Good insect repellent for sensitive skin. Which is best spray or cream or both?
How many needed for 4 people for a week ?

The best repellent & amount depends on where you’re going. Is this midge spray for Scotland or tropical insect repellent for Australia?

If you’re going to Europe this one is good, I’ve got very sensitive skin and am very allergic to insect bites, it repels very well and doesnt cause skin issues.

Incognito! I can’t use deet but incognito is very gentle on the skin yet also effective - I’ve even used it in the tropics and not been bitten

I use Incognito.
