Vacation reviews and discussion

Absolutely love the branding! The sunscreen smells like my childhood and brings back memories, but it can be somewhat overpowering sometimes. My favorite is the whip. Update: my new favorite is the face stick! It’s so good. Clear, no casting, super light weight and protects well. Super happy and already got 2 more

Great brand

Maaaan do I love Vacation by Vacation. I wish it hadn’t blown up it popularity, as I was rocking the perfume very early on. Oh well, it’s a tantalizing scent! I’ve never tried the sunscreen surprisingly. I have very sensitive skin, and any product which includes even a mildly comedogenic ingredient (surely every sunscreen they offer) is no good for me. Also… my first bottle of perfume completely busted very quickly. The clear gem-looking piece is just a chunk of plastic sitting over the metal. Detaches easily. I also managed to drop the bottle and had the whole thing shatter… leaving Vacation by Vacation to soak into my floorboards, but hey, it smelled nice. Not necessarily keen for the recent brand crossovers and features. Felt like Vacation’s brand was strong enough on its own. Additionally— maybe that’s changing. Early on, their website was hilarious. Very creative and featured a lot of easter eggs to click on. All the photography was edited so as to look vintage. Now… product and model photos are crisp and modern. Not seeing as many kitschy features. And I’ve seen somewhere the creator or perfumer is a NFT guy, so there’s that. Overall, I love smelling like bananas, coconuts, sunscreen, and swimsuit lycra… so I’ll stay sopping up Vacation by Vacation from my floorboards if that’s what it takes. p.s. I had reached out to support once inquiring about their return process for the candles. I’d love to try their other scents. But their answer wasn’t clear at all on whether I’d be able to return unused candles. How am I supposed to know whether I like it?

Love the Whip sunscreen. So easily to apply and doesn’t go everywhere like a spray. I buy it every summer now.

Have every product. Love the smell, love the branding, love the consistent storytelling across product,

I returned this as soon as I saw it wasn’t SPF 50 + In Australia we must all use SPF 50+ otherwise we would all get skin cancer.

I used the mineral sunscreen and I absolutely loved it. I was travelling and needed a body sunscreen in a pinch - the other mineral sunscreen I tried was so hard to spread and left white patches everywhere. The Vacation sunscreen blended with so much less effort. I purchased it for the clean ingredients but I’ll keep buying because of how well it works.

This sunscreen is amazing! It's not overly greasy, and smells really good. The only drawback is that it's a bit more expensive than other sunscreens.

I have loved most of the products I’ve tried from Vacation. Smell is amazing. The spray in particular is really nice to use. My one issue is with the face spritz which I think is too sticky. Other than 10/10.

I've tried the Oil, Lotion, and perfume and have to say I love Vacation products. The perfume smells like 'Pool Club Rich Lady' in the most nostalgic way.

Love the branding, packaging and marketing! It’s super engaging and aligns with what I think beauty and lifestyle brands should be aiming for now. The signature scent isn’t exactly my cup of tea but I can say its description is spot on. Of all their products, I’m loving the Super Spritz because it’s small enough to grab and go and has a fine mist, although, again, the scent isn’t my favorite.

Amazing products and great advertising! Normal sunscreens break me out and clog my pores, but so far with 'Vacation' I have only had good experiences!

I don’t really like the beach, but I do enjoy the smells of the beach. Enter Vacation. All the smells of the beach without the hassle of the sand and sharks. Why go on vacation when you can have Vacation on you?

I really enjoyed this sunscreen. Great smell, reef safe and the whipped texture actually makes it easier to apply. The only downside to me is the cost for how long it lasts. Otherwise, great product.

I used the SPF 30 yellow cap tubed lotion this summer. As a medical aesthetician, I loved it. The smell didnt linger and it did not give me a "chalky" look. Would definitely use other products in the system!

Not only is it the best smelling sunscreen out, but it goes on nicely and doesn’t leave a white-cast that has you looking insane.

I have the perfume and it's such a good summer scent, it's so nostalgic just like the branding!

Products are really good and generally I tend to use them. But the classic lotion doesn't absorb as fast as I would like and at the beach i don't like using products that are not super fast absorbing. Apart from this I like them overall

Aside from the obvious fun retro packaging, this brand creates products that actually deliver. One of a kind yet nostalgic scents and formulations AND safe skincare practice in mind. The chardonnay oil and classic whip are personal faves.

It perfect for body sunscreen it applies very clear and not at all oily which is big pro for me especially during summer. Definitely recommended
