Proven Insect Repellent Spray, Keep Mosquitoes, Ticks and Flies Off, DEET Alternative Repellent, Up to 12-Hour Protection, Great for Camping or Hiking, 6 Ounce, Odorless Spray

Works well. Dries quickly and is not sticky. Does not smell bad.

Excellent repellent. All-natural, no harsh scent. effective. Love that it is also non-aerosol.

I live in a southeast coastal area of the US, about 2 miles (3 kilometers) from a river and 5 miles (8 kilometers) from the ocean. To say that it’smosquito-and gnat-ridden is an understatement! It’s awful to live in such an amazingly beautiful place, but be unable to enjoy it due to biting insects. So insect repellent is a huge deal around here, for residents and tourists alike.Please believe me when I say that my family has tried every insect repellent in existence, from citronella (ineffective!) to DEET-the heavy duty (works best but smells bad and can be dangerous). Every new type we see or hear of, we’re willing to try!I purchased Proven because the active ingredient is one we’ve not tried before, and I had high hopes! As soon as it arrived, I applied it. The day was a humid, warm one and perfect for the bugs to come out at dusk. And the Proven kept them off of my skin! I enjoyed watching the gnats hovering about 5 cm above my arms (we’re easily entertained, obviously!).The only aspect of Proven that I must take issue with is the length of time they claim for efficacy. I had to re-apply it after about 90 minutes, and again 90 minutes later. I’m not sure why it didn’t last longer, because it is marketed as a long-lasting product. And I did apply it per the instructions on the label.Typically I wouldn’t continue to purchase anything from a company that seemed to blatantly mislead people. I’m still on the fence about buying Proven again. That it worked as long as it did to keep the insects off of my skin in this area, is a minor miracle, actually. But for 12 hours? No, not even 2 hours. I have a problem with that claim. Maybe they tested it in Antarctica or something.

The proven mosquito repellent spray works great! I didn't get any bites with it on even when right beside a pond. That is wonderful for me because mosquitos love me and will usually find me anywhere. It also has no scent and does not feel greasy, maybe just a tiny bit sticky, but not much. I am so glad they make it!

Only used twice but happy to report no bites so far!! Yay! Looking forward to enjoying my backyard again this summer!!!

The repellent itself seemed to work on the one time we used it. The first order arrived with a broken spray applicator, Amazon refunded that purchase. We reordered based on a family recommendation and the 2nd applicator worked at first but then stuck. We had to remove the cap and apply by hand. It took some work but we finally got it working. As I said though the repellent does seem to be effective with no real odor.

This product really works. I do landscape maintenance and on a summer morning when everything‘s warm and wet the mosquitoes used to eat me alive. Not anymore with this product it works great and has a pleasant smell.

Works great!!
