I love this sunscreen. I recently went on a trip to Cancun armed with this and came back home with ZERO bites. I put it on first thing in the morning and reapplied halfway through the day (I applied a different sunscreen in between because I didn't want to use too much of the IR3535). In the evenings I would shower and use a picaridin based product from Sawyer. The sunscreen soaks in well and doesn't leave me greasy. It has a strong scent at first, but its not unpleasant; not quite a sunscreen smell and not quite a bug spray smell, and it goes away after a few minutes. I am normally a mosquito magnet, and several of my friends got bit so I know the mosquitoes were present, but I was happily protected by this product. I live in SE Texas and will continue to use it throughout summer as the mosquitoes are terrible here from April through October.
This product is AMAZING and TOTALLY EFFECTIVE. My daughter is very sensitive to insect bites and we have tried everything. Bought this for a recent trip to Fiji and had TOTAL success. We even shared it around the resort with others whose brand wasn’t working. This is now the only bug repellent we will use. Bought this with my own money and this is a TRUE review of a product I bought for personal use. (TIRED OF FAKE REVIEWS and find it hard to make an informed decision).
We used this on a recent trip to southern India which has lots of mosquitos and there's a danger of diseases. I like that the lotion goes on very smoothly and that it doesn't smell funny like most insect repellents. I also like that I didn't have to rub a lot to make it go on. My wife thought it made her skin feel sticky, but it was very humid there so I felt sticky either way! It was fairly good at keeping the bugs away. We got some bites but it may have been because we had missed a spot. Also the bugs there were able to get under my pant cuff and bite my ankles so I started putting the cream there and they no longer bit me.
This was the ONLY product that worked to keep the midges away in the Scottish Highlands! Even better than hood nets! If you are going anywhere near midges, or think you might, this is the lotion to bring with you. It won't prevent ticks (you'll still need DEET for that...) but it works against midges like a charm. I applied once at the start of the day hiking off-path, and did not need to re-apply even at 8 hours in the field. A winner!
It was less than $20 for a 3-pack less than a year ago, and now Amazon prompts me to " buy it again" for almost $10 more.. Ah, no Thanks. I mean, it's great and it works, but why the significant jump in price?

We can't live without this lotion, is the best product I could find. I've been using this lotion since my son was months old, as insect repellent and sunscreen and it works perfectly for both purposes. Does not irritate skin, I used on my 3 year old, my very white dog and my self. does not leave your skin sticky after applying and does not have a string smell. Just PERFECT!
I bought this sunscreen because I heard that it wards off gnats. I had tried many different things before buying this product, and most of them didn’t work (or only worked for a few minutes). I’m happy to say that it really works! This is the best gnat repellent that I’ve tried (and, believe me, I’ve tried a lot)!
I love this stuff. I go to the Caribbean every year, and after dusk it is just an all-you-can-eat buffet for the mosquitoes -- and they LOVE me. Nothing else has worked. I usually end up with about 100 bites on my by the end of my trip, and that has happened even after using bug-deterring soap, spray/cream, AND citronella bracelet and anklet! With Skin-So-Soft I might get a total of five or ten bites in two weeks.
I love this product and that’s why I bought it again, because it works for me and it came at the perfect time, because I literally used my last drop before the package came. Only problem is... I ordered the 3-pack for about $20, but only got 1... if I was only going to get 1, I would have paid the lesser price. Please send my other 2, this is the only product that helps me as I’m highly allergic to mosquitoes. It smells good, have a SPF 30 and consists of Vitamin E & Aloe, which is soothing to sunburn.
This stuff SAVED us on a recent trip to Mexico. The bug guard plus sun screen was a life saver. It was so awesome to not have to carry separate bottles of bug spray and sunscreen. The smell wasn't overpowering and was pleasant. My husband had no problem using it. I will never go on vacation with anything else again
