Review: No more DEET for us! - This product kept 3 adults bug-bite free while hiking the northern shore of Lake Superior in MN for 4.5 days in June. The area has many waterfalls within .5 to 3 miles of the main road, MN 61 Northeast. Very wooded terrain known for ticks and MOUS (mosquitoes of unusual size). We treated our outer clothing with permethrin, and used Proven Picardin on exposed areas. It went on easily, disappeared on skin and we didn’t detect any scent. Our new go-to for insect repellent. Also, I have eczema and Proven didn’t irritate/aggravate my skin. Review: This is the best repellant I have found! - This works better than any other repellant I have tried and it is very easy to use! I have been getting bites on my lower legs and tops of my feet very often when I go out for a walk and it has been driving me crazy. Now I can just put this lotion on my legs and feet in the morning and haven't had any more bites since using. Sometimes I'll put on more if I am going out in the evening but I don't know if its even necessary. Great stuff and this brand is very nice feeling lotion, not sticky like another brand I tried. Just really great overall. ## Features - EFFECTIVE PROTECTION – Proven Insect Repellent Lotion offers effective protection from mosquitoes, ticks, black flies, biting flies, stable flies, gnats, chiggers, sand flies, and no-see-ums (Scottish biting midges). - LONG-LASTING AND BROAD SPECTRUM – With a single application, Proven Insect Repellent Lotion effectively repels mosquitoes and ticks for up to 14 hours, and repels flies, gnats, chiggers, and no-see-ums for up to 8 hours. - FAMILY CARE: According to the CDC, Picaridin is safe for use on children (over 2 months old), pregnant and breastfeeding women when used as directed, so you can use it with confidence on the whole family. - DEET-FREE, CONTAINS 20% PICARIDIN – The CDC and World Health Organization recognizes Picaridin as a safe and effective active ingredient in insect repellents. - NOT STICKY, OILY OR GREASY: For everyday use, Proven Insect Repellent Lotion offers protection you don't feel. - AVAILABLE IN ODORLESS AND GENTLE SCENT: No added fragrances?

I have been getting bites on my lower legs and tops of my feet very often when I go out for a walk and it has been driving me crazy.

Just really great overall. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Repels chiggers, I'm sold *by 2***M on 23 June 2022* I bought this product to take with us on a tropical vacation as an alternative to DEET products. Nothing like going to a restaurant and smelling like Deep Woods Off. A little skeptical so took the DEET as a back up, but this stuff works. There is a slight smell (to me) when I put it on but quickly fades. You can tell you have applied it but it's not sticky like DEET and NO SMELL. And the best part? It works. I used it in Belize and now use it at home. We have chiggers (if you do not know what those are, well, count yourself lucky. They are the itty-bitty, spawns of Satan that embed in your skin in places NOTHING should embed in (pantylines, crotch area, underboobs, anywhere that is hot and... uhm, humid) and itch 100x more than a mosquisto bite. However when I remember to put this on - NO CHIGGER bites (no mosquitos either except where I didn't apply). I have taken to putting it on my legs every morning so when I'm chasing my dog through the daisies, I'm safe. Really can't recommend it enough. Can't speak to tick repellant as that isn't a huge issue where I live. Going to try the spray next as I can then spray on clothes for when I'm thrashing through the brush and trees after my wayward mutt. I don't know about water resistance, I reapplied when I came out of the ocean. I never got bit by the sand fleas/flies that plagued my first trip to Belize however. It does wash off OK. From my research, Picaridin can be toxic to fish in large quantities and isn't good for salamanders but "seems" to be 'safer' than DEET. But I'm not a scientist so don't come at me about how wrong I may be. I'm just a dog mom and traveler that found this product to work well for my needs. ## Frequently Bought Together - Proven Insect Repellent Lotion – Protects Against Mosquitoes, Ticks and Flies - 6 oz, Odorless 2-Pack2 - Proven Insect Repellent Spray, Keep Mosquitoes, Ticks and Flies Off, DEET Alternative Repellent, Up to 12-Hour Protection, Great for Camping or Hiking, 6 oz, Odorless Spray, 2 Pack - Sawyer Products SP657 Premium Permethrin Insect Repellent for Clothing, Gear & Tents, Trigger Spray, 24-Ounce --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/460798488-proven-insect-repellent-spray-for-mosquitoes-ticks-and-black-flies](https://www.desertcart.us/products/460798488-proven-insect-repellent-spray-for-mosquitoes-ticks-and-black-flies) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-27*
