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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I am completely obsessed with the entire Vacation line, and the Classic Whip SPF 30 fits in perfectly. The branding is one of the biggest selling points to me, and Vacation really nails the 90’s nostalgia vibe. The whipped sunscreen feels almost like Cool Whip and applies very light and non-greasy. It smells like the other Vacation sunscreen I have: pineapple and coconut and beach days. I can’t wait to bring this to the next pool party! The unboxing experience is rad too — the scratch off tickets with discounts on future products, the air freshener — ALL OF IT. It is such a fun and cohesive branding moment.
Feedback
My only feedback would be — though great for traveling — the size/amount seems very small. I’ve only used the can once but I am a little concerned I won’t get many uses out of it.

Love the design and feel of the products. The scent is as great as they say if you love sunscreen, and the formula seems to work on sensitive skin!

I wish the SPF were higher, but it’s still pretty good.

Their products smell soooooo good and are all so light, I love the classic sunscreen as it applies nearly invisibile, but the baby oil is also really fun and the scent is completely unreal. I keep the face spray in my purse all summer.

I've tried the Classic Lotion, Chardonnay oil, face spray, and baby oil. I also have the sunscreen stick. I really enjoy the pure nostalgia smell of the classic lotion. It's a little on the thicker side and takes a while to rub in, but I feel that like helps make sure you have good coverage. The Chardonnay oil and baby oil are quick to put on and don't seem to leave nasty residue on clothes. I prefer the smell of the Chardonnay oil to the Baby oil. Both leave your skin with a subtle shine, without feeling like a grease ball. I am very careful not to let either make contact with my hair though, as it seems to damage it a little. I think of the four products I've tried, the super spray is just not for me.

Used the classic lotion in 50 SPF and loved it. as an Irish girl that only burns I would defiantly re-buy this. Feels super light weight and not greasy. packing it so cute. Didn't get burned while using and didn't feel gross after applying. The bottle lasted quite long for how much I typically use.

Vacation has won me over with its charming, nostalgic vibe. The '90s-style branding and packaging are a delight, and the brand's identity is well-executed. Nevertheless, I'm a repeat customer thanks to the overall enjoyable experience.

I was so incredibly impressed by the products that I’ve gotten to try from Vacation. Especially their unique whipped SPF. It’s so much fun to apply suncare with it, and it’s unlike anything else I’ve seen on the market. Plus the brand offers fun scents so we aren’t estuvo with the traditional smell a lot of us associate with SPFs with Vacation.

I have their facial SPF and their spray body SPF. The scent is intoxicating! It keeps my skin protected from the sun and moisturized. I would LOVE to try more from this brand! I was introduced to this brand from FabFitFun.

The branding of the sunscreen is amazing, I love the packaging and aesthetic of the brand. I I've only purchased the classic lotion SPF 30 but I'm a big fan. It has a thicker consistency than some sun lotions I've used but it rubs in very well and gives me good coverage. It smells great but I do think it's a bit overpriced but to be fair I think most sunscreens are these days but I suppose that's a conversation for another time.



I was influenced into trying the whip sunscreen and it did not disappoint! You don’t need a lot to cover your face and rubs in without leaving white tone on face. Put it on before applying makeup and makeup laid nice over. It also smells delish!

I am super pale and have very sensitive skin but I LOVE to travel and be outdoors! Needless to stay I struggle when my golden skinned girlfriend and I go on vacation together. Vacation SPF is a life saver and actually smells so good :) pairs perfectly with my beach resort mai tai! I caught a little tan using both their spf 30 and oil too!

Classic beachy summertime scent that is uplifting and familiar. Tried the chardonnay oil and the spray bottle. Scent on the oil was much more subdued then the spf spray bottle fyi. Enjoyed the scent so much I went through the bottle in a month in NYC
Feedback
Would purchase again over the generic brands found in stored based on scent and packaging. Label faded on the oil bottle.

Definitely a cool product, original idea, and great packaging concept. The smell is amazing, not the stereotypical tropical scent but rather something that feels more elevated and curated. It is thicker in consistency when compared to other sunscreen lotions, but it leaves the skin soft and not greasy.

I wish I had more control over the amount of product I get from each pump. Sometimes a little bit came out while others more than I needed came out, which caused a bit of waste.

Huge fan of this brand’s vibe! Being in Miami I love the retro look of it and their products are great. I have used their sunscreens as well as perfume - always get a compliment when I wear it. Finally tested the new whipped sunscreen and love it. It had that beachy scent which may not be for everyone but I personally like it. Was really surprised by the formula, because of the packaging and mousse-like texture the product was very spreadable and sunk right into the skin - no stickiness at all. Also just incredibly fun to use!

I tried the Vacation Inc. signature summer scent. The scent is really light and fruity, with the pineapple note being the dominant note on first spray. It didn't last particularly long, and after a few hours the scent was pretty much non-existent. The packaging is really cute though, and their branding is top tier.

I would work a bit harder on the products themselves, instead of just having fun branding.

i am obsessed with the overall vibe of the brand! the brand identity is cohesive throughout their whole product line. everything smells exactly what you think it would smell like!

It’s fantastic. I love Vacation whipped sunscreen because it’s easy to apply, has nice smell and so creative. I love how IT WORKS and protects my skin

I like the non greasy formulation and how soft my face is with each use. Vacation Classic Lotion glides on smoothly on the face and body. This sunscreen product is water resistant for up to 80 minutes. It is always best to remember reapplying. My sensitive skin did not burn using broad Spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen. This tube is travel sized so do not forget SPF, you can throw it in your purse for on the go sun protection. The formula is smooth, easy to apply, and not greasy at all. The scent is amazing! This sunscreen blends well on the skin and also has a classic summer scent of coconut oil and banana extract.

I've been using the Classic Spray SPF 50 for about a year now, and I love it. As they proudly tout, it smells incredible. I'm a sucker for an interesting brand experience that feels delightful, fresh, and unexpected — all of which Vacation achieves with the perfect dash of kitsch. Went to some cold water springs in Texas today and got to experience the nostalgic glory of Classic Whip. Loved it even though I accidentally sent a stream of whipped sunscreen all over my beach towel due to poor aim prep on my part whilst trying to get the clip. I'll continue to be a Vacation sunscreen devotee. All this said flagging that I didn't apply my Classic Whip today until after I swam in the natural springs because was unsure if the formula is safe for marine life. I will use a mineral/reef safe sunscreen when venturing into natural bodies of water to protect their lil ecosystems (and my skin), but will continue to be a Vacation devotee otherwise.

The Classic Whip, Classic Lotion, Super Sprtiz and Chardonnay Oil are some of my favorites! Vacation offers such a fun take on sunscreen and so many different options!
