I have sensitive skin and have adverse reactions to mosquito bites. Even the big brand repellents didn't work for me. Still got lots of bites and bad reactions. I searched all over and eventually found "incognito". It had great reviews and so I thought I would give it a go. I am so glad I did. I have used this all summer so far (including on the allotment which is FULL of mosquitoes because of neighbouring ponds). The mosquitoes have stayed well clear of me and even now in August when they are particularly blood thirsty, they have mostly stayed away. I say mostly, because they are very persistent and I have had two bites, but for some reason they haven't been too bad, and the usual adverse reaction hasn't happened. Perhaps when the mosquitoes tasted my skin they stopped blood sucking quickly and so my reaction was minimal! I will continue to use this as it has been great. Fairly expensive but WELL worth it. Deet free, which is great for sensitive skins, and anyway, deet didn't stop the mozzies getting me, but incognito does. Strong smelling, but not horrid, and to be honest I wouldn't care if it did smell bad, as long as it works, which this certainly does.Read full review

I tried to be environmentally friendly and I have heard of products such as this working. I was in Thailand and covering my self in this as I went into the jungle and I came back, absolutely covered in bites. The pharmacist told me that this stuff is absolutely no good for Thailand. It would have been nice to have had some warning sign or something to state that it wouldn't be effective in certain areas or environments as I spent the rest of my holiday soothing the bites and praying that I didn't catch dengue, which was not fun.

Is 10 quid a bottle in the shops, so this makes good sense. The scent is nice to wear, though the spray is a little greasy of course, with it being essential oils, so take care not to spray near clothing or you get little dark patches, but it is pleasant to use with no side-effects, and seems to stop nasties. I use it on my head, on my ankles and knees when sunbathing, the main points of attack by mosquitoes and so on, and so far, no bites, so recommended.

Usually get bitten to death however with this spray not one!!! I spray hems of dresses or pants and it works. Make sure you spray all areas. I missed a little area by my elbow and the little blighter got me. At night we unscrewed the lid and just left it on dressing table. The scent definitely kept all mozzies at bay.

This product is the best deet free repellent I have tried, it smells quite pleasant (although, obviously not to mosquitos) and uses natural ingredients. Non sticky clear spray is easily absorbed into the skin. One bottle is enough to last summer holidays.
