Overpowering Smell

Not Gentle for Pregnant Women

Scent Fades Quickly

Doesn't Cause Breakouts

Moisturizing

Hydrating

Soothing

Doesn't Set Well

Long-Lasting

Not Irritating

Even when sprayed, it doesn't seem to have much effect. I guess it's more of a psychological comfort.

The fragrance is pleasant and it's gentle enough for babies to use without irritation.

Since it's in spray form, to avoid getting it in your eyes when applying to your face, first spray it on your hands and then apply it to your face.

Being an American product, the price is a bit on the steep side.

I've been using this as a mosquito repellent for my whole family every summer since I bought it when my baby was born, thanks to its safe ingredients. It contains citronella oil, lemongrass oil, and cedar essential oil. When we go out, I mainly spray it on the baby's clothes or hat, and at bedtime, I spray it on the blanket.

Be careful not to inhale it when spraying, as it might make you sneeze.

It's gentle and doesn't cause any blemishes. The citrus scent is pleasant and not overwhelming.

I sprayed it over my clothes on my arms and legs, but it left wet marks on my face. My knees got a bit damp too. The scent isn't particularly strong, so areas where it doesn't spray evenly seem to attract mosquitoes.

It's great that it comes in various sizes - the smaller ones are perfect for carrying around. The spray is easy to use, and I appreciate that the scent isn't overpowering.

It's a bit pricier compared to other repellents. The scent is also quite strong and might be polarizing. I initially disliked the intense fragrance, but I've gotten used to it now and find it okay.

I've been consistently using this product as a mosquito repellent. My child shows severe allergic reactions when bitten, with significant swelling and even impetigo. I mainly use it on my 4 and 7-year-old kids, and it definitely reduces mosquito bites. Thankfully, according to the Hwahae app, the ingredients themselves aren't bad!

The scent is quite strong. Although it's said to be harmless to humans, the sharp, pungent smell makes me a bit cautious about spraying it when there are people around.

I've been using this for over 3 years. After spraying this, I've hardly ever been bitten by mosquitoes. When summer comes, I stock up and keep one in every bag and even in the car. It's an absolute summer essential.

For better effectiveness, try spraying it lightly on your clothes as well, not just your skin.

If I had to nitpick, the scent is a bit strong. But then again, this is true for all mosquito repellents, so it's not really a flaw specific to this product. After all, how can you repel insects with a pleasant fragrance when they're attracted to human skin by smell? If you want to protect your blood, your nose has to make a sacrifice too!

In Bali, I practically drenched myself with this, applied SPF 50+ sunscreen, and topped it off with sun spray before dashing out to play. Guess what? Not a single mosquito bite! For someone who's usually a mosquito magnet, this was a real win. I highly recommend it to surf and beach enthusiasts. As someone who loves spending summer outdoors, I'm just grateful for such a skin-friendly insect repellent.

If I had to point out a downside, it might be that the fragrance is weaker than other adult products, so you may need to reapply more frequently. Oh, and if you're prone to losing caps like me, the lid design might be a bit inconvenient.

I was skeptical when a friend recommended this, but after trying it, I'm absolutely in love and will definitely repurchase! The scent is milder compared to other brands, and most importantly, it doesn't pill at all! Even the adults in my family have started using it.

While it feels moisturizing when applied, there's a slight sticky feeling, making a shower afterwards a must. I've tried other products too, but they all seem to have that same stickiness.

First off, the fragrance is lovely. It seems the scent needs to be maintained for the product to be effective, so I reapply it every couple of hours during long outings. This is definitely a product I find myself purchasing again and again.

Since it's a spray type, it tends to dissipate quickly. You need to reapply frequently, which I found inconvenient.

The fragrance was lovely. It also provides some protection against mosquitoes.

The fragrance seems a bit too strong to spray on a baby. I thought it would last for 6 months, but after about 3 months, both the color and scent changed. I regret buying such a large quantity.

I used this last year because I was worried about my baby getting bitten by bugs. The scent was strong, but I didn't mind it.
