Sawyer Products Insect Repellent with 20% Picaridin, Pump Spray

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.

This lotion protected me from bites in Thailand for 3 weeks. Its non greasy, non smelly. Great product.

Nice smell and I think it worked, however, I did get the odd bite.

Bought this as sick of mosquito bites whilst on holiday , usually use a strong repellent in spray form , last year the bites spoilt my holiday so tried this lotion/cream this timeWow is all I can say , 2 smallish bottles but it went on the skin lovely (bit like a body lotion)No smell like the spraysNo bites in a full weekAmazing !Highly recommend

Great at keeping the mozzies away! None greasy too which is a bonus. Will buy again everytime we go away

For me it appeared to repel insects but not for my partner.The most frustrating thing was that after the first spray the spray mechanism did not work, so we ended up having to pour it out into our hands and spread it over our body. That part was terrible.I would not buy it again.Having read through other reviews now, there is clearly a packaging issue going back 8 years, but nothing has been done about the fundamental problem of leakage and the pump/spray not working - the manufacturers have simply plastic-wrapped it to save from leakage on transit for delivery. Really?

I have a history of getting really severe allergic reactions from bites of all kinds. So an upcoming trip to Tanzania followed by a trip to Miami meant that I needed to find something that would minimise the risk of me getting bitten.I have tried other products that contain DEET, But always felt that this is a very harsh ingredient and something that I wasn’t super comfortable rubbing on my skin for extended periods of time.My mother-in-law suggested this is an alternative as she has issues getting bitten and having really severe reactions. So I bought a few bottles and hoped for the best.Well, I will say is that I didn’t have any bites while I was away and I use this daily in place of my usual moisturiser. I also used suncream on top, And did not use any perfume. Most days in addition to this, I used antibacterial wipes on my skin.I’ve continued to use this since coming back home (I live in the UK) Mainly on days where I know I will be outside or where my skin might be exposed to bugs. Fortunately, I have not had any bites this summer.This will continue to be a staple in my medicine cabinet and in my handbag to be on the safe side.Would recommend! They also arrived quickly, which help when I was packing very last minute before my trip. Thank you.

We bought one for a trip to Sri Lanka and here are the main points.Nice smellCan spray on clothesNo sticky greasy feelWorks well. I am a muzzy magnet and I had 1 bite in 2 weeks.
