Vacation reviews and discussion

First the branding is genius! I literally could not remember if it was a brand from my childhood. I got the facial spray. It is gentle on my skin which often reacts from sunscreen. It has a scent but it fades super fast. I love having it in my purse to reapply.

This is seriously the best sunscreen out there. The scent is what keeps me coming back -- I use the classic lotion, chardonnay Oil, the super spritz, and had to get the air freshener once I used the lotion. I vividly remember putting sunscreen on at the beach and having it be a miserable experience, but this brings back that nostalgic scent i've always loved but makes the application experience somewhat elevated.

I bought a pack of 6 of their Classic Lotion on a whim from a sample sale website after seeing this brand pop up on Thingtesting! I really enjoy the nostalgic packaging, application, and smell.

Making sunscreen fun again. As someone who grew up in the 80s, the nostalgia really got me-the scent, the packaging and I love how all of it takes me back to those days. That said, I am always looking for ways to wearing sunscreen a pleasurable experience and Vacation captures that. I’m a believer that whatever gets you to slather on the SPF and if it’s nostalgia or a great scent, so be it.

Smells fantastic and gives me so much nostalgia. It’s such a comforting smell is coconut and sunblock. It’s so smooth and non sticky. The fragrance is actually the best because you can carry summer with you all year long.

I’ve tried so many different sunscreens over the years, and Vacation has quickly become my absolute favorite. The formula is lightweight and smooth, so it goes on easily without leaving that heavy, greasy layer that a lot of other sunscreens do. It actually feels like a nice moisturizer instead of something I just have to put on for protection. I also love that it doesn’t leave a white cast, which makes it easy to reapply throughout the day without worrying about looking streaky. On top of that, the scent is amazing — it’s subtle but gives me that nostalgic, “on vacation” feeling every time I use it. I find myself looking forward to putting it on, which is saying something for sunscreen. I also appreciate the fun, playful branding because it makes sun protection feel less like a chore and more like part of a summer ritual. Overall, Vacation has nailed it for me: great texture, effective sun protection, and packaging that actually makes me smile. It’s the only sunscreen I’ve tried that I genuinely love using every single day.

Adore! The scent, the quality, the impeccable design and branding/marketing. Vacation actually works, looks great, and has one of the most unique positioning I’ve seen on any product in a very long time. The Chardonnay oil is lovely.

This has quickly become one of my favourite brands - excellent branding, smart packaging and unapologetic about leaning all the way into the vintage feel the brand offers. The products are brilliant too and everything in the experience is so well thought through.

I recently received the new Classic Whip SPF 30. The packaging is so adorable and could definitely be confused for actual whip cream except that the bottle is smaller. I have very fair skin so the SPF is smaller than what I would usually reach for but I find it the perfect amount for a 20-30 outdoor city walk. The experience of applying is what makes this product so fun! It sprays out just like whip cream and has an extremely light and airy texture. The smell is nice and light so it's not overwhelming. I appreciate that the expiration date is big and clearly marked.

I was fortunate enough to snag their spray sunscreen during a Thringdrop. I spend a lot of time outside and am always searching for a good sunscreen (bonus points for the nostalgic branding). The scent screams summer! I loved the easy application of the spray and it went on very smooth and not sticky. You'll definitely tend to use a lot more of it because it's a spray.

Why am I and everyone else obsessed with this brand! It’s just sunscreen- but it’s really hard to use anything else once you try it. I even used the Chardonnay oil recently thinking i would probably never use it but it smelled so good I use it daily on my legs and shoulders. It’s light weight and just so delicious smelling. All their products are Great. I wish there were more

The classic has just the right weight to it to feel like the sun screen is there without that heavy or greasy feelings. I wouldn’t jump right to it being a Dry sun screen, but it’s pretty close. When I saw the fragrance was “scent of summer” I was happy to find out it wasn’t a piña colada smell. I’m not sure what summer smells like but vacation scent of summer smells good and is pretty subtle

I was excited to receive the packaging first and foremost – the branding perfectly encapsulates the energy of the 80s, all the way down to the smell of the product. I was pleasantly surprised with how good it smelled! A mix of the classic sunscreen smell you know and love with a hint of coconut softening the whole experience. It has the nostalgia of the spray sunscreens you would use as a kid, but with better contents inside. Love it! Can't wait to use it all summer long.

This is good sunscreen. I bought the spray canister through a Thingdrop — it's finally beach season in New York, so I went to the beach with four friends, all of whom brought their own sunscreen. They all ended up using my Vacation spray. It smells good, it's convenient, the packaging is great...it's cool sunscreen. But now I'm out of sunscreen, because the five of us used it all up through multiple applications over six hours at the beach. I'd say this is the perfect sunscreen for a classy, curated day by the pool. Great for the beach as well, of course, but the branding screams "poolside," specifically "poolside in Miami." There's a clean nostalgia to it.

The vacation oil with spf is great if you’re looking for a lighter less sticky/ filmy feeling typical of most tanning oils.

I’ve only tried the Shake Shake Mineral Milk face sunscreen, so I can’t speak to the other products (yet). Overall, it’s super lightweight and goes on smoothly, which I appreciate for a mineral option! The smell is interesting… It’s not bad (to me) - kind of cucumber-ish - but it is pretty strong. That being said, I’d potentially repurchase and would probably try other products from them!

One of my favorite sunscreens ever. The formula is incredibly lightweight, yet feels moisturizing on the skin. Doesn’t leave any greasy, tacky feeling. That makes it a joy to apply! The scent also gives that coconut-y, holiday vibes, which is great when you’re on an actual vacation, but I wouldn’t really want to smell like that when I’m just out on a normal day in the city. Otherwise, love it and will continue to repurchase!

My first and FAVORITE Thingdrop ever! Got the Classic Whip SPF 30 which was packaged with some fun branded 80s designs and a car air fresher. The sunscreen is so fun to use (a little goes a long way!) and has blends so smoothly into your skin. The best part is by far the smell -- somehow has the exact smell of summers in Miami!

Vacation committed to the brand identity and packaging in the best way. So believably whipped cream, it starts its own conversations. Smells like summer in the best way possible. A really fun experience for something (sunscreen) I didn't know could be reinvented again.
