Review: Effective repellent - I took this with me to Sri Lanka and there were bugs around me almost constantly, I didn’t have one single bite in 5 days of living in extreme natural conditions around tea plants. I even found a honey bee in my room that didn’t bite me because I always had the repellent sprayed on me at all times. The spray is oil based however it absorbs in the skin pretty quickly - plus for those who have dry skin. Additionally, I couldn’t smell it on me although I was wearing it at all times. 100% recommended
Review: Very effective - I went for a trek in the Malaysian jungle and I used the product both on my skin and on clothes: very effective and no mosquitos or other insects punctures, nor any oily or sticky sensation during the trek.
