I use skin so soft oil from Avon. It seems to work well and I started using it after a serious biker (a guy) told me that was all he used.

same here - but beware, it makes nail polish all smudgy!!! (It can also take the finish off, and make it flat, not shiny.)

I swear by Skin So Soft! Doesn't smell bad AND keeps the bugs away!

I am extremely allergic to mosquito's.
The one that works for me is OFF, DEEP WOODS.

ETA:
When I get bit, I put witch hazel on right away, so they don't swell up and itch. They are gone by the next day.
