The insect repellent has the characteristic scent that some people find annoying. Personally, I don't. It is effective. However, this year, although I applied it to my body at night, later the mosquitoes were biting me again. I don't know whether the product is to blame or the mosquitoes have become immune to insect repellents.

It is effective but only for a few hours. You need to reapply it; its smell is strong at first, but after a while you don't notice it. Care is needed so that the child does not put their hands in their mouth. Very runny.

We got it for our little one, but with the first use as a test the child got upset and started crying, couldn't sleep, and then we realized that this was the cause. I haven't used it on her again. My husband uses it often.

I love its scent, although it is strong, but that makes sense because citronella smells like that. I see that for some it doesn't work and I don't understand why; I have a garden and when I go outside nothing comes near me. I see mosquitoes landing on me, but as soon as they land they leave immediately. I wouldn't trade it for anything. 4 stars because I would like it to last a little longer. After about 2 hours it needs reapplying

It is excellent for both children and adults.
A reliable choice among mosquito repellents.
It loses one star, first because of its price and second because its scent overpowers any other smell on the body (e.g. perfume, body lotion).
But despite that, its effectiveness remains flawless.

Very good product, if you exclude the initial shock of the smell - it is a bit strong at first and then no problem.
It has satisfactory lasting power and does not leave an oily feel.

It is one of the best insect repellent lotions, and if you find it on offer, even better.. it has a strong smell the moment you put it on, then it fades.. very good for small children too!

Because some people mention in their comments that the smell bothers them and that it would be better if it didn’t smell, I want to tell them that this smell repels mosquitoes. It is the smell of citronella. There is no other way.

First of all, I have to say about the cream that it is the best mosquito repellent we have tried. I have been putting it on my child since 6 months old without any problem, and of course the whole family uses it. Its smell is a little strong, but it is preferable to being bitten by mosquitoes.

Effective against mosquitoes. Its scent is a little strong at first but pleasant to most people who tried it and you get used to it. In the countryside, though, you won't get away unscathed.

Frezyderm Crilen as a second, accurate choice after the much-advertised competing rainwater.
As soon as it runs out, buy again without thinking.
edit: 6/10/25 what was written then was true, now not anymore and we are searching.

Unfortunately, without chemicals you can no longer get any peace from the improved mosquitoes that are out there. Quite effective, but at some point, it was as if even the mosquitoes themselves started using Crilen so that the other mosquitoes wouldn’t bite them!!!

It has protected my son since the first months of his life (initially only on his clothes, later also on his skin); I have not changed it for anything for 5 years now, and I do not intend to in the future either, because it combines excellent protection against mosquitoes with a very pleasant smell (at least for us) and a very skin-friendly formula for children’s skin (of course, the adults in the family use it too!)
