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.

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.

Love the whipped cream sun screen
I first tried VACATION by Vacation (the perfume) and the scent absolutely brings me back to when I was a kid, swimming in the pool on a hot, sunny day and my mom would tell me to put on sunscreen (the banana boat kind). While I loved the perfume, I wasn't a huge fan of the spray sunscreen. It was messy and spilled all over one of my favorite tote bags when I went to the beach.
I have used vacation spray, fragrance, classic lotion, and face spray. The SMELL is fantastic. Each time I wore the product I received compliments on how good I smelled. For a face sunscreen spray, I find it often leaves me looking very greasy, but this was not bad. The lotion was great. I would like to try the whip and the oil in the future. I am on my second bottle of fragrance and will continue to repurchase.
Not sure why people love?! There are so many better sunscreen products out there, and this brand honestly seems gimmicky.
I hate a overtly long skincare routine Vacation is quick, easy and simple

Super innovative/creative packaging and product! Makes putting on sunscreen fun for all ages!
Cool look and feel, high quality, travel friendly, amazing website literally obsessed
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
