i'm looking for bug spray or lotion ideally with Icaridin >20% but will buy DEET if that's the only option

already tried multiple drug stores in downtown Kuala Lumpur but they only have herbal stuff.

any suggestions of brands or stores?

thanks much

Creams are available in pretty much every corner shop. Seven Eleven and every other chain has Softell, Autan and a bunch of other effective brands that will stop mosquitoes biting you.
They're available as sprays in little pump bottles or creams in small bottles or handy sachets.
