Just works for me.

Works. Citronella this year is working to keep the skeeters away.
I have other products which are essential oil based and they are not working this year. Hungry buggers!
I don't use this as soap. I use this with small amounts of water and lather up all over. I like the citronella smell which is better than other more chemical products.
Haven't had any skin reactions or drying out on my end. Only thing happening is the skeeters stay away from me.

The low/no suds thing makes me nervous using it, but it tackled everything but grease without problem.

This stuff is wonderful. I use it in the shower daily and I got the least amount of bites in my entire life last year. I love this product and tell everyone I know how great it works!

First, there's no type "A" or type "B" citronella! There are about 4 types of citronella (that I know of) and 2 are used for commercial citronella production. The principal chemical constituents of citronella oil are citronellol and geraniol. Citronellol is what makes it effective as a mosquito repellent and there is about TWICE as much citronellol in the Java type as the Ceylon type making it preferred, however, that also makes the Java type more toxic (category III = slightly toxic) compared to the Ceylon type (category IV = practically non-toxic).
Second, citronella oil does NOT "dry the skin" (hint... "OIL"). If a commercial product drys the skin it's likely it's one of the other components in the product. Citronella oil is volatile/unstable, meaning it will evaporate readily, which is why you need a stabilizing, carrier oil/mix (typically anywhere from 0.5% to 10%), so in mosquito-infested areas, you WILL need to reapply! (you may want to use a citronella candle or two and/or a smoky fire on the trail). How often you need to reapply depends mostly on the mix used in making the application and the application type. Lotions are longer lasting than sprays, but generally, protection will last anywhere from about 30 minutes for soaps to about 3 hours for lotions. As to the mix or "recipe", it can be as simple as 15 drops lavender oil, 10 drops citronella oil, 5 drops lemon oil (mix, put in a spray bottle, fill the rest with water. Shake and spray away from eyes) or something more complicated.
If I'm on the trail, and I expect mosquitoes, I use a citronella candle in the tent and a smoky fire outside the tent, along with all the usual precautions. Since mosquitoes find you by sense of smell, washing helps make it more difficult for mosquitoes to find you. Washing with a citronella product can only help.
