I have rather serious allergies, and everything makes me break out in hives.  I've been a use of a competing product for almost 30 years.  But, it leaves white streaks on my clothes.  I'm tired of looking like the chalk stripe on "CSI".  So, I gave this a try and was happy that it was not only as effective as the other product, but - no more looking like a victim on the sidewalk.  Although it does destroy my chances of Mariska Hargitay looming over me, this does smell better and it's nicer to my clothes.
