Bye-bye Mosquitoes
I purchased a bonus size pack of Clean Feel Off Insect Repellent because we have a camp in the upper regions of Pennsylvania, where the mosquitoes think I'm an all-you-can-eat buffet. Every time I visit -- except when there's snow -- I come back with multiple mosquito bites, and it takes away from the enjoyment of walking in nature. I sprayed OFF! everywhere on myself, including spraying it on my hands to put it on my exposed ears and neck to test an evening walk at dusk time when the mosquitoes are very active. I could hear them buzzing at my ears, but I came back with no bites. I still wasn't convinced that it actually worked -- I know; I'm skeptical -- so I decided before I wrote a review that I would try a second time. It was the same time of day, early evening, and extremely muggy. There were mosquitoes and gnats all around us. I had to keep waving my hands in front of my face so that gnats would stay away, and my iWatch thought I was a champion runner from what it felt was an extremely active session from all the hand movements. I again ended the walk without a single bite even though we walked along a lake. I know you're thinking I should have returned and immediately gave a five-star review. Nope. I still was skeptical. I tried a third time on a walk along Kettle Creek in upper PA with the exact same results, no welts from mosquito bites. I am excited to report that this product is excellent. On three different walks during prime mosquito season, I had no bites! This product is excellent!

Nice version of Off
I will say I was hesitant to purchase off however, this version did not have a thick chemical smell nor did it go on greasy or thick. It worked well.

Works and feels great!
I am a mosquito magnet and this spray works great! And without the DEET. I bike in the woods and even in the woods in the peak mosquito season I escaped unscathed. It doesn’t feel icky on your skin and is absolutely scent free.

Doesnt keep away mosquitos.
It doesn’t work. I don’t mind the smell, and it doesn’t leave any residue, but I still end up covered in bites.

Not perfect
Got this for our family to venture out on a July weekend. It Went on and dried quickly. It certainly helped prevent a multitude of misquote bites. We still struggled with some flying insects bites even after applying. It seemed to hold up against sweat pretty well. Doesn’t leave a sticky feeling or a heavy fragrance. It also didn’t irritate my hypersensitive skin. 3 stars because one of us still ended up with some bites.

Burns
I couldn't find a way to spray this that didn't burn my eyes. Even if I thought I only got it on my arms I would touch my arm and then my eye. Not worth it Burns on sensitive skin too.

Smells masculine
Scent free where? It smells like axe body spray. I thought I was going nuts til I saw another review say the same thing. Maybe they are made at the same facility and had a mix up?

Great for kids and daytime
My son gets HORRIBLE bites that swell. I bought this for him to wear during the day to keep bugs away from him. It is less bug spray smelling and less sticky. It has worked great. However, if we will be outside at night I still opt to use spray with DEET in it. This is great for when you don't need as much protection but still want some.

Great At Keeping Bugs Away
I purchased this to use while we were at camp. This did the trick. The bugs didn't bother us, and we also didn't end our day with the smell of bug spray staying with us. I would purcahse this again.

Finally, a bug spray where I don't hate the smell!
I love this product! I have gotten tons of compliments from my friends who have used the spray as well, appreciating that it doesn’t smell like bug spray. It may be a little bit less effective, but I usually get eaten alive by mosquitos anyway, so a couple of small bites don’t bug me (haha).

Axe Bodyspray
I can’t believe this says fragrance free- it straight up smells INTENSELY of Axe body spray. I would personally rather smell like DEET. It also didn’t feel any different from regular bug spray. Otherwise I didn’t have problems with the product but why would they so falsely advertise?

I sent this to summer camp with my daughter, and the smell made her and two other campers throw up. Definitely do not recommend!

My new go-to bug spray!
It works well for me! I'm outside for 4-6 hours most days due to my job. I can usually get 10 bites in one evening, and when I've worn this, I don't get any. I got this stuff cuz I'm autistic and normal bug spray tends to trigger my sensory sensitivities, and the switch was completely worth it. It feels so much nicer on my skin and smells a lot better than other bug sprays. Ik some people have had issue with needing to re-apply often, so I took their advice and apply it again after like 3 hours if I've been sweating too much. However, when I'm not sweating much, I can go an entire 4 hours and not lose effectiveness. I sometimes see mosquitoes or flies hover over my arm, and then fly away, so I definitely recommend trying this stuff. One can has lasted me around a month and a half, with liberal use on average a little more often than every other day. Do with that info what you will, as I'm not sure how that compares to other bug sprays.

Didn’t work. My son and I were both covered in bug bites.

We expect OFF!® Clean Feel to be an effective way to keep mosquitoes, ticks, and biting flies away – so we thank you for letting us know this wasn't the case. If you haven't already, ensure to cover all exposed skin and clothing, along with reapplying after swimming and/or excessive sweating. As this didn't meet our standards, we'd like to chat further. Please give us a call at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. CT) and mention reference number: 22530095. We look forward to speaking. – Megan, SC Johnson Consumer Care

YES!
LOVE this spray. It has zero smell, is not sticky or greasy (can’t even tell you've applied anything), and so far no bites when wearing it. Taking it on carribbean vacation, which will be the true test.

Thanks for sharing your experience, and I'm sorry our OFF!® Clean Feel Spray missed the mark! We'd expect this to provide up to 8 hours of mosquito protection. Applying the repellent more frequently may be necessary in hot and humid weather and during vigorous activity, as perspiration and/or swimming will lessen its effectiveness. We'd like to chat further and get the chance to help. Call us at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT) and provide your reference number: 22522071.
