I got bit twice while using it in Spain this year. It’s usually more than that though, Avon now do travel size as well which is useful.

I use it as an aftersun and the deet spray before going out. I don’t trust the Avon on its own

I found the same.
I get bitten here and it’s useless but don’t use anything in Florida and don’t think I’ve ever had a mozzie bite.

DD and I used it in Florida, both got bitten. DD had loads more bites than me, the spray didn't make any difference.

I’ve been using it for years and rarely if ever get bitten. Would never go abroad without it 👍

It's never worked for me, sadly. Doesn't deter the mosquitoes or the midges from feasting on me.

Me too I didn't find it to be any good either, I also buy off which does work well
