Avon Skin-So-Soft Bug Guard Plus IR3535 SPF 30 Lotions, 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)

I have used AVON Skin-So-Soft Bug Guard Plus for several years and I am totally satisfied with it. I am sensitive to the sun so I put it on my face and neck in the morning and I'm outside most of the day. I also wear a broad brim hat but it alone does not protect my face and neck. This one application works all day. It also totally fends off mosquitoes all day. They do not land on me and I have never gotten a bite where it has been applied. Mosquitoes fly around my head a bit but then fly off.One caution: I have noticed that the product attracts honey bees. And they follow me. But I have not been stung. So if you are allergic to bee stings be aware. I have not noticed any such behavior with hornets nor yellow jackets. Finally, the product also does keep my skin smooth and soft.Hint on use: I find the application is most even and product is conserved if I moisten (not dripping wet) my hands and then put the product (sparingly) in one palm. I then rub my hands together and then with both hands apply it to my face, ears, and neck being careful to not get it in my eyes. Applying excessive amounts of the product does not do any better. I spread the residual that is on my hands and fingers over the backs of my hands and my wrists.At least for me, it does all that it is advertised to do.

I brought this with us when traveling in China this summer. Mosquitos are usually really bad in Shanghai, and the IR3535 formula has been working really well (and safer too)! We were once surrounded by tons of mosquitos and no bites at all. There was once I forgot to apply and I was almost eaten alive...lolI highly recommend this product as it also serves as sunblock. My son was never burnt. So I guess it worked. But I don't recommend applying too often, as you are not supposed to apply bug repellent too often. So I used it mostly as bug repellent. Get another sunblock to apply on every two hours, if you are at the beach or something.

Okay, so I read scores of reviews on a dozen similar products, and Avon's Skin-So-Soft handily took the lead for effectiveness amongst the reviewers. Now that we ourselves are using it, I can only concur and likewise agree that despite the price, it is well worth its cost. No question but that Skin-So-Soft is a very effective deterrent for mosquitoes, fire ants, chiggers, etc., while it does a darn good job as a reasonably long-lasting sunscreen for the kiddoes. One application, two useful purposes.But that's only a portion of the reasons for buying this particular product. What makes it really different is that it is a lotion which doesn't make skin look nor feel greasy. It also has a pleasant, light scent --- it's Avon! --- that doesn't get to be too much as the day goes on. Most important of all, Skin-So-Soft, unlike so many other such products, does NOT BURN EYES whenever pool water or sweat drips down. Most highly recommended.

Works well on mosquitoes.Didn't like the smell, but it wasn't a bad smell.

I’ve used this product for years and I love it!

My co-worker recommended this me as I am allergic to mosquitoes as well as my daughter. I do not like the way other repellents feel or smell so I never use other options but this one smells good and isn't oily like the other ones! I also like the fact that this has SPF. You also want to make sure you do shake this before applying because if you do not, it is a little watery but when you shake the bottle first, the consistency comes out perfect. Will keep purchasing to keep on hand at all times!

I am so glad I purchased this product! I have Skeeter Syndrome (yes, it is a real thing... google it) and it sure does keep me from getting bitten by those pesky mosquitoes. It has a nice smell too! It "soaks in" really well and you don't need to "take a bath" in it. A little goes a long way. I am adding this to my "always have on hand" list and will be buying more when I start to run out! Would recommend.

Smells amazing!! Recommended by my pediatrician for the upcoming summer months here in Georgia. My daughter turns one in June (currently 9 months old). Prevents from mosquito bites AND sunscreen all in one. It's not too thick, making it much easier to apply than just plain baby sunscreen. Goes on smooth and thorough on my baby's skin. Also, a little goes a long way! My daughter has sensitive skin and baby eczema, but has no issues with this product whatsoever. I keep a bottle in my diaper bag at all times. I even can use it on myself - BIG WIN for our family!!!
