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.

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I go hiking and camping often and am always looking for bug spray. This is a good size, still easy to fit in my backpacking gear. It's not a gross consistency, doesn't have any overwhelming smell to it. and it was a good price too. Will definitely use.

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 is good. It's not greasy or oily and it doesn't irritate the kids. It's comparable to off and I prefer it fragrance free.

I would definitely buy this again
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I had the opportunity to try this new product by Stem and I am glad I did. I like that it is a fragrance free mosquito and tick repellent. I also like that it's not greasy and is safe for the whole family. We live in an area that has a lot of ticks so the fact it also repels Lyme disease ticks is an added bonus.

Would definitely buy again!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement and exchange for my honest review. In my opinion, I think this repellent is much better than other products out there because for one it's fragrance free, doesn't leave a greasy slimy feel on your skin and it's also better for the environment. And from what I've learned, the main ingredient Picaridin can be more effective than Deet. That's a winner for me.

Love it so far! Reserving 5th star for buggy summer nights
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I love STEM products because I really like their efficacy, and I appreciate that the company is data-driven by science and hard facts. This mosquito and tick spray is another example of a great repellant that's safe for humans. Sprays quite nicely, too.

Bug Free & Fragrance Free
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I appreciate this fragrance free mosquito repellent. I'm happy this mosquito repellent doesn't have the usual smell of bug spray. It didn't feel greasy on my skin. I was in my backyard for 6 hours and not one mosquito bite.

Perfect DEET alternative! Works well!
Would RecommendI received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. The STEM For Your Skin Mosquito and Tick Repellent is an excellentalternative to DEET containing products. Its formula with picaridin effectively wards off pesky mosquitoes (I haven't seen any ticks, but they're not typical for our area), providing reliable protection against bites. I also like that the formula is scent free and does not have the overwhelming smell most bug sprays contain. It's an easy spray application, and I lo...

Just Leave Me Alone!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. The can says Fragrance Free however it does in fact have a scent when you initially spray it on but the scent dissipates within a couple of minutes. It's effective. I had no issues when I went hiking and the mosquitoes left me alone. It doesn't feel greasy but it leaves your skin feeling slightly sticky.

When I tried the insect repellent I was surprised to see the description on the can was very accurate. Upon trying it, I discovered that it was fragrance free and non greasy. This product is worth using.

stem mosquito repellent good
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tried numerous mosquito repellents, but STEM MOSQUITOES + trick repellent is by far the most effective. Not only does it keep mosquitoes at bay, but its trick repellent feature adds an extra layer of protection. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable mosquito repellent

Love this product!

Best repellent so far!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I've had trouble with mosquito bites ever since I was a kid. The sprays my mom would use helped a bit, but I always ended up with huge welt like, itchy bites. As an adult, I've tried a few brands of sprays to help me and my kids, who have the same mosquito issues as me. They helped more than the ones my mom used, but always felt greasy going on. We saw the STEM brand at the stor...

Easy To Apply, Non-irritating Protection
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. The first thing I noticed about STEM For Your Skin Mosquito + Tick Repellent Aerosol 6oz was how easy it was to apply. The repellent was also non-irritating, dried on to my skin clear, and did not feel greasy or heavy. I look forward to using this product to protect me from mosquito bites throughout the spring and summer months, especially when spending time outdoors being activ...

A must have for the family
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This has been a life saver for my family . I love how it is fragrance free and non greasy formula . I live out in the country and we tend to have alot of mosquitos. I always try to keep at least one of these handy for these pesky mosquitos.

No smell, no mosquitoes!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Mosquito and tick repellent is a must anytime I head out to the backyard. STEM has no smell and isn't powdery. It's slightly moisturizing, almost like a lotion. I like that it is safe for plastic, so hopefully my Crocs won't discolor when I spray my ankles!
