3M Ultrathon Insect Repellent Lotion, Splash and Sweat Resistant, 2 Oz

Have used for many years! Coverage is great and keeps all biting flying pest away. Used in the Amazon, Panama and other areas where mosquitos and such are prevalent and never had a problem. If you have sensitive skin you may want to test fist as this stuff is potent but very effective. The lotion is thicker and goes on like a heavy cream so not ideal for a quick application as it needs to be rubbed in. The odor is not awful, but you can tell you have repellent on. I have used this product for over 10 years and keep going back to it as it works!

In my quest for the perfect bug repellent, I stumbled upon this fantastic bug repellent lotion cream. I prefer lotion over spray because it's not sticky, and this one doesn't disappoint!Despite its small bottle size, a little goes a long way with this powerful cream. A tiny quarter-sized amount is all you need for effective coverage in any area. This bottle will last me quite a while, which is a great value.What sets this cream apart is its incredible potency. Whether I'm hiking or on the farm, it keeps insects and bugs at bay. I've had pleasant, bug-free experiences every time.this bug repellent cream is a compact powerhouse. It's highly effective, non-sticky, and long-lasting. If you're looking for top-notch bug protection for your outdoor adventures, look no further. This cream is a must-have for bug-free and enjoyable outings. Highly recommended!

I bought this bug lotion years ago for a trip out west that didn't allow for aerosols and it worked great, went on easy and clean and kept bugs off of me. I used the original tube for a while with no issues, it did separate a bit after being stored in the car (which made me knock off a star). However, it's still the best out there and actually works.

Bought this for my August trip to Florida and Georgia. Overall, I love it!Cons:Feels greasy, and leaves you looking greasy.Attracts dirt due to the grease layerSlight smell (reminds me of scotch tape, and it doesn't bother me but it is there)Pros:Uhh.... IT WORKS! I was in Savannah Georgia, in a cemetery (Bonaventure, so FULL of lush greenery right next to the river). I was getting smacked in the face and ears by mosquitoes but not one single bite. I call that a miracle, honestly. I was out doing paddle boarding down narrow water ways surrounded by lush foliage in Florida at dusk and dawn- not a single bite.I'm not sure how water resistant this is, since I didn't get into the water while using it. I did, however, sweat profusely due to the humidity and heat but it never seemed to wear off. Also use sunscreen with it without issue. I'm not a fan of it feeling somewhat gross, but I take that over getting bit. I spent 4 days outside in Florida and Georgia and I didn't get bit. I realize I sound like a broken record, but I'm just so amazed. I've used Off Spray in the past (I live in the woods in Texas) and usually still get bit a couple times so it was amazing how much better this worked. I think with it being a lotion, that helps too.I didn't put it on my face since I break out so easily, but I did use it around my neck. No issues. It is small, so if you're going to be gone for an extended time, or be using it on multiple people, then I'd get more than one. It does cover well, though.

I was in Kolkata and other rural regions of India along the river and it was hot with humidity like I’ve never experienced before in my life (my socks fused to my LED cured gel toe nail polish if that gives you any idea to the severity). I brought along this mosquito lotion because my travel nurse said this was the only one she would suggest. She was right!! My friends with me got bit a handful of times with some other deet spray they brought, but I did not get bit once the whole week and a half I was there - and the mosquitos were reealll y’all!I was even speaking to a village one night next to the water so they hooked up florescent lights next to and behind me. They wanted everyone to be able to see me but I was getting swarmed by mosquitos because of the lights. I was silently in a panic and tried to inconspicuously move over some, but they were all up in my business. I mean a pretty gross lot of them. I walked away that night without a single puncture. I was super sweaty too which made the thick lotion feel a bit yucky, but I figured it was better to feel a little uncomfortable than get tagged by a mosquito in India. So yes, the lotion is a little thick, but if you truly need the protection, I can’t recommend anything else. I only use this now, even at home (California) and even on my toddler granddaughter. She’s a poor little pin cushion, like her grandma, unless I put this stuff on her. When the Ultrathon lotion is on tho’, she doesn’t get touched. It’s worth the layer, trust me.
