Coleman SkinSmart

This is an advertisement not a review. Regurgitating a press release doesn’t tell readers how well the stuff works. Did you actually compare it to 30% DEET? How long does it last? Numerous studies show DEET is still the most effective product. Where is the science supporting this stuff?

How did it do at repelling bugs? and in comparison to “brand x” DEET repellent? Would be nice to know if it works…

I will join the other commenters in asking “where is the review of how it actually repels insects?”

Also, I bought a couple of those sanitizing spray pens from CVS and have been refilling them with regular rubbing alcohol for a couple years now… could do the same with the spray pen here.

This was a new product test, not a comparison. In short, it kept bugs away, much like DEET does. And this product is a more “natural” choice, safe for infants as well as clothing.

Let me add my two cents. I tried this product, albeit only a couple of bug infested evenings now, and find that it worked quite dreadful compared to DEET products I have used for years. In fact, my family pretty much agrees the “Skin Smart” product is a rather poor repellent and thus we likely will not be using it any more this summer.

just get a therma-cell!!!!
