Vacation reviews and discussion

I purchased this sunscreen on a whim during a sample sale as it was a good deal. It ended up smelling amazing and I have now repurchased paying full price twice.

I was excited to finally try the Vacation Eau de Toilette and found it initially smelled great- A bit of sweet coconut and sunscreen but, throughout the day, it then fell to a strong musk smell that stayed as the other scents disappeared. I ended up returning the product to Ulta.

An oddly fun and nostalgic experience for sunscreen! I've tried the classic lotion and the classic whip products and for both have started making the process of putting sunscreen on enjoyable and seems to work well too!

Makes me feel like I'm on vacation in 1998, only without my pre-divorce arguing parents. 10/10 recommend.

Best branding and marketing experience in the game. If you're not on their email list you're missing out! Fave products: Chardonnay Oil, the spray sunscreen, the air fresheners.

I tried the spray, and found it... meh. Yes, the branding is cool and the smell takes you back a few decades. But otherwise theres nothing special about the formula and there are other brands I prefer.

Sunscreen is always a good thing to have on hand, especially during these hot summer months. I was very excited when I got the opportunity to try out Vacation since I had heard good things about it. I got a chance to try out their new spray bottle. In the first application, everything went well. It smelled great and was easy to apply. However, the second time I went to apply the sunscreen, the bottle slipped from my hand and the locking mechanism broke completely! I was very distraught since I had barely used the product and it had already busted. So I decided to let customer service know how easily the mechanism broke, and they actually sent me a whole other bottle free of charge! That was super amazing of them to do. And my new bottle works perfectly fine (I'm making sure to be extra careful with it). I use this sunscreen on my body whenever I have a daytime activity to do, and I have no complains with it so far!

I got the classic spray SPF 30 - it sprays on clear so no white cast left on skin. Super easy to apply. The whole customer experience(packaging/confirmation email etc) is super fun. The only thing I find is the smell to be a little too strong but I would still buy again.

smells great, works great and branding takes me back to my nostalgia happy place

Such a fun vibe! Even if you don’t need sunblock, the brand has gotten their marketing down so perfectly. The sunblock does smell good and isn’t gloppy. I would buy again just to get the packaging.

I haven't received my product yet as it's shipping to me in the UK - will update then. But my experience with the brand so far is exquisite. I just love the 80s branding and how fully they have committed to it. I got an email that looks like a fax! The website was easy to navigate and the prices seem pretty good. I'm really excited to try the sunscreen.

A review in three parts: Whipped SPF - 5/5 stars. I love the texture and non-greasy feel. It's got great coverage and held its own while I swam everyday in the summer. If I had to knock off any points, it would be that it's pricey for not a lot of product. Chardonnay Oil - 3/5 stars. I love it, it's a novelty, it gives me hot girl summer energy. But beyond the packaging, there's really not a lot that it does for me. It's lip oil that tastes a little like chardonnay. Shake Shake Mineral Milk - 4/5 stars. This thing is great! A little goes a long way, and it's effective. Not greasy and I combine it with my moisturizer for an extra dose of hydration. My only quip is that the packing can be a little leaky.

I’m seriously hooked on Vacation Skincare. These products have completely overhauled my routine, combining top-notch sun protection with a touch of luxury. The formulas are lightweight, non-greasy, and absorb quickly, which is perfect for my on-the-go lifestyle. The scents are incredible, evoking a sense of being on a beach vacation with every use. My skin feels protected, hydrated, and ready to face the day. Vacation Skincare has earned a permanent spot in my daily regimen—it’s the ultimate blend of functionality and nostalgia.

I LOVE this sunscreen. Smells amazing and the whipped cream texture spreads beautifully and is so fun to use. Only issue is it would be nice if there were more product in the cans for the price.

I love the product and the branding is obviously fantastic. Catch is that it contains phenoxyethanol, which is toxic for the blood and liver. I was bummed to see that given my excitement around the brand itself. Also contains fragrances, which you don't need in a sunscreen and isn't a highly regulated category.

Love every product I try, really brings back a nostalgia for the pool days. Personal favorite have been the oils and new spritz, but I especially love the fragrance. Cannot wait to get a full size and give as gifts. It's such a specific scent, but if you love coconuts, pool, beach, resort vibes in a smell, you will love this!

Love the retro feel, how it smells, and it definitely provides sun protection (I get burned easily). Yet, I did experience some problems.

Not oily like other SPFs! smells heavenly, texture is literally perfect

The entire family LOVED the whip cream version... the texture, skin-feel and the smell were all fantastic. The kids in particular insisted that this is the sunscreen they want to use from now on.

Great experience. Shipped quick and the products are all great. The scent really does transport me back in time. Great branding and packaging too. The surprises in the unboxing experience were also top notch.
