Wonderful product!
Date:May 18, 2013
"I love this product! The blue color helps ensure you have covered the entire area. It disappears quickly as you rub it onto the skin and does not leave a greasy residue. I have been a loyal user of Avon's Bug Guard products for years. It is the only product line that I trust for my family."

Works Great

"I have tried multiple sunscreens, and this one not only works well, but it doesn't give me a rash. The bug repellant is a big plus, too."

Love this product, does it stain?

why is it blue?
Date:September 16, 2012
"The product works well, and once the unbecoming blue fades away it is OK on the face, but it takes awhile for that to happen.
I hadn't expected to deal with such an unbecoming color.

A most disappointing purchase
Date:August 2, 2012
"A child would like this, as the blue dye/color does NOT disappear on one's skin - at least my skin. Also, the scent is disagreeable and the oil separated. Thus, it's greasy."

Expensive, stains skin, but seems to work....
Date:July 17, 2012
"Ordered this because I liked the idea of sun and bug protection together in a lotion, and I thought my 2 year old would like that it's blue. Lotion goes on smoothly and smells great. My main issue with this lotion is that it stains your skin slightly blue.I was under the impression that it disappeared right away, but my son looks bluish and so do my hands after applying! Oh well, it seems to work well and the blue disappears eventually. It's also quite expensive for the amount you get, so I'm not sure this will be a regular purchase for us."

Disappointment
Date:July 17, 2012
"I thought the Skin So Soft bug guard would smell like the skin so soft, as the previous product I had purchased did. It does not. Also, I bought the blue one for the kids thinking the color would blend in as you rubbed it on; it does not as I thought it would. Will not purchase this again."

Awesome Product
Date:July 16, 2012
"I needed this because my son is allergic to mosquitos but I also needed the spf. The daycare would not allow a spray product so when I saw this combined in one as a lotion, I knew I had to try. Thank you so much! Could not have asked for anything better!"

Great product, but could do without the blue
Date:July 12, 2012
"This is great for my son at school, camp, etc. It protects him really well from the sun, and especially bug bites. He was always coming home from school/camp with bad bug bites (hes allergic and swells up). Once I used this, no problems at all ever. Only thing I dont like about it, is the blue stains your hands. So you need to be near a sink and soap after you put it on."

Blue lotion stains!!!
Date:July 12, 2012
"While this product works, the fact that it stains skin and clothing knocked my review way down. As soon as I realized it stained, I had to use a different product for our faces. The blue stains on clothing did not wash out. I will only get the white lotion in the future."

Did not help
Date:June 20, 2012
"I bought this to help with bugs, yet he did not work at all. After applying it, I got bite three times within ten minutes of applying product. Also, the blue tint left my skin a horrible dirty color that never faded. Would not recommend."

"I have purchased the Skin so Soft bug repelling products for many years. I love them because they're not greasy, smell great (or not at all) and truly repel mosquitos, gnats, ticks and flies."

"I love this product because it works double duty and smells great, unlike some other bug repellents. The colored lotion really helps me to see the places I may have missed on my little ones. It does turn my hands blue for a bit but dissapates fairly quickly. A bit pricey but does go on sale and will stock up at that time."
