Clean Feel Insect Repellent Aerosol with 20% Picaridin - Long-Lasting DEET-Free Protection from Mosquitoes, Fragrance-Free Pest Control For Ticks & Flies, Camping, Bug Spray - 5 oz

i have what you would call "sweet blood" so living in florida i need serious mosquito repellent. we all know the dangers of deet and i found picaridin in my search for alternatives to it. Picaridin is a synthetic compound created to mimic piperidine, a natural compound found in pepper plants. Not only does it repel mosquitoes and no see ums, it also repels biting flies, gnats, chiggers, and fleas. It has been available in the EU since the 90s and is considered safe. Other picaridin products are usually lotions, so when I found Off had a spray version of picaridin i had to try it. this works VERY well. even when i am at the lake at a wooded area, i will end the day with maximum 1-2 bites when i would normally get dozens. there's only a subtle smell and its not bad, its not greasy, it's overall exactly what you would want in an insect repellent. compared to other similar options it's very cost effective as well.

I’ve always dreaded using insect repellent because most leave that sticky, heavy residue—but this one is a total game changer. It goes on light, dries quickly, and feels clean on the skin—almost like I’m wearing nothing at all. No greasy film, no strong chemical smell, just a refreshing, barely-there finish. The protection is excellent. I’ve worn it on hikes, backyard evenings, and even camping trips, and it kept mosquitoes and other bugs away the entire time. What I love is that I don’t feel like I need to immediately shower it off when I get home. Instead, my skin feels comfortable and breathable, which makes a huge difference in actually wanting to use it. The scent is fresh and subtle—not overpowering—so I can wear it without feeling like I’m walking around in a cloud of bug spray. I also appreciate that it doesn’t stain clothes or leave that tacky layer on my arms and legs. For anyone who wants reliable bug protection without the sticky mess, this repellent is a must-have. It’s lightweight, effective, and makes being outdoors so much more enjoyable.

This insect repellent really surprised me, it works great and feels light on the skin. It keeps mosquitoes away effectively, even during evening walks and outdoor gatherings. I love that it doesn’t have that strong chemically smell or greasy feel like most bug sprays. It dries quickly, feels clean, and leaves no residue on clothes. Perfect for anyone who wants strong protection without the mess!

Mosquitos and other pests are a concern in the area I like and one of my children reacts to mosquito bites in the form of larger welts where the bites happen, so repellent is essential. This bug spray is fairly effective in reducing the amount of bug bites (I haven't found anything that eliminates them, yet) but the reduction in stars is because of the smell. It is so strong and noxious that when we spray, even outside, the aerosol and scent get inhaled in a way other Off brand sprays haven't affected us. The plus is this has nearly limited our interaction with flies in the summer, so it is something we feel is beneficial, overall.

OFF! Clean Feel insect repellent has been a reliable choice for keeping bugs away during outdoor activities. The spray feels light on the skin and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. I like that it provides long-lasting protection, so I don’t have to reapply constantly. It has a subtle scent that isn’t overwhelming, which makes it easier to use compared to stronger-smelling repellents. The aerosol can is easy to use and gives a fine, even mist for good coverage. I’ve used it while hiking and sitting outdoors, and it kept mosquitoes and other insects away effectively. The formula feels gentle, so it doesn’t irritate my skin even after extended use. It also works well on clothes, adding an extra layer of protection. The size of the can is convenient for taking on trips or storing in a bag. I’ve recommended it to friends who spend a lot of time outside, and they’ve had similar positive experiences. Overall, it’s an effective, lightweight, and easy-to-use insect repellent that I trust.

They say DEET is not harmful, yet studies show it can be found in your blood after use... theoretically picaridin is too large to be absorbed through the skin. Just be careful, when applying the smell is NOXIOUS. So use in a well ventilated area. But after application, it smells so pleasant (like pineapple). Works just as good as DEET sprays in my experience.

This is the best bug spray ever. It doesn't stink, doesn't turn your tongue numb and it actually works!

Clean and light with no scent at all. This is a must have for the summer and/or vacationing in areas where you know you'll run into insects.
