Title: GREAT TO USE FOR THOSE PESKY MOSQUITOS
Review: We have a new DAYTIME mosquito out here in California that is causing bites within minutes of stepping outside. You don't feel them until it's too late, and they are SUPER itchy once you are bit. I came across this when I was searching for effective products, and I bought 2!!! This is a lotion that goes on smoothly, is NOT greasy, and DOES protect as it claims. I've used it mostly in the mornings when I take my dogs out, and I suffered NO bites with this on my arms, legs, and neck. It has no chemical smell, washes off easily, and no after effects. I wish it were sold in stores, but since it isn't, it's why I bought 2 so I'd have it on hand.

Title: Highly Effective and Comfortable Insect Repellent for All Outdoor Activities
Review: This insect repellent has quickly become a must-have for all my outdoor activities. I love that it’s non-greasy and truly odorless, so I can wear it without feeling sticky or smelling like chemicals. The fact that it dries quickly means I don’t have to worry about it transferring onto my clothes or gear, which is great when I’m out hiking or camping.What really sets this apart is how effective it is. I’ve used it on long hikes and even while camping, and it’s kept mosquitoes, ticks, and flies at bay for hours. The protection is no joke, and I feel comfortable using it on myself and my family. It’s also a big plus that it’s safe to use on our outdoor gear, so I don’t have to worry about it damaging my backpack or sunglasses.Overall, this repellent is super reliable, comfortable on the skin, and perfect for any outdoor adventure. Highly recommend!

Title: Effective Protection with a Pleasant Texture
Review: It is a reliable choice for those looking to avoid insect bites. With 20% Picaridin, it provides effective protection against mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting insects, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking and camping. Users appreciate its lotion formulation, which is easy to apply and has a pleasant feel, without the greasy residue that some sprays leave behind. While it offers great protection, some users have noted that reapplication may be necessary after prolonged exposure to sweat or water. Overall, it’s a solid insect repellent for outdoor enthusiasts looking for comfort and effectiveness.

Title: Actually works!
Review: We had no luck with this exact same thing in spray formulation, even though it's highly-recommended—still tons of bites, and my toddler always cried when putting it on because she thought it smelled bad. She'd end up inhaling some of the spray and coughing, and it was just always a bad experience. This lotion is pretty much unscented, easy to rub in, and it actually works! Our mosquitoes in the SE US are no joke, and my daughter and I are both bug magnets who easily end up with 20 bites in five minutes, but this has really helped. We're not bite-free, but we're closer. The little bottle went further than I thought, but I am going to buy the big pump top bottle for next summer.

Title: Keeps the mosquitoes and no seeums away
Review: Works great keeping the bugs off. Was at a pool party on the bay in NW Florida and the bugs were driving everyone crazy. A friend had a bottle and shared with everyone. The biting stopped immediately. Works so good I ordered a bottle immediately. No harsh smell and works great!

Title: Works wonders!
Review: This is the first mosquito repellant that works for me. It is a lotion which makes it easy to apply as well as control where you apply it, unlike sprays I've used in the past. It is not greasy and does not have an offensive odor. It may seem expensive but a little goes a long way and is excellent at repelling bugs. I highly recommend this product.

Title: Not one single mosquito bite through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia & Vietnam
Review: This stuff works! I just spent over two weeks traveling through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam and did not get one single bug bite. I was afraid of getting bitten and ending up with dengue or some other disease, and I believe this stuff saved me. My trip included a day at Cambodia’s Angkor Wat temples and a day at an elephant sanctuary in Thailand, and the product held up. I applied it liberally on my whole body every day before leaving my hotel room, and reapplied with the spray version after I had been sweating or gotten wet. I also loved the fact that it didn’t smell and absorbed well.

Review: I love any mosquito repellent that doesnt have a scent! I rub it on my skin and it works perfectly. Without it, mosquitoes will eat me alive!

Review: I have a history of getting really severe allergic reactions from bites of all kinds. So an upcoming trip to Tanzania followed by a trip to Miami meant that I needed to find something that would minimise the risk of me getting bitten.I have tried other products that contain DEET, But always felt that this is a very harsh ingredient and something that I wasn’t super comfortable rubbing on my skin for extended periods of time.My mother-in-law suggested this is an alternative as she has issues getting bitten and having really severe reactions. So I bought a few bottles and hoped for the best.Well, I will say is that I didn’t have any bites while I was away and I use this daily in place of my usual moisturiser. I also used suncream on top, And did not use any perfume. Most days in addition to this, I used antibacterial wipes on my skin.I’ve continued to use this since coming back home (I live in the UK) Mainly on days where I know I will be outside or where my skin might be exposed to bugs. Fortunately, I have not had any bites this summer.This will continue to be a staple in my medicine cabinet and in my handbag to be on the safe side.Would recommend! They also arrived quickly, which help when I was packing very last minute before my trip. Thank you.

Review: As a total mossie magnet I bought this hoping it might stop me getting as many bites as I usually get! First day I got bitten 4 times at 4pm as hadn’t realise they came out to eat so early! But after that I applied this and no more bites! Not one. My daughter has also had no bites and usually gets bitten a lot also. Product has a slight smell but nothing like deet !! It’s a lotion that goes on nicely and no stickiness afterwards. Def will be buying every holiday from now on

Review: Smells nice & very moisturising, didn’t see a single mozzy on holiday so must assume it works 😂 can’t actually speak to the effectiveness but I would buy this to test again.
