Autan Mosquito & Insect Repellent Pump Spray, Travel Essentials, Suitable For Kids, DEET Free Formula, Up to 8 Hours Protection against Mosquitoes, Biting Flies and Ticks, 100 ml

Purchase regularly. Probably best insect repellant. Smells OK.

This stuff seems to be one of the only products that works to keep the mosquitos off me. As I have Skeeter syndrome (allergy to mosquito bites) I'm always using this to keep them away from me. I've purchased it multiple times, would recommend.

Works very well initially - but does need to be reapplied throughout the day

This stuff is brilliant. Midges and mosquitoes have a field day with me, for some reason they go for me like a magnet. I've had 20 bites in a small area and il allergic to their saliva so you can imagine! It's bliss to be able to go to a park in the evening with my dog and have NO bites whatsoever! Spray in a well ventilated place if possible. I've bought this several times. I won't buy anything else now.

My daughter suffers dreadfully with bites on holiday and this is the best prodigy has used. Would highly recommend.

Started using this recently and whilst its effectiveness can be hit and miss. I would of stuck with the product but after couple days use, this has caused a severe dry skin, itching, soreness like eczema type reaction. Never experienced dryness as severe as what this has personally caused for me, which suspect is caused by the Icaridin ingredient. I will be reverting back to something kinder and gentlier to the skin.

I'm someone who mosquitoes absolutely love! It's been very problematic on holidays to hot climates, including once having to have steroid treatment for bites I got in Florida. I've been using DEET-containing repellents for a while but have never been very keen on it because of the smell and finding it quite greasy to use - plus it's never been that successful for me. This time I was going to be in the southern US for 6 weeks so decided to do some research on potentially better solutions. Having read quite a bit about repellents this led me to giving Autan a try. It has picaridin (20%) as the active ingredient rather than DEET. And having tried it I have to say I am hugely impressed with the results. In 6 weeks of using a picaridin repellent every day I got a grand total of only three bites on the entire trip. And that's spending time in TX, TN and GA in September/October. What was very insightful was that my wife, who the mosquitoes usually ignore and therefore she doesn't bother with repellent, managed to pick up quite a number of bites in the early days of our trip whereas I was completely bite-free. That encouraged her to start using it too with the same positive effect, with far fewer bites for the rest of the trip. I found the Autan spray to be easy to apply - it has a pleasant smell, was absorbed quickly and was not greasy. I think it is recommended to reapply every 8 hours, but to be honest it was very rare that I reapplied it and it was effective all day. One bottle lasted us around 3 weeks of everyday use. Alas, when we ran out we couldn't easy find it in the US but bought another S.C. Johnson product called OFF! (another with 20% picaridin) as an alternative and it was just as effective. As a couple of extra tips to anyone else mosquito-affected like me - I didn't wear any aftershave for the entire trip just to avoid scents that any bitey-things might find attractive. Also, I took an over-the-counter antihistamine (cetirizine hydrochloride) every day to minimise the reaction to any bites I did get. Obviously do your own research/get medical advice to make sure this is ok for you. So there you have it - sorry for the long review - but this has been a game-changer for me. None of the drawbacks of DEET (smell, greasiness, can damage plastics) and something that is pleasant smelling and gave me a lot of peace of mind when going out. Give it a try - I hope you get the same results!

This was a Best Buy according to Which magazine independent reviews and rightly so.

Produit insecticide pour les moustiques en tout genre et facilement applicable

Je m’en sers depuis quasiment une semaine et je recommande vivement ce produit. Très efficace, aucune piqure de moustiques depuis. Odeur de parfum un peu forte mais ça passe, sèche vite et ne colle pas. Le baume de la même marque pour apaiser les piqûres est très bien aussi !

Produit cher (comme bcp d'autres dans ce type de produit) mais indispensable. Protège parfaitement. On peut à nouveau profiter de la terrasse, mais il faut se badigeonner.

J'en achète régulièrement. J'ai une peau à moustiques. Sans la Autan, je suis entourée d'un nuage de moustiques et bien sûr je suis piquée sans cesse. Avec ce produit, plus de moustiques même les tigres. Plus de piqûres. En plus, il dure plusieurs heures et n'est pas gras. Par contre, il a mauvais goût si vous en mettez sur les doigts

Fonctionne extrêmement bien ! Moi qui suis d’habitude une peau à moustique je suis complètement tranquille depuis que j’utilise ce produit
