I think that the citronella has been removed from newer versions.
I keep having to search Original Skin so Soft on ebay to get the stuff with citronella in to keep mozzies at bay.
As in simply look for original Skin so Soft rather than just Skin so Soft

My club lake is horrendous for Mozzies, i have tried loads of diffrent creams etc. The incognito i have found the best so far.
Ive brought a Backpacker Thermacell. It runs on gas, its defiantly makes a diffrence, i haven't been bothered by the mozzies on my last 2 sessions i have used it.

Il second the icognito spray. I use it for fishing and camping with the family and it works brilliantly.

Have to say that Incognito really works well for me on mozzies and horseflies - it also repels ticks I am told.

Yes, but just make sure you don't do that with the version which has deet in it. It will ruin your clothes and bivvy , but is brilliant for getting rid of the bitey little buggers

THERE isnt a version with deet in it mate poxy ****ty stuff

incognito® was born because both of the co-founders experienced first hand the downsides of using synthetic insect repellents. Howard contracted malaria then dengue within a year of each other (in Thailand and India) while using Deet and taking anti-malarial medication.

Meanwhile Patricia was on holidays on a trip to South America, she took Deet and a natural repellent. Patricia found herself unwilling to use Deet because there was no water treatment facilities in the middle of the Amazon where she was staying and it was so incredibly beautiful there it felt wrong for her to use such a toxic substance. But the natural repellent she took did not work so well.

Patricia and Howard then co-founded incognito®; a natural insect repellent that worked, with the ethos of not harming the wearer or the environment. Incognito® to make you invisible to mosquitoes.

DONT FORGET re apply after 5 hours forget the 7 they say

one of my mates bought some on my recommendation and phoned me up saying it didnt work ? turns out he put it on and never re applied it

I talked him into giving it another chance making sure he set an alarm on his phone 5 hours he is now a convert and always saying how fantastic it is keeps a supply in his car and uses it on his 3 year old and all the family on outings in the park
