  • Tired of buying 100's of cans of DEET. Buy 1 quart of this instead.
Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: Lotion
This stuff is awesome. We purchased some waterfront land on the ocean in Va. and have an off-grid camp set up while we slowly build and upgrade the property into our eventual retirement home/farm. The tick, mosquito, fly and gnat populations in this area are insane. I despise ticks especially since one tried to kill me by infecting me with tick fever when I was 5 years old and another gave my son Lymes Disease and put him in intensive care when he was also 5. Both of us were sent to John's Hopkins as 5 year olds because of ticks. I also hate bugspray. It's expensive, the cans of spray don't last long enough and if you leave them sit they'll eventually become empty on their own so stocking up doesn't help much. I started looking for another solution and in 2021 I bought 1 quart of this Picaridin cream. I'm still using the same quart in 2024. Full disclosure, I was the only one in my family that had been using it because everyone else is lazy. You can't just spray yourself real quick and be done. You need to put it on like sunscreen but it doesn't take that much. I'm 6'-2" and 240lbs. I use maybe 2 1/2 squirts of the pump to cover my feet, legs, arms, neck and head. I even rub a little through my hair. I spray my shirt with some form of DEET before I put it on. That's it. It lasts pretty much all day, except the mosquitoes will get me through my shirt later in the day because the DEET will wear off. My family will go through several cans of bugspray to my 2 squirts of Picaridin. The last trip out they finally realized that bugspray actually kinda sucks. So I'm on here buying another quart because I don't want to run out. I bought some cheap rubber gloves from Harbor Freight that I've started wearing when I put on the cream so I'm not eating it off my fingers later in the day. It doesn't wash off really easy which is a good thing, especially if you are a sweater or get in the water. Getting in the water will deminish it's effectiveness but I think it sticks on to you better than spray without a doubt. This stuff also dries quickly, the feeling of it on your skin is much more comfortable than bugspray and it doesn't smell nearly as bad. Mosquitoes absolutely hate it. I've watched them turn complete 180's as soon as they make contact with me. Gnats will land on you but they will not bite. They can still be pretty annoying if you are fishing at night because they'll swarm and tickle you but they do the same with all the other repellants. It repels chiggers and ticks great but if you are spending time in the places I do, you still need to check your underwear band and the other nooks and crannies down in that area where you didn't apply anything. The value this stuff brings is undeniable. $50 for a quart that could last you years as opposed to an $8 can of OFF that will last 1 person a couple days at best and that is assuming you use it up before it dries up on its own, unused. That's it. It is good stuff. In my opinion, and I think I would know, it is more effective, last longer, feels cleaner and is way more affordable then the other altermatives. If you get into the outdoors a lot, buy a quart. You won't regret it. ... show more

  • Effective Protection in a Convenient Lotion
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: Lotion
If you're looking for a reliable insect repellent that doesn't compromise on comfort, the Sawyer Products SP564 Premium Insect Repellent Lotion with 20% Picaridin is a standout choice. Exceptional Protection Against Biting Insects This lotion contains 20% Picaridin, which has proven to be as effective as DEET in repelling a wide range of pests. In my personal experience, it provided up to 14 hours of protection against mosquitoes and ticks, and up to 8 hours against flies, gnats, and chiggers. Whether you're hiking in the woods or enjoying a backyard barbecue, this lotion keeps biting insects at bay. Non-Greasy and Odorless Formula One of the biggest advantages is its non-greasy texture. The lotion absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a sticky residue, making it comfortable to wear all day. It's also virtually odorless, so you won't be left with that strong chemical smell common with other repellents. Skin-Friendly and Suitable for the Whole Family The formula is gentle on the skin, which is great for those with sensitivities. I've used it on both adults and children without any irritation. Plus, it's safe to apply on clothing and gear without causing damage or stains. Convenient Size and Easy Application The 4-ounce tube is perfect for travel and fits easily into backpacks or pockets. The lotion format allows for precise application, ensuring you cover all exposed areas thoroughly. This makes it more efficient than aerosol sprays that can miss spots or get carried away by the wind. Why Choose Picaridin Over DEET? Picaridin is a newer repellent that offers similar efficacy to DEET but with several benefits: No Damage to Gear: Unlike DEET, Picaridin doesn't harm plastics or synthetic materials. Pleasant to Use: It's less oily and has no strong odor. Safe and Effective: Provides long-lasting protection without compromising safety. Pros: Long-lasting insect protection Non-greasy, fast-absorbing lotion Odorless and gentle on skin Safe for use on clothing and gear Compact and travel-friendly size Cons: Requires reapplication after swimming or heavy sweating Final Verdict The Sawyer Products SP564 Premium Insect Repellent Lotion is a must-have for outdoor enthusiasts and anyone looking to protect themselves from biting insects comfortably and effectively. Its superior formulation and ease of use make it a top choice among insect repellents on the market. Highly recommended for peace of mind during outdoor activities. ... show more

  • This stuff works!!
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: Lotion
Have not had a single bite since I’ve been using this - very impressive as I am a magnet for all sorts of biting insects. Nice consistency keeps my skin smooth. A bit sticky immediately after application but it absorbs quickly unlike most bug sprays which stay tacky for hours. No strong odor so at least it smells safer than deet as well. ... show more

  • TBD -- highly-rated, safe and effective
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: Lotion
I bought this highly-rated product at the end of August, but won’t be able to test it in the bug-infested woods until October. Consequently, I’ll update this review after I’ve used it in the woods. Sawyer's picaridin does NOT have an expiration date because it’s an extremely stable molecule (Sawyer's customer service agent said it’s stable for 10 years from its manufacturing date).. According to information on the Internet, Picaridin (also known as Icaridin in some countries) is widely considered one of the safest and most effective insect repellents available today. • Pros: Longest-tested; 12–14 hour protection; trusted brand • Texture: Smooth, dries quickly, non-greasy • Fragrance: Low to none • Best for All-day coverage in tropical and temperate climates Low Toxicity to Humans • Not classified as a carcinogen, mutagen, or reproductive toxin • No evidence of neurotoxicity, even in long-term animal studies • No significant skin absorption when applied topically (remains mostly on skin surface) • Safe for use on children as young as 2 months, per CDC and WHO guidelines ________________________________________ Skin and Eye Safety • Non-irritating to most skin types • Less likely to cause skin reactions than DEET • Does not damage plastics, eyeglasses, synthetic fabrics, or gear, unlike DEET • Mild eye irritation can occur if accidentally rubbed into eyes — rinse with water ________________________________________ Pregnancy and Breastfeeding • The EPA states that no reproductive effects have been observed in animal studies • Generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but as with all topical chemicals, use the minimum amount needed ________________________________________ Environmental Safety • Not considered toxic to birds or mammals • Low aquatic toxicity, though should not be intentionally washed into waterways • Does not bioaccumulate in the environment Picaridin (20%) is considered safe to apply on most exposed skin areas, including: • Face (including nose, ears, forehead, cheeks, and jawline) • Neck • Arms and hands • Legs and feet But as with any topical repellent, how you apply it makes a difference for safety and comfort. ... show more

  • Works great for a little while.
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: Lotion
First time buying this product since I had read reviews on how good it was. After using it, I have my doubts. Putting it on is a breeze and it goes on like a lotion. It dries pretty quickly too. If you go out around the yard it works really good. However, the effect does not last for very long. You have to reapply in order to keep the protection going. Also, you have to really get the lotion everywhere. I use it mostly on my legs and will say that if you dont get every single part of exposed skin areas, the mosquitoes for some reason will get at the one unprotected spot. ... show more
