OFF Clean Feel Insect Repellent Spritz with 20 Picaridin Bug Spray with Long Lasting DEET-Free Protection from Mosquitoes

I’ve tried a lot of insect repellents over the years, and this Picaridin Clean Feel spray is by far my favorite. The biggest difference is how comfortable it is to wear—unlike traditional bug sprays, it goes on light and smooth without that sticky, greasy residue. Once applied, it dries quickly and feels almost like you’re not wearing anything at all, which is a huge plus in hot or humid weather. The protection is outstanding. I live in an area with heavy mosquitoes and biting flies, and this spray keeps them away for hours. I’ve used it for camping, hiking, and even just relaxing in the backyard, and I haven’t had to constantly reapply. It also doesn’t have that harsh chemical smell—there’s only a mild, clean scent that fades quickly. Another thing I really appreciate is that it doesn’t damage clothing or gear. I’ve sprayed it while wearing synthetic athletic clothes and while carrying a backpack, and there was no staining or fabric breakdown like I’ve seen with DEET-based sprays. It also feels gentle on the skin—I haven’t experienced irritation even with repeated use. Overall, this spray gives me the perfect balance of effectiveness and comfort. It’s strong enough to handle serious mosquito country but pleasant enough to use every day without thinking twice. If you want reliable bug protection without the sticky mess, this is the one to get.

Excellent. No smell and not sticky at all. Bought to take on our trip to Thailand where you need a good mosquito repellent. Mosquitos there carry harmful, deadly diseases. This product did not disappoint, neither myself or my husband got one mosquito bite the whole 15 day trip. And there were mosquitoes everywhere. Excellent product Would highly recommend. We liked both the spritz and the gel. Of trying to decide between the two, I would get the gel. A tiny amount spreads a long way. Loved it! Read more

I am a certified mosquito magnet. Like, I can step outside for five minutes and come back with three bites — it’s ridiculous. But since I started using OFF! Clean Feel with Picaridin? Not one bite. Not during runs. Not during long park walks. Not even during humid summer evenings. This stuff is legit. What I love most (aside from the fact that it actually works) is that it doesn’t feel gross. No greasy film, no sticky residue, no heavy smell. It goes on smooth, dries fast, and just stays. For hours. I can sweat through a full run and still be protected — it doesn’t budge. If you’re tired of being a walking buffet for bugs, this is the real deal. I won’t go a summer without it. Total game-changer. Read more

Today I did an experiment to see how effective this spray is at preventing me from getting bit. Before I share my experience first let me say this spray is great at not leaving me feeling greasy and stinking of bug spray. There is a fairly strong scent when applying so I recommend doing it outside but once it’s been applied I can’t smell it or feel it at all. As for effectiveness I would rate it a 6 out of 10. This morning I walked my normal nature trail walk with my dog and in the one picture you can see how badly I was attacked by mosquitoes. I wasn’t wearing any bug spray that morning and I paid for it. I decided I would use this an opportunity to test how effective the spray was since I already had my control without it. About 12 or so hours later I did the same walk but I sprayed the bug spray everywhere except my face. The second picture you see is the result of that walk, I didn’t get a single bite on the back of my neck. I did get one bite under my left ear and one on my right temple but as I said I didn’t have any spray there. That’s an important point to keep in mind, this spray seems to only work where it’s applied so if you miss a spot you will likely get bit there. I still had some mosquitoes buzzing around me and I swatted a few away but to come out with two bites instead of over twenty was great. Overall I think this is a great product. It was effective enough at reducing the amount of mosquito bites I got while not leaving me sticky and stinky. My main issue with it is it’s not a great repellant, you will still get mosquitoes buzzing all around you. It’s also only effective where it’s applied, if you missed a spot you’re probably going to get bit there so make sure you are thorough when applying. I think if I was camping or in deep woods I would stick with a stronger spray but if you are looking for an everyday spray for casual walks this what you want. Read more

I used this insect repellent in Arizona over the summer when the mosquitoes were really bad. Mosquitoes usually love me, but I can’t stand strong-smelling bug sprays because they irritate my nose and give me a headache. This one had a very subtle scent and felt comfortable on my skin, while still doing a great job keeping bugs away. It was also a great size to fit in a small bag. I never felt like I was coated in a harsh chemical smell, which made it easy to reapply when needed. Overall, it worked well and was much more pleasant to use than traditional bug sprays. I will definitely be buying this again. Read more
