3.0 out of 5 stars Works Well, if you don't mind white powder, July 21, 2008

I was excited to try a bug spray that didn't leave me greasy. I bought this for my family for our camping trip. The directions say you can use it on clothing too. I sprayed myself, my husband and my kids down. It went on very nicely - no greasy feeling. However, once it dried, there was a white powder on our clothes and shoes. I'm sure it was just the cornstarch in the spray. It wiped easily off the shoes, but the clothes would require washing to remove it.

Basically, it's a good product that works well, but they should really warn you about the white powder if it gets on clothing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works For Me, September 12, 2010

Maybe it's because I use Off RepellEnt, not the RepellAnt shown in this listing, but OFF works just fine for me. It sprays evenly out of the container,dries quickly on the skin, and mostly keeps the bugs OFF. I haven't had a problem with any white residue on my skin or clothing.

This smooth and dry formula doesn't seem to last as long as other formulas I have used, but reapplication is not a problem.

Mosquito bites are irritating, and mosquitoes are carriers of disease, so when the bugs are out in force some type of repellent is a necessity.

I'd surely buy this product again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good idea, but it needs work, August 1, 2008

Does it repel mosquitos? Yes. Does it feel better than the more sticky types of repellents? Absolutely. So what's the problem?

Unless you plan to spray this on while you're naked and standing in a room you can hose down, this isn't the product for you. When I used it, it left huge white globs of corn starch -- apparently what makes the formula both smooth and dry -- all over my clothes, my hair, and everything anywhere near me in a five foot radius.

After leaving the can sitting for a couple of days, when I went back to use it again, the corn starch had clogged the nozzle and made the rest of the can -- about 85% that was left -- completely unusable, and I had to throw out the remainder.

So, this is a great idea. Definitely felt better. But it needs some work before I'd purchase it again.
