Proven Insect Repellent Lotion – Protects Against Mosquitoes, Ticks and Flies - 6 oz, Odorless 2-Pack2

This stuff works better than anything I’ve ever tried. Effective and odorless.

I bought this product to take with us on a tropical vacation as an alternative to DEET products. Nothing like going to a restaurant and smelling like Deep Woods Off. A little skeptical so took the DEET as a back up, but this stuff works. There is a slight smell (to me) when I put it on but quickly fades. You can tell you have applied it but it's not sticky like DEET and NO SMELL. And the best part? It works. I used it in Belize and now use it at home. We have chiggers (if you do not know what those are, well, count yourself lucky. They are the itty-bitty, spawns of Satan that embed in your skin in places NOTHING should embed in (pantylines, crotch area, underboobs, anywhere that is hot and... uhm, humid) and itch 100x more than a mosquisto bite. However when I remember to put this on - NO CHIGGER bites (no mosquitos either except where I didn't apply). I have taken to putting it on my legs every morning so when I'm chasing my dog through the daisies, I'm safe. Really can't recommend it enough. Can't speak to tick repellant as that isn't a huge issue where I live. Going to try the spray next as I can then spray on clothes for when I'm thrashing through the brush and trees after my wayward mutt. I don't know about water resistance, I reapplied when I came out of the ocean. I never got bit by the sand fleas/flies that plagued my first trip to Belize however. It does wash off OK. From my research, Picaridin can be toxic to fish in large quantities and isn't good for salamanders but "seems" to be 'safer' than DEET. But I'm not a scientist so don't come at me about how wrong I may be. I'm just a dog mom and traveler that found this product to work well for my needs.

The best insect repellent ever! Easy to apply and coverage is better than with spray on. I’ve tried a lot of other products and this works best especially for the Noseums in Florida!

When you have cats, you have to pay attention to what you put on your body, particularly when it comes to insect repellant. Proven’s ingredients are OK around cats, and the product works great! Sometimes I use natural insect repellents, too, but mosquitos (especially) are not always discouraged by the pleasant smells (for us) of the natural products. I really don’t like mosquitos so my research led me to Proven and I like using the lotion over a spray. I highly recommend it. Bonus: It’s made here in the USA.

This is the best tick repellent that I have found!!!! I use both the lotion and spray. I apply the lotion to all the places I can reach, then use the spray where I can’t reach on my back. I also spray my hair. I highly recommend it!!!!
