 Always has been the best!! August 7, 2008
I am 32 years old. I remember as a child my twin brother went away camping, and my mother packed a bottle of Skin So Soft body oil (the original product) by avon in his bag. Bugs loved my twin brother for some reason (even in the house every summer. He would have huge bites every summer on his body. He was allergic so the bite spots would swell up), but bugs would not go near him on that particular camping trip-after applying the oil. This was back in the 90's late 80's, before Avon started making "Insect Repellent". So of course this particular product was inspired from the original Skin So Soft product. Today as an adult & mother, I work with kids, and my class (4 & 5 year olds)recently went to a park for a field trip (huge park, wooded, grassy, lots of trees), and one of my students had this spray. He said his mom loves it for him & his brother. Its great because it is good for the skin (DEET free), has sun block, fragrance free, water proof, & bugs stay faaar away from you. I even asked him if I can have some to spray on me. I am about to get a can of the spray for my 2 kids!! Great product, always has been. Must have product for the entire family.
Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Picaridin August 1, 2008
Skin so Soft Bug Guard Plus Picaridin is a great bug spray. When we take walks in the evening we use this to repel bugs and it work well. The smell is nice and it doesn't irritate my skin. It's a bargain at $5.99 when it's on sale and it's on sale most of the time. Also, it's nice that you don't have to wash it off like bug sprays that contain deet.
Concerning the Avon pricing mistake which is why this products is rated so low, all I have to say is that it sounds like a honest mistake, they can't send that many free products, can you imagine how much money they lost? I'm also wondering if anyone actually thought that it was a promotion or were people just trying to get the products for free even though they knew it was a mistake.
Overall, Avon is a great company with some wonderful products and I highly recommend this bug spray!
Excellent Repellent, Worked great for camping July 30, 2008
This is an excellent product, I highly recommend it, don't listen to all the pissed off people who didn't get their Avon orders for free and are just venting as they wouldn't be able to tell you how great this product was. I went camping and not a single bite, didn't even see mosquitoes around me. The smell is pleasant also unlike other DEET products I've used.
Best Spray for dual purpose July 29, 2008
This product is awesome. It is a bug guard this keeps all the bugs and mosquitoes away, and it also keeps the skin smooth and soft. No irritations. Nice product.
Great Product July 28, 2008
This spray does what it says it will do. It keeps the bugs away, as bugs tend to bug me a lot. It works better than other sprays I have bought at Retail stores and it does not smell as bad as some of them (DEET). I would recommend it.
