not so disappearing blue
Date:June 23, 2011
"I love the smell, and the fact it protects you from the sun and bugs. It really works when it comes to bugs. And living up north where they love to bite, it's a big help. But the blue isn't so disappearing, anywhere. It tends to leave a blue tint to your skin, especially hands when applying it, and severely stains clothes. Otherwise, it's a good product, I just think there should be a colorless version, with this same scent."

"Tried this version of the skin so soft bug repellent-sun block. Have used the white lotion in the past and really like it.
This Blue , I find disappears on your skin, but not on my clothing,"

Works for bugs but stays blue on skin!
Date:June 17, 2011
"This is a great skin so soft product for keeping bugs away. The problem is that it really doesn't rub in and stays blue on the skin."

"Works wonderfully! My 10 year old is very allergic to mosquitoes, if he gets bit we end up in the doctors office so I have been using this on him for a few years now and I never have to worry about him getting bit!!!!!!"

Not what I thought...
Date:January 16, 2011
"I guess I should have read the product description closer. I though this would be good for pool season and camping- but it's not waterproof! The back of the bottle says it's VERY water resistant- but even with the kids just running around and getting sweaty it ran in their eyes and stung so bad we had to rinse it off. And don't even think about going into the pool with it on- I had blood shot eyes for the rest of the day! I think it was my fault for not understanding how whe nthis product should be used."

"My kids LOVE this stuff, it's the only thing I can put on without a fight. It smells great, yet still keeps mosquitoes away. I have on blonde haired, pale skinned little one, who burns easily, and another that is allergic to mosquitoes, this products works great to protect them both."

Got the Blues
Date:July 14, 2010
"Normally, I love the SSS Bug Guard, but while the blue coloring was fun in theory, it's a nightmare when it gets onto anything other than skin. We took ours to the zoo and the bottle somehow opened in the car, squeezing blue sunscreen onto the seats and some spare clothing. I've spilled the regular white one onto other things, and it's wiped right off, but the blue is another story. Some of it didn't come out.
I'll keep buying the Bug Guard, but I'll be sticking with white for ease of cleanup."

Okay Product
Date:May 26, 2010
"I like the product. I think the bug guard is a great addition to sunscreen but the blue coloring is awful. It stains my hands and if I don't apply a thin amount to my child, it will stain their skin as well. Stick with the product without the dye."

Good sunscreen if your a Smurf!!
Date:May 18, 2010
"Its good sunscreen and good bug replent and it has a good smell. But, my child had a blue tint that took forever to disapear and my hands were stained blue for half the day. The next time I put it on my child I made sure to wash my hands right away and the blue came off. But, if your reapplying at the beach, park, or camping it's hard to find a place to scrub your hands clean! Next time I will be buying the non tinted stuff!"

It really IS fabulous!
Date:April 5, 2010
"LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! I have a RED HEAD who not only gets scorched by the sun very easily but also bugged by irritating mosquitoes wherever she goes. Because we are campers I was desperate to find something that would protect my daughter from the sun and annoying insects. I tried other bug repellents but was NOT impressed and it was such a hassle combining sunscreen with bug spray just for minimal results. So when I bought this product I was REALLY skeptical. However, that was 6 years ago. Needless to say I am VERY satisfied with the way cool n' fab works. It smells really nice and stays on well. I take this everywhere we go!"

Blue skin
Date:March 20, 2010
"I've used this product a few times and have loved it, that is why I gave it 4 stars. The last time however I was using it on a yonger child and to keep them looking at me I put some on my nose. When I was done with the toddler I rubbed it in on my face and he laughed. I went to the bathroom to see the my nose was still blue. It had soaked into my pores and I had to use a face scrub and cleanser to get *most* of the blue off. It took 3 washes to make my face look normal again. Will I use this produte again? Yes. I will just be more carefull about leaving it on in one place for 5 minutes."

Date:January 22, 2010
"I've been using the "coolblue" for years myself! After my family discovered me being allergic to deet they searched and found this product for me. It eased my discomfort with the summer! Now that I have kids of my own, this is something we can share. Especially since my oldest son has sensitive skin."

Would not recommend this, buy non-colored.
Date:July 20, 2009
"We have used the white gentle breeze bug guard in the past & really liked it. When I had to reorder, that was out of stock, so I thought I'd try this blue one. Big mistake. The lotion made my son itch & sting. He hates the smell. The blue color stayed on my fingers, even after washing repeatedly with soap and water. Stick with the regular bug guard, it is much better!"
