Q: Is this a proper sunscreen or a tanning gel?

submitted by Evie - 1 month ago
  • A: Our foremost mission as a humble corporation specializing in leisure and sunscreen is to protect our cherished customers from the sun’s harmful UV rays. As such, Vacation® Orange Gelée has been crafted to offer SPF 30 protection. While our sunscreen offers effective broad spectrum UV protection, some tanning may still occur with prolonged sun exposure or inadequate application.

submitted by MissionViejoMommy - 15 days ago
  • A: Thanks for reaching out! The original Orange Gelée® was discontinued in 2018, and we here at Vacation® worked with fans and experts to revive this product for you. In developing Vacation® Orange Gelée® SPF 30 Sunscreen Gel, we took comfort in the fact that the Orange Gelée® Advisory Board supported a formula featuring broad spectrum SPF 30. We even went beyond that, conducting a survey of 4,000 Orange Gelée® fans like yourself, and over 80% of respondents expressed a preference for a higher SPF. We’re proud to have been able to bring back a product that so many people were missing on the shelves for years, and do so with their help! It is our greatest hope that you will give Vacation® Orange Gelée® SPF 30 Sunscreen Gel a try, and allow it to transport you back to your favorite memories of using this iconic product!

Q: can it be used on the face as well?

submitted by Liz - 15 days ago
  • A: We've designed the majority of our Suncare products to be non-comedogenic, which means these products have been specifically formulated so that they will not block or clog pores. That said, these products were designed for the body so we suggest that’s where they stay. We recommend our made-for-the-face options for protection.

    Love this. Just didn’t intend to be on subscription so now I have two which I don’t need. Need to cancel asap so be aware when you order. Scent and texture are definitely reminiscent of Ban de soleil from my childhood.

    Disappointed

    This is sold as a reincarnation of Bain de Soleil Orange Gelée. Sadly, it is not. The texture is correct, but the smell is not, and that is what I have missed the most.

    Smells amazing, works great, but it stains

    Warning -it stains!!!! Smells amazing, brings me back, wonderfully moisturizing (a little greasy but nice to not dry) and seems to do well as a 30spf but, and this is a big but for me, it stains! I wore a brand new white bikini top and the straps and sides under my arms are stained orange. If you are wearing black or darker it seems okay as none of my other suits showed problems.

    Smells nothing like the original.

    Perhaps it’s because I am old enough to remember what the original smelled like, but this smells nothing like the original. It doesn’t even have a pleasant scent. Had to return it. Steer clear. These five star reviews have to be fake…

    FANTASTIC COMEBACK OF A GREAT PRODUCT!

    Your release of the former "Bain de Soleil" is a great success. Have used this product for many years and was so glad you found a way to bring it back. Your advertising and promotion of this product, and the entire line, has been fantastic. No doubt you are doing very well. Keep up the good work. Congrats to your advertising team for doing such as first class job.

    Can't Stand the Smell

    I fell for the hype and good reviews. It was a big disappointment as I can’t stand the smell. It smells like medicated balm. I got it on sale the regular price for this is ridiculous. I will return.

    Greasy and filled with particles.

    So so greasy on the face. I have some dry skin and this is still excessively greasy. 1/3 through the tube, I was feeling soft particles in the product and I doubt there’s supposed to be solids in the sunscreen. Causes a lot of pilling when worn over Mad Hippie Vitamin C serum. Probably great for the body for glossiness.
