Advantages: strong enough, value for money, not that smelly Disadvantages: Not strong enough for serious jungle work
...uncomfortable.
5. At £3.99 its very well priced and in fact one bottle would last for several applications a day for at least a couple of months.
All in all i really cannot find a downside to this repellent and woulld reccommend it to anyone who wants to keep the insects at bay, but if you're doing some serious jungle trekking you may want to go for the dtronger deet in addition to this...

Advantages: We didn't get bitten Disadvantages: can't be used in tropical areas
...Boots Insectrepellentspray
With a Little Miss who seems to be loved by flying biters, I tend to take as many precautionary products as possible in the form of lotions potions and sprays when we go on our jollies.
~~WHO IS THIS FOR?~~
It is suggested that the spray is for adults and children from the age of 6 months. This is actually one of the reasons I bought the spray- if a baby of 6 months can have it applied, then it's a doddle for a 6 ½ year old.

~~PRODUCT AND PACKAGING~~

Advantages: Easy use spray, gentle on the skin, works! Disadvantages: Occasional allergy
.... The spray action works as easily with the bottle held upside down making it simple to reach every part. My regime was to apply Skinsations to all exposed skin (neck, arms, legs) and then the collar and cuffs of my shirt, short bottoms and socks. The spray dries almost on contact leaving skin feeling smooth and clean. There was no sensation of grease, film or irritation. It has an unobtrusive fragrance with hints of citrus and roses.
The active ingredient is DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide) which is the safest and commonest used insectrepellent. DEET disrupts the ability of biting insects to detect carbon dioxide (from breath and skin). Mosquitoes and other biting insects are not killed. They just cannot locate us. Skinsations also contains Aloe extract and Vitamin E as skin moisturisers.
