Introduction
Mosquito repellent mainly contains ingredients such as menthol and eucalyptus oil, which have a cooling and itch-relieving effect and help soothe the skin. For minor discomforts such as insect bites, mild burns, scalds, or skin itching, noticeable relief is usually felt within 5 to 30 minutes after applying the repellent. This is because the ingredients in the mosquito repellent can quickly penetrate the skin surface.
Generally, using flower dew water can relieve discomfort within 5 to 30 minutes, although the exact time may vary.

For minor discomforts such as insect bites, mild burns, scalds, or skin itching, noticeable relief is usually felt within 5 to 30 minutes after application. This is because the ingredients in flower dew water can quickly penetrate the skin surface, providing a calming and anti-inflammatory effect.
When applying flower dew water, if you apply an appropriate amount onto the skin and massage gently with your fingers to promote absorption, it can be absorbed and take effect within a short period. However, excessive use or incomplete absorption by the skin may cause the product to remain on the skin surface for an extended time, reducing its effectiveness and prolonging the time it takes to work. It should be noted that flower dew water only serves as an adjunct for severe skin itching or swelling and cannot provide a cure. In such cases, medical advice should be sought, and medication should be used according to the physician's instructions.
When using flower dew water, attention should be paid to using an appropriate amount and avoiding application on broken skin or sensitive areas. During use, it should be stored out of reach of children.
