Rated 4 out of 5 by Anna5 from Strong Wipes These wipes are great especially for sensitive skin. I like how thick they are and you can get a good use out of one wipe. I do like the packaging as it has a secure closure and the wipes do not dry out.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Lorelai634 from Clean and efficient My only problem with baby wipes and wipes of any kind is their inability of being flushed. Other than that pitfall, these wipes work wonderfully. I would certainly recommend them to anyone searching for a good wipe that has an easy to open/close top, is unscented, and is super soft and non-abrasive on skin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lily7 from Absorbent, gentle, and thick! I really enjoyed using the Huggies Skin Essentials on my child's cleaning and pamper routine because of how soft and absorbent they are. A lot of wipes tend to tear in half whenever you do heavy duty wiping or they stretch out really thin. However, I did not have that problem with these wipes and the fact that they are mostly all natural makes me a happier parent. I'm happy with this product and have already purchased.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jcline6111 from Soft and safe to use on all skin I love how soft and gentle it was on my child's skin and it was gentle enough for me to use online and no harsh chemicals and no residue after anytime that I wiped with one of the wipes

Rated 5 out of 5 by FASHIONDEITY2 from Effective , gentle , and convenient! I recently tried the Huggies Skin Essentials Wipes, and I’m thoroughly impressed! These wipes are incredibly soft yet durable, making them perfect for delicate skin. I love that they are free of harsh chemicals, fragrances, and alcohol, making them safe for even the most sensitive skin types. The thick, quilted texture provides excellent coverage, so I use fewer wipes per change. They are also easy to pull out one-handed, which is a lifesaver during diaper changes. The resealable packaging keeps the wipes moist and fresh, even after multiple uses. The addition of gentle, skin-friendly ingredients like aloe and vitamin E is a fantastic touch, leaving the skin clean, soothed, and well-moisturized. I appreciate that they are hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested, giving me extra peace of mind. Overall, I highly recommend HuggiesSkin Essentials Wipes for any parent looking for effective, gentle, and convenient baby wipes.
