Wow its fantastic
This is brilliant, and my second order. I get absolutely covered with mosquito bites, have awful reactions to them, and have done for years. Went to Vietnam this year, got there early evening and, after 24hrs traveling forgot to use it, got bitten 5 times. I didn't forget again for the next 10 days and only 1 bite in all that time .Back in the UK, my husband who works outside and never gets bitten by anything, got loads of bites from horseflies one day, he went back to the same place next day with the cream on and not one bite. I cant reccomend it enough

It actually works 100%
This stuff is brilliant, I get eaten by every bug on this planet, especially mosquitos. This completely stops them in their tracks. If there is an area you have missed they will find it on me. It soaks in quickly and as a lotion you can be sure not to miss an area unlike spray. Lol it also repells partners 🤣 as it tastes disgusting. highly highly recommend

Pretty decent stuff
I was in an area with dreaded tics. This product works well and I don't know anything about picardin the active ingredient. But it made me think of captain Picard fending off the tics with next generation technology. Hopefully it's less dodgy on the human skin than old school permethrin products. I didn't sense any harm and had no tic klingons

Stopped midges
Stopped Scottish midges from landing and biting the exposed skin. Other insects did bite, so not 100%Nice non smelly or sticky lotion.Two adults usage, every day for a week and still have some left over.

If you’re have an allergy to bites, this stuff has made my holiday bite free!
PERFECT!!! As someone who has an allergic reaction to bites (mosquitos and horsefly’s) and require antibiotics to take on holiday and again when I return, this for me, for the first time in about 15 years has made my holiday a pleasant one. I didn’t receive one bite on my 7 day holiday to Gran Canaria.. the bottle is quite small but one bottle did last me the entire holiday and I covered myself head to toe in it (including my face). TIP: Put your suncream on first, wait 15-20 minutes and then apply this. Reapply every time you reapply suncream.

Coffee and mosquitoes!
Cannot believe how good this product actually works!!!I was in Colombia in Calarca visiting farms on a coffee buying trip. While visiting one farm I was very aware the farmer and his wife were talking specifically about me. Afterwards my colleague, who is Colombian, explained to me that they had asked why I wasn’t being ate alive by mosquitoes like normal foreigners!You cannot say a lot more than that!

It actually does work!
I actually think this stuff works! I’m a keen gardener based in the south of England and this summer have been eaten alive by mosquitoes and midges, even after spraying 50% deet. I read that this can work even when deet doesn’t and so decided to give it a go. It is a lovely moisturising cream that does not feel like it has any chemicals or nasties in it. Kind of like putting suncream on! I have now used it for the last couple of weeks especially at that 6-7pm danger time in the garden. Touch wood, but currently I have to say that I have no bites. This is in contrast to losing sleep every night through the itch/scratch/itch cycle previously from all the horrendous bites I had. I really do hope this product continues to work in the way it has so far, fingers crossed! I do recommend it.

Zero protection
Is like I’m wearing nothing, insect attacked us as usual,

Very effective
Very effective in warding off insects, including sand flies, more effectively than DEET

Tired of buying 100's of cans of DEET. Buy 1 quart of this instead.
This stuff is awesome. We purchased some waterfront land on the ocean in Va. and have an off-grid camp set up while we slowly build and upgrade the property into our eventual retirement home/farm. The tick, mosquito, fly and gnat populations in this area are insane. I despise ticks especially since one tried to kill me by infecting me with tick fever when I was 5 years old and another gave my son Lymes Disease and put him in intensive care when he was also 5. Both of us were sent to John's Hopkins as 5 year olds because of ticks.I also hate bugspray. It's expensive, the cans of spray don't last long enough and if you leave them sit they'll eventually become empty on their own so stocking up doesn't help much. I started looking for another solution and in 2021 I bought 1 quart of this Picaridin cream. I'm still using the same quart in 2024. Full disclosure, I was the only one in my family that had been using it because everyone else is lazy. You can't just spray yourself real quick and be done. You need to put it on like sunscreen but it doesn't take that much. I'm 6'-2" and 240lbs. I use maybe 2 1/2 squirts of the pump to cover my feet, legs, arms, neck and head. I even rub a little through my hair. I spray my shirt with some form of DEET before I put it on. That's it. It lasts pretty much all day, except the mosquitoes will get me through my shirt later in the day because the DEET will wear off. My family will go through several cans of bugspray to my 2 squirts of Picaridin. The last trip out they finally realized that bugspray actually kinda sucks. So I'm on here buying another quart because I don't want to run out.I bought some cheap rubber gloves from Harbor Freight that I've started wearing when I put on the cream so I'm not eating it off my fingers later in the day. It doesn't wash off really easy which is a good thing, especially if you are a sweater or get in the water. Getting in the water will deminish it's effectiveness but I think it sticks on to you better than spray without a doubt. This stuff also dries quickly, the feeling of it on your skin is much more comfortable than bugspray and it doesn't smell nearly as bad.Mosquitoes absolutely hate it. I've watched them turn complete 180's as soon as they make contact with me. Gnats will land on you but they will not bite. They can still be pretty annoying if you are fishing at night because they'll swarm and tickle you but they do the same with all the other repellants. It repels chiggers and ticks great but if you are spending time in the places I do, you still need to check your underwear band and the other nooks and crannies down in that area where you didn't apply anything.The value this stuff brings is undeniable. $50 for a quart that could last you years as opposed to an $8 can of OFF that will last 1 person a couple days at best and that is assuming you use it up before it dries up on its own, unused.That's it. It is good stuff. In my opinion, and I think I would know, it is more effective, last longer, feels cleaner and is way more affordable then the other altermatives. If you get into the outdoors a lot, buy a quart. You won't regret it.
