Citronella

Citronella masks the human fragrance that insects – especially mosquitoes! – love. This is a summer must-have for any outdoor activities! Its lemony citrus aroma mixed with grassy, woody tones smells so much better than traditional bug sprays full of chemicals and is safe for inhalation.

    Best Bug Repellent! Best citronella I've found - super effective and smells great! I'm very prone to bug bites so I use this for summer nights to repel mosquitoes and other bugs. I've used it in sprays, blends and I want to try in a candle next!

    Citronella Have a lot of bugs where I live that the slumlords will do nothing about. So Revive has been very helpful with their chats, emails answering my questions over multiple types of bugs in a high rise for elderly & disabled. So, I've discovered nooseeums, biting migers, vile flies you can't see. I bought this first recently April 2024 after buying a lot of lemon Eucalyptus from Revive. I diffused it when these white things you can't see which the females will bite into you to feed their egg sacks, lay eggs even in your furniture. They'll even crawl up or down into your clothes. These outside bugs don't like Citronella either and I do like to use it alone. I have discovered to diffuse with Lavender to calm my anxiety. Plus bugs go away for awhile so I can sleep.It smells good too by itself. Buying more because I'm too beat down to move in this economy. Thankful for Revive. 💜 Will pay them more than overPT. Recent convo with them over my son buying me something with his debit card staying with me, must have
    been their points, so they argued my son's card had a problem but Revive took it and my son approved this. Lavender is better with Revive than others. Going to buy their bigger bottles of lavender and lemon now instead of smarty mouth n oh no extra points for seperate accounts from other company. Whatever I'm poor but don't play games. Revive I always like everything they have but have been buying bigger bottles from PT of lavender, lemon and tea tree. I'm not saying I won't take advantage of their sales but to set my son on a path to calling a bank and I said to him use it on Revive like before .. no bank problem. This Citronella I just got is great. I'm still going to get Revive's Lemon Eculyptus. I love their bugs Away blend to put on outside but it seems to make some bugs get wacked diffusing but that's not their blend it's just the slumlords. As for Revive I do wish that
    they had bigger bottles of tea tree. I'm going to just pay more to Revive this time for their stronger tea tree and am also going to buy another of Revive diffuser, the Halo from them for this Spring, Summer Fall. I already have the Oasis in my bedroom. I am ordering soon a large order for my income. So fed up of buying stuff for outside bugs but thanks to Revive last year finding them I've figured out what works with with what bugs, got deals on blends and great sales. I wish this company the best, they've been good to me.

    Switched companies! I LOVE Revive! I used to be a die hard customer of the other big name oil seller that required me to purchase through an independent distributor. I thought they were the only product that had the quality grade oils I needed. A friend sent me to Revive and the oils are AWESOME! And so easy to buy either on their site or even amazon and I get them fast and way less expensive. Now instead of a few oils I am able to have a full cabinet of “first aid” oils for every need for my family. Just to add: I ordered a replacement for an oil I had run out of and the USPS failed to deliver it properly and left it on my porch instead of the locker box I provided. A dog chewed the box up and my oils were lost. I notified Revive and they immediately sent a replacement! Customer service is amazing! I’ll never get oils from anyone else again.

    Great customer service I accidentally ordered the wrong EO and after a few emails. One of the staff members gave me store credit and said to give my extra EO to my friend and not worry about sending it back. This makes it so much easier for me. I was able to quickly resolve my mistake and get what I needed for my friend. Plus, I’m thrilled by the outcome and the way Revive handled my situation. Not to mention, I love their EO’s and just keeps me singing their praise’s!!! Thank you 😊

    Top Tier Customer Service and Products! This has been such a great shopping experience and the products were amazing quality! I ordered a set of Essential Oils and a Shower Diffuser for my Step-Mom for Christmas. Revive was the most affordable and trustworthy option I found from the research I've done. I did order just under 2 weeks before Christmas, I was hoping it'd get here by then, but tracking wasn't updating. I messaged customer service only to see if they had additional information on the tracking, but they instead immediately sent me out another package just incase the original one was lost. They said if I were to receive both packages to let them know and they'll provide me a free return label so I can send the extra one back. I'm so happy with the products from the first package that I asked if I can purchase the second package instead of returning it! I did receive the second package and tried everything yesterday. They smell amazing, they appear to be great quality, and I will be a returning customer! I've also be raving to my friends and family about Revive :)

    Great customer service I’ve been ordering from Revive for 10 or more years. Rarely do I run into issues regarding my order or the oils. This time I had ordered one thing and received another. I’m not sure where the misunderstanding came in, but I received another incorrect oil. I contacted customer service and they made the needed correction, no argument. I will continue to make Revive my preferred essential oil provider.

    I really like the Immunity Boost line- please don't let any of it go away! I really like the Immunity Boost laundry detergent because it not only cleans well, it also deodorizes my husband's nasty workout clothes, sanitizes our towels and generally makes everything smell great! I LOVE the Immunity Boost Foaming hand soap and that it comes in a refill size bottle-now every sink leaves hands smelling great and boosts immunity too. My big wish now is that Revive would hurry and get the Immunity Boost Dishwasher Pods back in stock again before I run completely out.

    TERRIFIC CUSTOMER SERVICE Unfortunately, I've received two bottles that were leaking before I even opened the box. One of those was the replacement bottle that Revive shipped out RIGHT away when I noticed I had an issue with the first. Instead of a simple apology, they are making it right AGAIN and are actually getting down to the bottom of it. They asked for lot #s on the bottles (which wipe away with the oil, so be careful before trying to clean up bottles if you have this issue!) because they are a company that actually wants to improve and correct problems. THIS IS THE TYPE OF COMPANY WE NEED IN THE WORLD. I've spoken with two representatives and they've been WONDERFUL to work with- kind, supportive, and understanding. I cannot say enough about REVIVE!

    Oh, and their oils are great! (HAHA) Truly, THE WORKS oil roller is incredible. I used to use DEEP RELIEF from YL, but this is a fraction of the price and it works just as well! I also got the STRONGER EO, and I'm in love.

    All in all- REVIVE is where it's at! <3

    I recently received the twin pack of crystal hanging diffuser. What a game changer! They are so nice that I actually kept them for myself rather than gift them. I have one in my bedroom and one in my car, and although I put different essential oil blends in each one, they both are discreet and effective in delivering a wonderful scent. Thank you for this new product.

    Sinus Relief - it works! For months and months I have been suffering with sinus drainage. This meant needing to cough and clear my throat dozens of times throughout the day. It also meant that I had to sleep in an upright position. After just one week using Sinus Relief, no more drainage, coughing and throat clearing. And last night - for the first time in months - I was able to sleep laying down!!

    Quick and Friendly My Mom is the one who got me started with essential oils. At first, I was using another company, but then I discovered Revive, and they're a lot purer and healthier, so I only use them now. Anyway, I've never had a reason to reach out to Customer Service before, but recently I goofed on an order, and they were so quick to get back with me and fix everything. The whole impression was...kind. Very refreshing in this day and age!

    Love, love, love Revive! I've been super happy with my experience with Revive so far. I have bought the following essential oils and products: Breathe Air oil, Mountain Bliss oil, Eucalyptus oil, Frankinsence oil, Cedarwood oil, Center oil, Sore No More cream, peppermint oil and grapefruit oil. My favorites are the Breathe Air, Mountain Bliss, Eucalyptus and Frankinsence oils. They are Ahhhhh-mazing......... :-D I have lung issues and the Breathe Air and Eucalptus have been extremely helpful to me. I used to buy DoTerra's Breathe oil, and have found Breathe Air to be a great alternative. I had an allergy (my body's issue, not Revive's issue) to an oil and Revive returned and refunded me without any issues. Their customer service is excellent, and I always get my orders super fast. I'm sold - Thank you, Revive!!!

    Great product, great price, great customer service 😊 I’m a new Revive customer and I couldn’t be happier with Revive Essential Oils! Their products are great quality, and their customer service is amazing. When I found out that some oils aren’t safe to use around dogs, Revive was super helpful — they sent me educational info and recommended pet-safe alternatives. It’s nice to see a company that truly cares about both their customers and their pets! They’ve gone above and beyond my expectations.

    Frankincense for a bruise I hit the back of my hand so hard on the corner of the granite countertop yesterday and was dreading the bruise that was sure to come. I’m 52 and already bruise easily, especially in that area. Right away I put ice and Frankincense on it and I never got a bruise. I can’t believe it. I know the ice helped too but there is nothing there, not even a red mark. I was sure the whole top of my hand was going to be dark purple for a week. It’s still a little sore and swollen but that’s it. I’m impressed.

    I placed my first order of 11 individual oils and cap stickers on Friday, 4/18/25, and received two free oil blends in surprise Easter eggs. Shipping was incredibly quick (I received my order the following Wednesday, 4/23/25), and I'm so impressed with the quality of the oils compared to others I have tried in the past: they work great in my diffuser with strong - but not overwhelming - scents, and I when I'm diffusing oils for energy or focus at work, I can definitely tell a difference compared to other brands. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase, and will definitely be ordering again. If I had one criticism, it would be that the Essential Oil Cap Stickers that I purchased could use a better adhesive. I have to press them back down on the lids every day because they have lifted, though this isn't a deal-breaker for me and I can always hit them with a glue stick to make them more permanent if I want. They were less than $5 so I didn't think it was worth returning them or filing a complaint, though I'm certain it would have been handled immediately and professionally if I had done so. I'm so glad that Revive was recommended in numerous articles and blog posts that I read when looking for a new EO source. Super happy customer right here!

    Love REVIVE I'm in love with this company. I wanted to start using essential oils, but Young Living was so expensive. Then I found this and tried them out. All products so far have been well worth the money, and the sales make it so cheap too! Besides, I just bought a bigger bottle of peppermint oil because I use so much of it, and it was so much cheaper because it was bigger! Also love that shipping is free to Canada too. Often only US gets free shipping and it's really annoying.
    Customer service has also been fantastic. So fast getting back to you and very friendly. I appreciate that so much.
