Sawyer Products SP564 Premium Insect Repellent with 20% Picaridin, Lotion, 4-Ounce

Travelled to Nigeria and didn't experience mosquito bite

I rarely write reviews, but this product is the real deal. 1. It's a lotion like cream, which makes so much sense when you think about it, so you can get a very even layer everywhere, which is not the case with sprays. 2. It doesn't smell and dries fast 3. It did the job PERFECTLY. No bites despite very mosquito/etc. heavy environments. All around top.

I am yet to open and use ob my trip

Amazing stuff , used in Thailand , no bites , better than deet!

Good product use it for protection against scrub ticks

If you're looking for a reliable insect repellent that doesn't compromise on comfort, the Sawyer Products SP564 Premium Insect Repellent Lotion with 20% Picaridin is a standout choice. Exceptional Protection Against Biting Insects This lotion contains 20% Picaridin, which has proven to be as effective as DEET in repelling a wide range of pests. In my personal experience, it provided up to 14 hours of protection against mosquitoes and ticks, and up to 8 hours against flies, gnats, and chiggers. Whether you're hiking in the woods or enjoying a backyard barbecue, this lotion keeps biting insects at bay. Non-Greasy and Odorless Formula One of the biggest advantages is its non-greasy texture. The lotion absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a sticky residue, making it comfortable to wear all day. It's also virtually odorless, so you won't be left with that strong chemical smell common with other repellents. Skin-Friendly and Suitable for the Whole Family The formula is gentle on the skin, which is great for those with sensitivities. I've used it on both adults and children without any irritation. Plus, it's safe to apply on clothing and gear without causing damage or stains. Convenient Size and Easy Application The 4-ounce tube is perfect for travel and fits easily into backpacks or pockets. The lotion format allows for precise application, ensuring you cover all exposed areas thoroughly. This makes it more efficient than aerosol sprays that can miss spots or get carried away by the wind. Why Choose Picaridin Over DEET? Picaridin is a newer repellent that offers similar efficacy to DEET but with several benefits: No Damage to Gear: Unlike DEET, Picaridin doesn't harm plastics or synthetic materials. Pleasant to Use: It's less oily and has no strong odor. Safe and Effective: Provides long-lasting protection without compromising safety. Pros: Long-lasting insect protection Non-greasy, fast-absorbing lotion Odorless and gentle on skin Safe for use on clothing and gear Compact and travel-friendly size Cons: Requires reapplication after swimming or heavy sweating Final Verdict The Sawyer Products SP564 Premium Insect Repellent Lotion is a must-have for outdoor enthusiasts and anyone looking to protect themselves from biting insects comfortably and effectively. Its superior formulation and ease of use make it a top choice among insect repellents on the market. Highly recommended for peace of mind during outdoor activities.

Mosquitos love to use me as a buffet and I was sick of it. I was so used to hiking in the winter that I forgot about bugs. But as soon as spring hit they emerged full force. I bought the Picaridin lotion and was blessed to feel no bugs wanted any part of me now. I am basically invisible. The lotion goes on nicely and goes clear. I thought it would give me those white lines but nope, everything felt super clean unlike other products that feel sticky and greasy. I love this sawyer in scent repellent because it also helps against those flies that bite. I put it on once and I am pretty much good for the rest of the day unless I am sweating a lot. Perfect for hiking or backpacking.

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