love the smell. It’s very nostalgic.
this is the sunscreen i can no longer live without… it is a vacation in a bottle and also, is perfect to bring on vacations
The whipped sunscreen is my new favorite! Super fun product design and the product works extremely well!
I purchased the classic whip after seeing it on tiktok. I love the fun design and it is easy to dispense. Use a gentle hand when pressing the nozzle as a lot comes out quickly. The whipped texture allows a little to go a long way and makes it easily spreadable. I also use this on my face periodically and does not clog pores but gives a nice glow to the skin without being sticky. My only complaint is the nozzle does tend to get a little messy and product dries in the nozzle which can be annoying.
Love the Chardonnay oil!

Post Bain de Soleil (RIP I’ll never forget you) this is the best sunscreen on the market. Simple, no frills, works great, smells terrific, fits in any beach bag effortlessly, is cool. It’s just perfect. Love the perfume too.

This smells like my childhood summers on the lake with my family in the best way possible. Pros: heavy nostalgia. Cons: Their mineral sunscreen gives a pretty solid white cast. The fragrance is synthetic and intense. It's probably not safe for everyday use (this is coming from someone who doesn't use chemical sunscreens, so take that as you will). Even so, I'm still tempted to purchase the perfume because the scent is so nice and really takes me back.

I love the Vacation scents sooo much - especially the champagne oil. Products work well and are decently priced, but not the lowest.
Great product I highly recommend
For a mineral sunscreen this rubs into the skin very well. Love the fun retro branding.
CHARDANAY OIL !! Best tanning oil, doesn’t leave you sticky or oily , great feeling and left a great tan! Also spf , so I was getting a 2in1 NO SUNBURN 🤭

Truly a classic! The Classic Lotion goes on smoothly / not sticky.
Purchased the whipped cream sunscreen at ulta beauty. Not only is the sunscreen can exactly like whipped cream but the sunscreen is better then most other sunscreens. The branding on the website was also super well done and I'm excited to see what they produce next.

Definitely looking forward to trying more of Vacation's products and using the sunscreen on a hot summer's day.
