Picky Husband, He Loved it Highly Recommend
This works great and can be applied evenly to your skin. Odor free and no leftover Bug repellent yuck stank, no shower required after use. Highly recommend and will definitely buy next season.

No Bite
This stuff works!! Went to a 8pm adult backyard cookout, I slathered this stuff on, everyone was slapping themselves even though they had the candles, bug lights & firepit going, I didn’t get bit not once!!! I told them to buy this stuff cause it works. I only applied it once I thought I would have to apply it again while I was there. Read the instructions, it will tell you the best results. I bought some for my SIL, he like to be outside a lot.

Super Effective and low odor
This mosquito repellent works so well. It kept bugs away without needing to reapply constantly. I really appreciate that it doesn’t have a strong scent and feels light on the skin. A little goes a long way, but be careful—it comes out quickly, so it’s easy to use more than you need. Definitely recommend.

From Skeptical to Sold
I found this product from a TikTok recommendation and almost didn’t buy it because I usually only use spray repellents. I was very skeptical about a cream. I am officially eating my words. When I tell you this is the best insect repellent I have ever used, I am not exaggerating. You do not need a lot at all. It is not a lotion. A tiny amount goes a long way. I rubbed a small dab between my hands and applied it to my arms and legs and that was it. No bites. None. I was basically invisible to mosquitoes. It feels secure without being greasy, heavy, or overwhelming, and the controlled-release formula clearly does its job. This is now my go-to repellent and I will absolutely be repurchasing. Final note because it matters: you truly only need the tiniest amount. Rub it on your hands first, then apply to skin, and you are good to go. Definitely recommend.

Leaking when received
The item was wrapped with plastic but still leaked. There was no tape around the top so it loosen up. I lost 1/4 of the product. It say that it's odorless but there is an odor on my hands from cleaning off the bottle. Hopefully you can see how much is left inside the bottle.

Minnesota Approved!
As the state bird for my beautiful state is the mosquito, I'm all in when it comes to a decent mosquito repellent - and this one doesn't disappoint. I've also used the Off brand lotion, it's also good. But I lucked out being able to get this brand at a much reduced price. It's very effective, and I much prefer lotions to sprays. Why on earth don't more companies make mosquito/insect repellent lotion? I can't even find any in the stores, and trust me, I've looked. There is also little to no scent to this, no sticky residue - an added bonus. I'd also like to give yet another shout-out to the mosquito repellent wristbands by Cliganic, they're an excellent product. Often I just wear one of these, unless it's dusk when the mosquitoes are having a warplane swarming contest. Anyway, this lotion is a good product and I will definitely purchase more.

Life saving
I'm a mosquito magnet! This lotion has made my life bearable during mosquito season, which has become longer due to climate change. I was getting bitten indoors (as well as outdoors) because a few mosquitos manage to get in the house and they always find me! I put this on all exposed skin (except my face) every morning, and it keeps me from getting bitten all day. It may not last quite as long as promised (11 hours), but lasts almost all day. It is unscented, but has a faint odor of deet, which isn't too bad.

Excellent. No smell from this product. Applied under sun cream and had no bites at all.
