Vacation wins praise in reviews for making sunscreen enjoyable to use—lightweight, non-greasy formulas, playful formats like Classic Whip, and transportive nostalgic scents—while effectively preventing burns for many users. Reviews also flag drawbacks: strong fragrance, occasional stickiness or oily feel, finicky spray/whip nozzles, smaller sizes that empty quickly, and concerns from mineral-only or “clean” ingredient seekers.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
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.

It reacted with my sweat or skin and made my arms really sticky which meant a lot of dirt stuck to my arms which wasn't great :(
Not oily like other SPFs! smells heavenly, texture is literally perfect

Not sure if it's as full coverage as I would like, but it's the best one I have

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.
Won't go in the sun without my Vacation SPF. I've only tried the classic lotion thus far, but am so impressed by the smell, the feel, the lack of a cast, and the coverage I get from it while I'd otherwise be cooking away.
Love the quality on these and the worked great
Honestly the small of the classic spray is the biggest draw of the sunscreen for me since I hate the smell of traditional sunblock. Otherwise, I think it's a pretty standard sunscreen which is at a slightly higher price point but not obnoxiously so.
Vacation sunscreen is an absolute dream! Not only does it provide top-notch protection with its clean, safe formula, but it also brings the nostalgic scents of coconut, banana, and pool water that instantly transport me to sunny beach days. The formula is smooth, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly without leaving any white cast, which is a major plus. I love how it makes me feel like I’m on vacation every time I apply it. It’s the perfect balance of effectiveness and indulgence—my skin stays protected while I enjoy the tropical scent. If you want a sunscreen that’s as fun as it is functional, Vacation is hands down the best!
Vacation Classic SPF is a game-changer for sun protection! It has a lightweight, non-greasy formula that blends beautifully into my skin without leaving a white cast. The subtle, nostalgic scent is absolutely heavenly and makes applying sunscreen feel like a treat. It’s hydrating and sits perfectly under makeup, making it a versatile choice for both beach days and everyday wear. Plus, the retro packaging is so fun and chic—it’s a sunscreen you’ll actually look forward to using. If you’re looking for effective, high-quality SPF with a touch of luxury, Vacation Classic SPF is a must-try. Highly recommend!
I love this brand- the marketing, the products, the vibe. I have the oil and spray spf and love both. The smell is divine too.

Love this sm! I initially bought this spray so I could apply sunscreen over my makeup and I was not disappointed. I love how lightweight and convenient it is. It also smells divine and the packaging is so cute. Def recommend trying it and seeing if it matches your skin and needs.

perfume is lovely.
I got the Vacation whipped SPF in a thingdrop and I LOVE it! The smell is heavenly and it melts into my skin without leaving any residue. It makes me want to use sunscreen.
