Does not work!
This did not work at all for us. Used it on vacation. Got eaten alive. Save your money & use something else. Also very icky to spread on the skin. Very disappointed.

Yuck! Super disappointed!
It claims to feel light and clean. It does not! It felt sticky and greasy, and also caused me to cough. And it's overpriced.

Hello, Bjonfy Thank you for the honest review. Our Active formula is inspired by pepper plants so inhaling while your spraying, although safe, could cause you to cause and or sneeze. It is an amazing product, that when dry leaves no scent or greasy feel. It also offers the best value due to the 12-hours of protection. Shubug Active was independently tested and certified to protect against mosquitoes and ticks for 12-hours. It also protects against black flies, stable flies, gnats, chiggers and no-see-ums for 8 hours. You may want to try Shubug pump for a more controlled application.

Hello, Lauren. Thank you for the honest review. I am baffled that it didn't work on you. All of our products are independently tested and certified in all 50 states. We can't put the hours of protection on the bottle if it hasn;t been 3rd party proven. Please try our Shubug Clean Mist it is a certified daily moisturizer that may work better on you. please contact me directly and I'll send you some. :) Mike@Shubug.com

This bug spray doesn’t work at all, leaves a greasy, sticky residue.

Hello, Erin. Thank you for the review. I want to assure you that Shubug Active was independently tested by an ISO certified lab. It is also EPA registered and verified. We wouldn't be certified in all 50 states if it didn't work. Please do me a big favor and try it one more time. Please know that insect repellent works just like sunscreen, if you don't have complete coverage, you won't have protection. Most believe all insect repellent works of scent alone and a quick spray will protect them. That couldn't be further from the truth. A mosquito will probe an area of skin the size of a quarter if it isn't protected. Mosquitos also taste with their feet. fortunately, our products also provide surface protections so if the mosquito gets past the scent and lands it will taste the repellent and fly away without proving. the key great protection is great coverage. Please make sure you treat all exposed skin and rub it in for full protection. I 100% guarantee it will protect you from mosquitos, ticks, gnats, chiggers, and no-see-ums. You may also want to try our Shubug Clean Mist formula, it is a daily moisturizer that repels mosquitos for 12 hours. Kindness is contagious, Mike Lyon CEO

This is the only mosquito repellent I will use from here on out. The scent is not nearly as strong as others and it lays on the skin nicely. It didn’t irritate my husband’s sensitive skin either so that’s a huge plus! So excited to finally find something we enjoy as the insects get me bad!

Great insect repellent
Great insect repellent. Daycare used on him during camp one week and he came home without any bites. Also, no lingering smells when he came home. We would definitely buy and use this again. Does well like other brand names and did last like it says it will.

Ok
It's kinda greasy. Also says it's unscented but it does smell. Not terrible still a scent though I think it works it's still early in season to tell how well it works. Especially once the bugs get bad that will be the real test

Very good
Finally, a bug spray that doesn't smell pungent and actually does the job. I've tried all sorts of sprays, because mosquitos seem to love me more than the average person. Most smell very strong, but this is more of a very light fresh smell I can hardly tell that I've applied. And it works! I haven't been bitten while using this. I feel better applying this on the family as well. Good product.

Works well to keep mosquitoes at bay
Did a great job keeping mosquitoes away and didn’t feel sticky or runny at all. I sprayed this on my kiddo’s legs for a golf tournament and he stayed bug free and comfortable for the whole round. Pleasant scent that isn’t overpowering

No smell
I work from home and as the weather is just getting nice, have not really spent much time outside. This clicks to lock and unlock. Sprayed it outside and did not smell anything. The spray radius was pretty wide so you have to hold it almost a for away from your body. Used it on a 30 minute walk but does to last up to 12 hours!

This is a great bug spray that doesn't stink!
I'm going to cut right to the chase - the best thing about this bug spray is that it doesn't stink! It doesn't make you smell like chemicals NOR like flowery soap. It has a barely there scent when you spray it that doesn't linger. It feels great on the skin and it really does help keep the bugs away! Also the entire packaging is adorable. A winner!

Safe repellent
This Shubug Active Insect Repellent Spray is perfect to use for the whole family and especially my kids. They love spending time outside and this spray keeps the bugs and especially mosquitos away for 12 hours. I love that this spray contains plant based ingredients. The spray is easy to apply without making the skin feeling sticky. This safe repellent will be a staple for the summer!

New obsession!
Light and airy and not stinky. Kids did not mind wearing this one bit. Not like the other brands where you instantly smell like you're wearing bug spray- this one actually worked and didn't leave you smelling stinky.

Great bug spray
This stuff is amazing. I hate using typical bug spray because it stinks and is sticky. This is neither of those things. No real odor once it dries, and not sticky on your skin. This is a winning combo. Plus no cap to lose, with the swivel cap.

Amazing Product - No Deet
You won't believe how well this works even though it is all natural. I feel much better about putting it on my kids and it works as well (if not better) than the chemical brands!

One application a day with a light spray!
I typically buy Shubug natural but wanted to try this Active can! It’s not a natural oil so it sprays a lot lighter but still just as effective! One application lasted me all day, no bites!
