Love the sun jug handle!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the Vacation Classic Lotion SPF 50 Sun Jug. The new handle is such a smart update and makes it incredibly easy to use, especially as a mom on the go who is constantly juggling kids, bags, and sunscreen applications. The formula itself is very hydrating, which was a huge plus for my VERY dry winter legs during my vacation to Palm Springs. It absorbed well without feeling greasy and kept my skin feeling comfortable throughout the day in the sun. I also really enjoy the scent, it feels nostalgic but not overpowering as I find with other higher spf sunscreens. Overall, this sunscreen feels both practical and luxurious, and it made sun protection effortless for my trip. Can’t wait to be back in the sun soon so I can use it again! **This review was collected as part of a promotion.

nostalgia in a bottle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] worlds best smelling sunscreen is right! I’m obsessed with the scent. It smells coconutty, with a hint of the classic sunscreen smell. Very tropical, not overwhelming and no chemical smell afterwards. I can’t wait for a beach day to use this all over. The texture is like a typical sunscreen but rubs in so smooth and doesn’t feel greasy afterwards. Just the feeling of a hint of lotion. It also leaves just a hint of sheen on the skin which will be perfect for the summertime glow. Overall I’m super impressed with this product although most importantly I haven’t been able to test out the sun protection factor since it’s currently winter. That’ll be the true test to see if it’s worth it. But from the smell to the feel to the cute pump bottle, this is like nostalgia in a bottle. **This review was collected as part of a promotion.

New favorite sunscreen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been dying to try a Vacation sunscreen because I love the perfume. The scent of this sunscreen is absolutely perfect-beachy and nostalgic. Many other sunscreens I’ve used in the past would wind up being really thick and wouldn’t absorb easily, especially the higher SPF it had. This Vacation sunscreen blended so easily into my skin and didn’t feel thick or greasy. The scent last for around 2-3 hours. I wouldn’t recommend for the face because of the scent but it’s perfect for the body. I can burn somewhat easily and this provides plenty of protection. The bottle is also adorable and has a carrying strap that doubles as a bracelet. Since I’ve been so happy with this product, I definitely want to check out their other sunscreen products. **This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Best sunscreen ever !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finding a sunscreen that actually works for my skin tone has always been a struggle for me but the Sun Jug has honestly been such a pleasant surprise! I found that it blends so effortlessly with absolutely no white cast, even when I use way too much. I love how this lotion feels super lightweight, smooth, and moisturizing without being overly greasy or heavy like other sunscreens . Which has made it that much easier to incorporate it to my daily routine . I found that my skin looks really healthy and glowy, and not shiny and sticky. I recently started putting it under my makeup and I noticed that it sits perfectly with no pilling at all. I also love that it doesn’t clog my pores or irritate my skin, especially around more sensitive areas. Plus, it smells amazing—without being overpowering. This sunscreen truly feels made with deeper skin tones in mind, and I’m genuinely excited to keep using it daily. **This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Amazing sunscreen, debatable sustainability
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This smells amazing! It's not overwhelming but a soft vanilla and banana scent. It's a very pleasant sunscreen smell that I don't mind wearing all day. The sunscreen itself doesn't feel tacky or heavy when wearing for several hours. It spreads on easily and sort of melts into the skin with just a little bit of rubbing in. It also washes off easily with some soap and warm water. It didn't leave any sticky residue or clog up my pores. I also approve of the bottle design itself, but wish it some aspects were recyclable (for example, the band that comes with it for carrying is clever, but not very recyclable. They also encourage people to "collect" more, but what are we really going to do with more bands?) Overall, really love the sunscreen! I just wish it didn't come with the band. **This review was collected as part of a promotion.
