Insect Repellant

Hi can anyone help, I've just come back from a weekend where I've been savaged by mosqitoes. I used the jungle formula repellant but as always it doesn't seem to work. (I've also used citronella to no use)
The only thing I've found which works well is "Osi" an insect repellant I bought in the dominican republic on a holiday. I've searched for this on the internet to no avail.
Does anyone know of this product and where I could find it, or a repellant that actually works.
(ps. I don't want to cover my arms up before anyone suggests that)

Hi, we went to cyprus last year and got bitten loads we would spend our eveing comparing bites, My mum used soltan suncream with repellant in and she didn't get bitten once. I think it's because she was building the levels of repellant during the day. So that's what i have brought this time when we go to greece in two weeks.0

Try buying something with Deet in it. I used it in Vietnam and it kept most of the mossies away.
