My family just got back from a trip to Costa Rica. It's the wet season there now, and of course they have Zika, Dengue, etc., so I wanted to be sure I packed some good mosquito repellants to protect ourselves. Additionally, I'm a total mosquito magnet -- I once had a cloud of them follow me nearly 100 ft underground into a metro system and try to board a train with me :/I relied upon this lotion, a 25% DEET Off Deep Woods spritz product, and Sawyer 20% Picaridin. Of the 3, I'd say this one was my favorite for using during the times I needed the most protection and peace of mind. I'd use either of the other 2 products during the day - going to lunch, hanging out on the beach, etc., but when we would go to dinner around dusk, and especially on the day we took a riverboat cruise through a nature preserve / jungle type environment, I mostly used this lotion. (Granted I've heard that the zika-carrying mosquitoes bite during the day, and I'm sure that's true, but we saw many more mosquitoes hovering around dusk and after rainstorms than at other times.) I liked that I could control exactly where I applied it and get an even coat (sometimes I feel aerosol sprays miss some spots) + the fact that I didn't have to breathe in aerosolled DEET. Anyone who uses DEET should be aware that it is not safe for use on synthetic clothing, plastics, rubbers, etc. If I sprayed my feet with DEET and then put on my rubber-type pool flops, I'd get black dye rubbing off on my feet from the shoes as the DEET damaged the shoes a bit. I also had an expensive swimsuit and didn't feel comfortable spraying DEET on it, so in these cases, I'd apply the lotion where it was safe and then spritz the picaridin product anywhere else. Always apply sunscreen first and let it sink in for a few min, btw, before applying repellant on top of it.I was so relieved to find that these various repellants worked great together at keeping us protected. After 8 days in Costa Rica, I came home without a single mosquito bite (or if I have one, I haven't found it!); my son only got 1, 0 for my daughter, but 4-5 for my husband who was a bit laxer about repellant application. Very happy with this lotion!

I bought this cream to use for our 2 weeks in Belize. We took a couple other bug precautions, but I'm happy to report that we came home totally bite free after spending considerable time outside and in the jungle. To be fair I didn't see a lot of bugs around. But I did see plenty of people around with lots of bug bites.This cream doesn't have a strong smell once it is applied, which I really appreciated cause we put it on every day, including on our face and neck. I like the hole at the top it make it easy to clip to the outside of a backpack so it was easily accessible to put on. The easier they make it to reapply bug spray, the more likely I am to use it! Also because of the low smell (compared to sprays), I was able to put it on while riding in the car with others and didn't bother them. It's more convenient to put it on then trying to go away from the group and spray yourself down. This cream also went farther than we were planning on, so we ended up with extra left over, which is better than not enough.Overall happy with my experience with this and would be happy to continue to use it in the future.

I live with mosquitoes all my life & these mosquitoes are annoying but not life threatening. I know this product will work; however, I don’t use any products for mosquitoes b/c I don’t go outdoors if mosquitoes are bad. I bought this product b/c I’m traveling to a country where a past visitor said bring it. And so I will. I’m sure it will work, but I won’t know for sure until April.

I purchased this product for a trip to the Caribbean and Central America in the month of December. I didn't want to get the 100% Deet product as I was concerned about putting that high of a concentration of chemicals on our 7 year old daughter. However, when walking around in the jungles of Costa Rica, I also didn't want her bit by any mosquitoes (nor myself or my husband). This product worked wonderfully! We applied on clothes and exposed skin (with the exception of our face). We reapplied once due to the time we were out, and NONE of us had any bites. I was especially impressed, because I can't remember any time being in the woods etc in my entire life where I haven't gotten bitten (I have type O blood, and so they are naturally attracted more to me than the rest of my family). This particular product I used on neck and some parts of our heads, where the spray just wasn't safe to use.We did make sure to take off all our clothes and shower after we returned to our room after the day out. My daughter suffers from extreme eczema and has issues with it when it comes to sunscreen, but we had NO issues with this product. I highly recommend!

This product really works. I will never travel without it. It rubs in like a moisturiser and doesn't have that horrible deet smell. Really recommend
