This product seems to work for me. We have a lot of mosquitoes around which makes it a pain when working in the garden, watering the plants, etc. I apply it on my face and neck when I go out to my yard, covering up the rest of my body, and I haven't been bitten there yet. My hand, however, which I left bare and without applying the lotion (the other was gloved) got bitten three times today.Edit: Since I posted the review, I have stopped applying it on my face due to the reactions I've been getting - a slight burning sensation. Although it did not say to avoid applying this on the face (on the bottle, as I recall), I suppose that due to the chemical nature of this product, that is probably a given. I'm still looking for a product I can apply on my face without negative reactions since without this product, I have gotten bitten there.
