Wonderful bug and sun guard
Date:July 7, 2012
"My daughter took this to marching band camp last summer and loves how this works. She was so excited that she did not get bitten at all. The horse flies that usually bite her in the day do not any more, and the mosquitos left her alone too.
And because it has a sun screen in it she doesn't have to use an addition product. She now takes this to every camp she goes to.

Daily Protection Without the Mess
Date:July 5, 2012
"I have fair skin and wear this everyday as part of getting ready in the morning. I go for a 30-45 minute walk with my dog through some moderate mosquito areas in my neighborhood, and I don't get burned or bitten with this product. It doesn't have an overpowering smell--it's a pleasant, refreshing smell-- and it takes only a few seconds to rub in. It goes on clear, dries quickly, leaves no greasy residue, and it works. This product has protected me well for picnics at the park and for backyard grilling, too. It's great daily protection, and on days where I wasn't expecting to be outdoors but ended up outdoors, I was glad to already be wearing it. If I were to go to the pool, the beach, or walking in the woods, I would want more protection from the sun and/or insects, but for most other setting, this works well and is a good value."

"Unfortunately, I am highly sensitive to mosquitoes. Years ago I remember the skin so soft product working for me(before it was even intended to be used as a bug repellant).However, I ordered two bottles of this newer version "skin so soft bug repellant"; sprayed myself very generously and was eaten up by mosquitoes within a half an hour just sitting on concrete...no where near water."

"My wife and I recently did extensive hiking in Sedona and the rim of the Grand Canyon each day being near or over 100 degrees with out ever seeing a cloud. The SSS worked flawlesly both as a protectent from the sun and bugs.
The best product I have used in this area!"

"This stuff really works, however if you don't spray it evenly on the skin you end up with white spots!! (The sun burns where the spray did not cover.)"

Hubby loves this product
Date:June 25, 2012
"My husband is in the construction business & loves this product. Previously he used the bug repelent only formula with a seperate sunscreen. Then I introduced him to the combination formula, now he really loves it.
Thanks for providing a wide variety of great products over the years."

"We live in the Ozark mountains and have had a lot of problems with Chiggers. This product is the best we have found to repel them. The only question my husband had was we ordered 4 units, since the units were shiiped with the pump sprayers separate and we now have 3 extra sprayers can we order less sprayer on our next order.

Skin So Soft Bug Spray
Date:June 22, 2012
"This is the only bug spray that works. When I use it I have no bites at all and it will last 8-10 hours after sprayed. Highly recommend as I am allergic to insect bites and this spray allows me to work in my flower gardens without the worry of bug bites."

Worst Purchase Ever
Date:June 18, 2012
"Would never recommend this product. It is oily and stains. The spray pump is terrible. It leaks, making the bottle too slippery to hold. If you invert the bottle to spray the back of your legs, it drips the oily lotion everywhere."

No Pump On the Bottle
Date:June 17, 2012
"Ordered the Pump Spray and got a bottle with a cap and no pump to spray it. Had to buy a spray bottle at the dug store for my husband to be able to use it on his fishing trip. It is a good product but did not get what I ordered in terms of packaging."

Never leave home without it!
Date:June 14, 2012
"This is the best product ever! I am highly allergic to mosquito bites especially those in tropical areas. I have been using Skin So Soft bug guard for years (over 10 years) and I have been thoroughly protected from any mosquito bites! This product truly works for me. If I know I am going on a trip, the first thing I do is purchase the bug guard. I would not travel without it! It can be a little bit oily but it is worth it not to get bitten."

Works Great
Date:June 12, 2012
"I am allergic to DEET so I am always on the lookout for DEET-free bug repellant. Bug Guard works great and I love that it is SPF 30 too. I also like that it smells good (very fresh, clean). I use it on my whole family. I do prefer the pump spray as opposed to the aerosol option since it seems to last longer and is less wasteful on windy days."

"Bought it for camping. Went camping and had no reason to have to use it because there weren't bugs ! Seems like it should be mentioned that the cost of the pump is added w/o explanation on ordering."

"I have used this for my family for several years now and we all love it. Smells nice and fresh and doesn't sting the kids skin when sprayed on like some other brands did. Very convenient to have bug gaurd and sunscreen in one product.,"
