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
I recently purchased the Vacation Super Spritzer hydrating face mist and love it! It’s perfect to spritz on in the morning to wake up or during the day to refresh, especially as it’s getting hotter out. I also love the nostalgic branding!
Great Branding and packaging experience, they keep the 90s gimmick all the way to the invoice and that's something to applaud, not every brand has this kind of compromise with their concept, love the products, and the only reason I'm not rating with a 5 is that one of their selling points is the fragrance, and for me is not that present, definitely better than any coconut smelling lotion but I was expecting it to be stronger.

going strong on the fragrance (?)
Fun, nostalgic branding and great smelling, high performance SPF products. You can catch me in Vacation mode year round.
I was sold already by the packaging but they have the product to back it up. Their sunscreen reminds me of pool days as a kid and the whip cream format just makes it plain fun.
Have tried the Vacation Chardonnay Oil through a recommendation from a friend, and it is divine! Smells amazing and leaves your skin feeling amazing too. Will definitely purchase again!
I used in on holiday and smells nice and even my boyfriend like it he have really sensitive skin.
Smells great and works great. Its expensive for the size but very much worth it. A true classic.
Enjoy with this brand. I used in on holiday and smells nice.
The experience this brand has created is truly amazing, so that's what initially drew me to it. I've tried the Vacation eau de toilette and it really does smell like summer. Very fresh and nostalgic! My only gripe is that they should make a parfum version so the scent lasts longer. It is otherwise perfect! The Lobby scented candle is also really great and I want to get Suite and Pool Boy to complete the set. The air fresheners are also next on my list to try.
While I enjoy this brand so much—I was a user when they were just a web-based music app—I don't feel like the product beyond the fragrance is very effective.

The consistency and effectiveness of the sunscreen were sub-optimal. The cap allowed for leakage and the texture on the skin was thick and tacky.
Chardonnay Oil got me feeling like David Hasselhoff
Whoever I use this sunscreen I don’t get burned

The packaging is cute and nostalgic, the marketing copy is voicey and fun, the scents are to die for, and the formulas are amazing!

I tried their sunscreen in a whipped cream can, their lip balms, candles, sunscreen oil, and aerosol products. Loved all of them. The candles turned a bit smoggy and the sunscreen oil broke out my face but I’d just use on my body instead.
This product deserves 5 stars with their branding alone. The actual sunscreen is just as good! A delightful scent and perfect texture

LOVE the brand. Makes SPF fun for anyone (like my husband) who hates applying sunscreen. I got the whip and it was such a playful experience and the smell was super nostalgic.
Feedback
I would only use the product if headed out to the pool or a water activity. The smell was just too strong to use otherwise. I also didn't love that it was a chemical sunscreen. Finally, while the whipped cream applicator was super cute, I had a hard time knowing if I applied enough. It inherently held a lot of air and so if you didn't rub it in immediately it just kind of disappeared. So so fun but just not as practical.

I've only tried the Classic Lotion, but it has really lovely application, goes on smooth and rubs in fairly easy, and the smell is pure 90's nostalgia. The brand itself is a masterclass is going full-on into a theme, and I am here for it.
This is the best smelling sunscreen I have ever used! Great protection against the sun and it smells like the best parts of summer!
It smells SO good! I use it on my kid during summer season and its now my go to brand!
I love the Classic Whip product and it will be a staple in my beach bag. The texture is so light and fluffy but didn't leave any residue on the skin. It feels very luxurious when applying. Can't deny that the packaging is super cute, too.
Feedback
Semi-pricey for the size but it's an indulgence I don't mind making because sun protection is important.

I've tried the Chardonnay Oil and it smells INCREDIBLE, looks so good on, and doesn't feel greasy or sticky.

The packaging. The Chardonnay Oil leaks constantly
