Lifesystems Maximum DEET Mosquito & Insect Repellent Expedition Pump Spray

We tried many different types of repellent on our holiday in Turkey and this appeared to work the best. It is quite oily/greasy but, no bites where it was applied!

I honestly can’t recommend this insect repellent enough! I’ve always been someone who gets bitten badly by insects, and in the past my bites have become so severe that I’ve even needed antibiotics.I used this spray on holiday and was absolutely amazed — I didn’t get bitten once! It was easy to apply, didn’t feel too unpleasant on my skin, and gave me real peace of mind knowing I was protected.After having so many bad experiences with insect bites, finding something that actually works this well has been a game changer for me. I’ll definitely be buying it again and would highly recommend it to anyone who gets bitten easily.

I’ve been using this insect repellent while travelling and so far it seems to work well. It has a fairly oily consistency, which is probably the main downside for me, as it doesn’t absorb into the skin particularly quickly and can leave a noticeable greasy feeling.On the positive side, I was expecting a strong chemical smell because of the high DEET content, but the odour is actually quite mild and not particularly unpleasant. I also found it effective at keeping mosquitoes and other biting insects away during use.I found it easier to spray a small amount into the palm of my hand first and then spread it over the exposed areas of skin, rather than spraying it directly onto the body. This gives me better control over how much I use and makes it easier to apply evenly.The pump spray itself is straightforward to use and the bottle is a convenient size for travelling. Just bear in mind that, because of the oily formula, I would avoid applying it immediately before handling things you don’t want to get greasy.ProsSeems effective against mosquitoes and other biting insectsMild odour compared with what I expected from a high-DEET productEasy-to-use pump sprayConvenient for travelConsQuite oily and leaves a greasy feeling on the skinBetter applied to the palm first rather than sprayed directly onto the bodyOverall, this is a practical insect repellent that seems to do what it is supposed to do. The oily texture is the main drawback, but the relatively mild smell and apparent effectiveness make it a good option when reliable insect protection is the priority.

Really good stuff! Have used this on both my holidays and wasn’t bitten when everyone else was! A travel nurse told me this is the stuff to buy rather than other brands available from the mainstream shops; it’s more repellent apparently. It’s a little greasy when first applied; give yourself plenty of time when applying for it to soak into your skin before you wear the clothes you want to wear. Spray it in an open area as it has quite a strong smell to start with, but this does go. I will definitely be buying this again and definitely recommend.

Perfect, oil based, strong and lasts for hours

Works really well without being greasy

Brilliant. Would highly recommend does the job
