Soffell Mosquito Repellent Lotion Review

With Green Cross no longer in existence, Soffell is now the most effective mosquito repellant I have tried in recent years. It's also better in terms of how long it can keep mosquitoes off than Off, Moskieshield, Human Nature, and Biteblock. It's on par with Guard in terms of performance. If any of these would be in the family stock, I would, hands down, get (with my teeth, kidding) Soffell. And maybe Guard.

Soffell Mosquito Repellent Lotions keep their promise of repelling mosquitoes for five hours, sometimes more. Their active ingredient is diethyltoluamide at 13%. I guess the contact number for the PGH National Poison Management and Control Center on its label should have clued us on how potent these are.

Soffell Mosquito Repellent Lotions are not thick, not liquid-y. They're light, easy to apply but still a tad sticky and warm on the skin, sensations I could do without but would rather endure than get bitten by mosquitoes.

There are three Soffell Mosquito Repellent Lotion variants. I have only tried Pinky and Orangee since they're the ones available at the drugstore I visited. They only differ in terms of scent. Pinky is a warm white floral (jasmine is quite pronounced) with similarities to Gucci Bloom. Even my sister who's not so much into floral scents likes it. Orangee, like it's name, smells of orange bubblegum. Fragrance becomes powdery as time pass. I'm eager to try Appely which more likely smells like green apples given the picture on the label. 

Soffell is manufactured in Indonesia and is sold everywhere else in the world in different formats. At some Mercury Drugstores, a 60ml bottle retails for P110.
