What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this mosquito and tick repellent for its non-greasy, fragrance-free formula that feels light and fast-drying on skin. Reviewers consistently report strong protection lasting up to eight hours, even in high-exposure environments, with many noting the picaridin active ingredient is equally effective as DEET but gentler. The even spray mist applies easily and works well for sensitive skin without irritation. Most customers express strong intent to repurchase and recommend it to others. A very small number mention minor issues like faint odor or occasional staining, but these are outliers in overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Good repellent
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This product worked great against mosquitoes at the park. It says it was fragrance free but I did still smell a fragrance. It wasn't bad though. It's not sticky on the skin. I would purchase again.

Pleasant option for dangerous pest repellent
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I actively look for mosquito and tick repellent with picaridin, so I was glad to find this. it is lightweight and smells pleasant. it dispenses easily but doesn't seem to leak or accidentally discharge.

I am definitely buying more to always keep in stock
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I decided to use this product in my backyard where I get mosquitoes all year round especially in warmer months due to living near a reservoir. When I applied this product while outside following the directions I didn't notice a harsh smell like some other products. I really liked the product being fragrance free seeing that I also have cologne on my clothes. I liked how quick an...

Great Product Even for Sensitive Skin
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I really like the spray application of this STEM mosquito and tick repellent. The spay goes on nice and evenly and doesn't leave any type of sticky residue on your skin. It has a faint sweet smell that dissipates very quickly, so I would agree that it is fragrance free. My child and husband both have eczema and this product did not irritate their skin. It also seems to work as i...

Great product!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I was very excited to try the STEM Mosquito + Tick Repellent. The label says it is fragrance-free, non-greasy, and repels mosquitos for up to 8 hours! We get a lot of mosquitos in Florida and this product definitely protected me when I was in my backyard this evening. Usually I get bitten up but not this time. I would highly recommend this product to anyone!

STEM seems to live up to its claims!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. It's very nice that the product is fragrance free, however, a faint pleasant smell can be detected if you get your nose close enough. It takes about 10 minutes after product application for the skin to be what I would call "non-greasy". It seems to be repelling insects here in my yard. I look forward to putting it to the test at the beach!

I would buy again
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This is an "I will buy" bug repellent product. I really like it doesn't have strong smell (sometimes fragrance free products have some chemical smell), it won't leave wield smell or compete with my perfumes. And it won't leave grease or white powder on body. Also, the spray is very fine. Hopefully it will really work for 8 hours.

Better Bug Spray
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This product is very light on the skin and does not leave a sticky feeling like some other bug repellants. The spray also does not have a pungent odor but rather a light fragrant smell. The packaging is very appealing to the eye and explains in detail the use of the product with first glance.

No bites and not greasy!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have received product reimbursement for my honest review. The STEM mosquito repellent seems to work great. there really isn't an odor and dry quickly on your skin. I put it on and did some yard work and was not bothered by any mosquitoes! seems to be a good product that is working well. Definitely doesn't feel greasy.

No scent!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Wow! I didn't believe the fragrance free claim on this repellent, but it really had very little scent. It is much more enjoyable to use than any other repellent I've tried. It is not very noticeable when on and seems to keeps the bugs away well.

Nice dual product
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I like that this product works to repel both mosquitoes and ticks. The can has a powerful spray, so use caution when spaying so that you don't overdo it. The product went on the skin well and did not leave much of an odor.

The packaging is nice. I like the fact that it does not leave me a sticky and the fact that it also repels ticks since I'd like to camp a lot

No chemical smell
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This product is fragrance free and it does not feel greasy on my skin. I do not like scented mosquitoes spray since it gave a herbal or chemical smell. So far I am happy with the product.
