Apply the sunscreen first, and then apply the insect repellent.

Review: Serious Protection for Serious Outdoor Days - Serious Protection for Serious Outdoor Days Repel Sportsmen Max Formula Lotion has become my go-to for heavy mosquito country — camping, fishing, or just doing yard work in the evenings. The 40% DEET formula really does the job; it’s one of the few repellents I’ve used where I can confidently say I didn’t get a single bite. The lotion form is a big plus over aerosols — easier to control, no overspray, and it goes exactly where you need it. It also means you’re not breathing in fumes or coating your clothes. The texture is surprisingly light for a DEET lotion — not greasy, not sticky, and it absorbs fairly quickly. Once on, you barely notice it. It held up well through several hours of hiking in warm, humid weather and even light perspiration. The scent is mild and fades quickly, which I appreciate. The 4-ounce tube is compact enough to toss in a pack or glovebox, and a little goes a long way. Just remember it’s meant for skin, not gear — DEET can damage certain plastics and fabrics. Bottom line: if you want maximum protection in a simple, no-nonsense lotion form, this Repel Max is a winner. Ideal for travelers, hikers, and anyone who’s tired of feeding mosquitoes.
Review: so I wanted to be sure I packed some good mosquito repellants to protect ourselves - My family just got back from a trip to Costa Rica. It's the wet season there now, and of course they have Zika, Dengue, etc., so I wanted to be sure I packed some good mosquito repellants to protect ourselves. Additionally, I'm a total mosquito magnet -- I once had a cloud of them follow me nearly 100 ft underground into a metro system and try to board a train with me :/ I relied upon this lotion, a 25% DEET Off Deep Woods spritz product, and Sawyer 20% Picaridin. Of the 3, I'd say this one was my favorite for using during the times I needed the most protection and peace of mind. I'd use either of the other 2 products during the day - going to lunch, hanging out on the beach, etc., but when we would go to dinner around dusk, and especially on the day we took a riverboat cruise through a nature preserve / jungle type environment, I mostly used this lotion. (Granted I've heard that the zika-carrying mosquitoes bite during the day, and I'm sure that's true, but we saw many more mosquitoes hovering around dusk and after rainstorms than at other times.) I liked that I could control exactly where I applied it and get an even coat (sometimes I feel aerosol sprays miss some spots) + the fact that I didn't have to breathe in aerosolled DEET. Anyone who uses DEET should be aware that it is not safe for use on synthetic clothing, plastics, rubbers, etc. If I sprayed my feet with DEET and then put on my rubber-type pool flops, I'd get black dye rubbing off on my feet from the shoes as the DEET damaged the shoes a bit. I also had an expensive swimsuit and didn't feel comfortable spraying DEET on it, so in these cases, I'd apply the lotion where it was safe and then spritz the picaridin product anywhere else. Always apply sunscreen first and let it sink in for a few min, btw, before applying repellant on top of it. I was so relieved to find that these various repellants worked great together at keeping us protected. After 8 days in Costa Rica, I came home without a single mosquito bite (or if I have one, I haven't found it!); my son only got 1, 0 for my daughter, but 4-5 for my husband who was a bit laxer about repellant application. Very happy with this lotion!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cream has real benefits!
*by M***Y on June 13, 2016*

I bought this cream to use for our 2 weeks in Belize. We took a couple other bug precautions, but I'm happy to report that we came home totally bite free after spending considerable time outside and in the jungle. To be fair I didn't see a lot of bugs around. But I did see plenty of people around with lots of bug bites. This cream doesn't have a strong smell once it is applied, which I really appreciated cause we put it on every day, including on our face and neck. I like the hole at the top it make it easy to clip to the outside of a backpack so it was easily accessible to put on. The easier they make it to reapply bug spray, the more likely I am to use it! Also because of the low smell (compared to sprays), I was able to put it on while riding in the car with others and didn't bother them. It's more convenient to put it on then trying to go away from the group and spray yourself down. This cream also went farther than we were planning on, so we ended up with extra left over, which is better than not enough. Overall happy with my experience with this and would be happy to continue to use it in the future.
