Vacation reviews and discussion

Having spun out from Poolside.fm, Vacation has one of the coolest founding stories ever. The aesthetics and marketing are world-class. Was especially a fan of the unique merch that came with the pre-orders (air freshener & scratch ticket - see my photo 📸!). When I ordered Vacation I didn't expect the quality of the product to be amazing, I just wanted to support the company and its coolness. While it ain't no Supergoop, which I still prefer, it's a good sunscreen. Doesn't feel greasy, no breakouts. Not a huge fan of the coconut scent, but I guess it's kind of part of that Miami vibe 🏝

Mine is a different scent one but didn't see it listed here. Transport me to: When spraying grand cuvée on my skin, it didn't transport me to a typical beach scene, like their sunscreen-scented products. Grand Cuvée leans toward transporting me to a sophisticated champagne brunch or a sunset rooftop. Scent: When using Chardonnay oil, from the first spritz, it opens with a nice burst of citrus, imagine chilled prosecco kissed with mandarin. I find I enjoy the scent more once the oil settles and dries down after about 30 minutes of wearing it. When I first spray it on, it’s on the strong oak side because of the cognac and amber. I prefer it once it settles because it transforms into a delicate blend of light florals and soft white peach. Wear time: Longevity can vary for each person, but for me, it lasted for almost six hours. In my opinion, I think that is a good amount of time because some perfumes only like to last for one to two hours.

Sometimes the smell of sunscreen is too tropical or too chemical. Vacation was like a breath of fresh air! I loved the smell and how easy it was to apply.

The spray lotion smells like the '80s and I mean that in the possible way. And, it gives great coverage and protection. It does not feel greasy or sticky. I love, love, love this sunscreen.

I've gotten a lot of samples of this brand for free at various events. The nostalgic packaging is super cute and the sunscreen is definitely effective as I've never gotten a burn while using it. Wish the ingredients were cleaner though

I love this brand and their products so much! I use the whipped sunscreen, and it's not only fun to put on, but it's so light and airy that it barely feels like I'm wearing sunscreen. My 2-year-old nephew also loves it!

I tried the classic lotion and spray. Neither absorb into your skin so well. When I started sweating, it ran into my eyes and burned. I didn't put too much on, and haven't experienced that with more "normal" sunscreens I've used in the past 🤷‍♂️

The packaging I liked. Classic WHIP. Shook the bottle and touched the nozzle to get a ping pong ball size in the palm of your hand. I loved the smell of the product. Besides the smell, I also liked when putting it on your skin there was no greasy feel.

Charming sunscreen I picked up during a ThingDrop. It is exactly what it says it is--an updated version of the classic sunscreen many of us remember as kids. The spray seems to adhere to one's skin quickly and easily, so I don't feel like I am wasting tooooo much like with many other spray sunscreens. As someone who LOVES a sunscreen smell, I am into it.

This brand is my absolute obsession, are you kiiidddding me! I bought almost everything in their collection last summer and I brought the minis with me to Greece because I couldn't do without them. The branding is epic and the quality is unmatched. The whipped sunscreen is my fave and it feels amazing on the skin. The smell is divine and leave my skin soo soft.

Ok. If you want to feel Like you’re on vacation while at your 9-5… Or while you’re stuck in traffic, or even while you just shopping at the grocery store??? Well, this is it! I’m obsessed! I use the lotion and spray on the perfume and I’m instantly happy. It literally feels and smells like you’re sitting at the most relaxing beach or laying poolside! I recommend it and love by it! My new go To summer scent! Ps. Packaging is so pretty!

Sunscreen is a YES, perfume is a no. First the positives — the sunscreen is sooo fun. It smells amazing and nostalgic and I love whipping it out of my beach bag. I love how creamy it goes on, and I’m a sucker for unique packaging. It’s a little bit expensive, but I’m excited that I’ve been seeing it in CVS now! A lot more accessible for me to repurchase. Now the perfume – when I sampled it, I initially loved it, but wearing it I feel it’s lacking depth. It has more of a cheap body spray scent to me. This is something I would repurchase, but is fun if you have a sample or travel size.

So much fun and don’t eat it! It a whipped sun tan sunscreen that looks like cool whip. It’s easy to use and apply. Love it. Great texture and smells good.

Love the fragrance and the feel. I’ve used the Orange Gelee and the whipped lotion. Both leave my skin feeling soft and smelling good. The fact that I can say that AND they are a good SPF is a bonus! I’m on my third tube of the Orange Gelee and I just started using it this summer. Love it. Update- don’t buy this for the beach. lol sand sticks to it like crazy. But boat or swimming pool- awesome!

I absolutely love the Chardonnay oil. It is a great SPF especially if you’re going to the beach or something. But I just love the scent of it. It smells so good. And the packaging is so cute and really vintage 80s looking and I like to keep it out on my vanity looking cute

Everything is so thought out with this brand, it’s insane. They send you little goodies and coupons with your order, so fun, and the sunscreen is great - a little goes a long way so I’m hoping the bottle lasts me a while! Obviously the whip isn’t the most convenient shape but the novelty of it is awesome and fun.

I knew I would love this product from when I saw it because of the concept. But when I got in person I loved it even more because it spreads easily and it gives you a glow. There is a scent but it isn’t too heavy.

The days of big sunscreen lounging around waiting to be disrupted are over. An even more leisure-minded underdog is here and this product kicks @ss. Form factor and packaging are lovely. The future of leisure has never been creamier. Especially liked the way the top pops off with a flourish.

I LOVE the packaging and branding for Vacation products. I just received the whipped sunscreen and the packaging is so clever. It smells amazing and came with an air freshener and two scratch off tickets.

I've been a fan for a long while, ever since the early days with the first iteration of the Chardonnay Oil. Vacation takes seemingly mundane sun products and elevates them to a pleasant, vibey experience that feels more luxe and more enjoyable than anything in the space. The Chardonnay Oil is the most surprising of the products I've tried, as it's silky and effective while moisturizing and yet somehow still avoiding the greasy feeling that you'd expect from similar products. I also love the Classic Whip sunscreen - it's just damn fun.
