Advantages: great insect repellant

Disadvantages: not the best moisturiser in the world

I am a sucker for insect bites - I must have very sweet tasting blood because I get covered in the things.

This was recommended to me in February whilst in India after having to visit the doctor on the third day due to agonisingly painful bites. I was using deet. The ladies who recommended it subsequently gave me a bottle - human kindness still exsists!

I used it religiously along with the friends I was holidaying with, and I think if I got bit once or twice in this time I can't even remember it... frankly one or two is a vast improvement from 15+ per day.

It comes in an attractive bottle with a spray nozzle on the top. It is easy to apply and for my purpose I could reach every area of my body without support as it didn't need to be rubbed in. There was some left after 6 days and that was with 3 adults using it regularly (at least twice daily).

As for the product as a moisturiser. I found it just a little greasy and almost hard on my skin. However it does dry in quickly which is a bonus. I don't use it in the UK, but I have ordered two bottles, one for my upcoming holiday (which I have yet to book, but jumped at the chance when it was on offer at £1.75 in the recent AVON catalogue) and one for a colleagues partner after he mentioned she suffers from a similar problem.

Summary: A must in anyones holiday luggage
