New formula doesn't work.
This new formula sucks. Don't buy it, total waste of money. They removed the ammonia and replaced it with Benadryl. Probably to save money.The old formula works because ammonia neutralizes the mosquito's anti-coagulant. If applied right after a bite, the old formula essentially prevents almost all reaction. I'm dealing with mosquitos in my house now, so I've been able to really test it. I get bit. I immediately apply the ammonia-based formula. Later... nothing. No itch, no bump. Of course if I wait too long, I get a bump and itch, and then there's not much I can do but wait.Now with this formula - nothing. I apply immediately after a bite, no effect, I still end up with a bump and itch. I apply it after a bite, like if I get bit while sleeping and then wake up to a bite, and still nothing.

After buying After Bite at the corner pharmacy, I realized it was not the same product we grew up with - roller ball with ammonia. THIS is the updated ammonia product I was looking for. I got it just in time too because my son received multiple stings after inadvertently driving our 4 wheeler over a nest of ground bees. Gave him 2 Benadryl plus applied this After Bite to his neck, back and ankle where he was stung. This definitely helped manage his pain. We applied this to spots on my niece's dog who was also stung because he was chasing the 4 wheeler when this happened - at first he kept pawing at the whelps but after application he stopped and seemed more at ease. Very scary event, but so thankful we had this After Bite on hand!

Superb product, works better than any alternative we tried. Beware that you don't use this in the dark. My husband got up in the night to make his way to where we store this, without turning on the light, he applied what he thought was afterbite--but in the darkness he'd picked up a highlighter, and wondered why his itches weren't going away. In the morning we saw he'd "highlighted" each bug bite he had, and using the real stuff the itching stopped instantly. Recommend this product highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Instant Relief from Bites!
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2017

Love this stuff; used it since I was a kid. This is the gel version, which works about the same as the more liquid one (old kind) in a longer/round-ish tube. The gel doesn't drip directly from the tube like the liquid one, and needs to be spread with finger (like Neosporin); both are great. Highly recommend. Reduces itchy sensation caused by mosquitos and 'no-see-ums'. Primary ingredient is baking soda, but the gel or liquid After Bite is easier and faster to put on than making your own baking powder paste. The tubes fit great in a purse or even a wallet or pocket. I bring one with me when boating or camping. Instant relief from bites!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good and effective but with limitations
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2015

Not the panacea that other reviews have indicated but still a good and effective product. I've not found it to be a "one-application and the itch goes away" product as has been stated by other reviewers - after a few hours the itch returns and you have to reapply the product. It does alleviate itch for awhile, Note that I'm not treating mosquito bites here but am dealing with chiggers (red bugs) whose itch is pretty aggressive.. And probably the bite sites are where clothes rub, so there's another factor involved. Another factor is I don't apply the product for many hours after the bite, so the litter boogers have injected enzymes and that's started dissolving my tissues by then and there's a deeper level of aggravation at work. Still, After-Bite is the most effective anti-itch treatment I've used even if it does require re-application. Oh, and don't apply it to broken skin -- it stings quite a bit.

This product is hard to find in my area. I found it on Amazon thank goodness. My favorite fishing hole is hard to get to, lots of tall grass, weeds and brush to walk through, also lot of red bugs. I use a good spray before heading out but two or three of those pesky bugs (aka Chiggers) manage to get to me. I carry a tube of after bite in my tackle box, it a must have ! Thanks Amazon !!!

Insane, mind bending, itch from two day old wasp sting on bottom of foot GONE! INSTANTLY, really! There is one little thing, for about 60 seconds it smells like cat wee, then it completely disappears. It’s waaaay worth it, aaaaaaaaah, the relief, and instantly, they’re telling the truth.

I am allergic to fire ants. I took this camping and it helped the bites not swell up as much as they usually do and heal faster. It's essentially just baking soda and tea tree with a substance to help it stick to your skin. Very handy in this little pen, though.

I know you want immediate relief from those bug bites. This is as good as it gets. Easy to carry and easy to use. Wait for the bug bite then rub this on,

I find that it doesn't provide "instant relief" but after a few applications it does work. Just have to be patient.

Just returned from Cayo Coco, Cuba last night and OMG the mosquito population is out of control there!! It's the rainy season in Cuba and they had a particularly rainy May so the mosquito population was rampant. Made for a completely miserable week, in addition to the terrible weather this time of year. (Lesson learned!) But this product saved both my husband and me from scratching ourselves to death! It smells bad -- kind like strong perm solution -- and stings for a second or two (but not on every bite), but definitely worth the purchase. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
