How often are you supposed to reapply this? My son's camp wants us to send them with a bug spray/ SPF combo product.

I'm reading the directions from the back of one of my bottles right now. It says to reapply after 10 hours for protection from deer ticks, 8 hours for mosquitoes, 6 hours for gnats, no-see-ums, sandflies, and biting midges. For sunscreen protections it says to reapply after sweating, towel drying, or swimming. According to the label it retains its SPF after 80 minutes of being in the water or sweating. It says to reapply as needed but no more than 3 times in one day.

The label says "Keep out of the reach of children. And adult must apply this product to children under the age of 10. Reapply after towel drying, swimming or sweating. APPLY AS NEEDED, NOT TO EXCEED 3 APPLICATIONS PER DAY. "

Yes. Most (if not all) sunscreens say to reapply after swimming or getting wet or after 2 hrs. The efficacy of the SPF fades away with time.

I do everyday. I let the moisturizer absorb completely and the apply the sunscreen. After that I use a CC cream over it. The CC cream also has sunblock. I have not been burned on my face so I believe the integrity of the sunscreen is still good. I have combination skin. I do reapply the sunblock in the late afternoon if I am going to be out in the sun again.

That all depends what "daily use" means. Are you planning on applying it liberally or only using a drop? Will you need to re-apply after 12 hrs, or just be using it once a day? How extensive is the surface area you'll need to cover each day? In my experience, one container will not last 2 weeks. It's pretty small, being only 2 oz.

Both in and out-I believe you can pull up a copy of the label for application instructions. I also sprayed all the bushes around the house where mosquitos tend to gather and had virtually no bites the whole summer! I believe that I got effective 1 year protection inside and out. It's good stuff!

You're directed to apply it twice a day, several hours apart. For me its before work and before bed (with ample time to let it dry). Also, spraying more frequently won't help you!

The directions recommend using once weekly, more often for problematic skin. I hope this information is helpful to you.

http://www.epi-pet.com/sunscreen.aspx ---states the sunscreen rates about an spf 30-40 (in human sunscreens) but you need to reapply every 2-4 hours they are outside or every 80 minutes if they are getting wet.

I use it under your spf day/night cream, try not to use it with AHA's. I would alternate the days you use both.

After maybe 2nd hand wash you will need to reapply. It's great lotion though if you can get past the price.

I actually talked to the company, they said once a year is sufficient. Preferably applied in spring, but not required then. Just do not apply it during possible freezing temps or a day of heavy rain.

If you see bugs again within 2 weeks, spray again. You need to really get all the crevices, cracks and tiniest places to be effective.

Yes. I reapply every 4 hours when I am not swimming and every 2 hours when I am swimming. I live in Florida near the beach and this sunscreen has never let me or my family down. Hands down one of the greatest products ever!

I actually ignore the instructions and apply in the morning after my shower. I have no complaints. I've occasionally done what is asked of me when I shower at night, but I still reapply in the morning. Habit I guess.

I just read the other response to your inquiry and feel compelled to add that this is very good product when used as directed. I use it on my children every summer and for extended vacations in the Caribbean every winter. It must be applied at least a half hour before sun exposure and reapplied regularly.

PS The key to using this product is to reapply it every hour or so if the bugs are thick or you are sweating.

I use this product once every 7 to 10 days and allow my skin to rebuild collagen..... Also I use this product 6 weeks on and 6 weeks off....I back off during end of spring and summer.because of warmer weather and the sun rays. Please wear a sunscreen of no less than 30. I also use a mixture of aloe, shea butter, and coca butter after I neutralize peel. I hope this helps you...
