Rated 5 out of 5 by kerinoftall2 from Huggies fans! We already love Huggies wipes in this house and the skin essentials wipes are no different! We love that it’s 99% water with zero harsh ingredients. We trust that it’s safe for our baby. My only gripe is that the quantity was quite small at only 24 wipes but overall, momma approved.

Rated 5 out of 5 by StephanieD3 from soooo soft! I love the fact that there are no harsh ingredients in this, makes me feel better about what is going on the skin. I wish these were offered as a refill for a container though. I highly recommend these baby wipes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MetalheadMommy7 from Thick and durable. The package: The plastic is durable to be able to withstand going in and getting pulled out of diaper bags and purses. The print is nice and big so you can see everything these wipes have to offer. Where you open the lid, in my opinion is not a great place. It was hard for me to open when my hands where full of waste. The wipes: Soft. Durable. Thick. It's perfect for cleaning up and wiping. Your fingers will not go through like other wipes. They pop up easy and don't get bundled up with the other wipes while trying to pull out just one. The groove on the wipes help wipe up even more mess.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lisa9iner7 from Gentle These baby wipes from Huggies are really gentle on my babies sensitive skin. They are made with good quality ingredients. They don’t tear easily but are so soft. They don’t have a perfume scent either making them more natural bi would recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AmberT1 from Perfect for sensitive skin I've been really impressed with Huggies Skin Essential Wipes. They’re soft on the skin and didn't cause any irritation or rash, which is a huge plus. They clean effectively and hold up well without falling apart during use. These wipes are perfect for quick clean-ups, but just a heads-up — definitely don't flush them. Overall, a great choice for sensitive skin!

Rated 5 out of 5 by DocBee2 from Huggies Skin Essentials Wipes The Huggies Skin Essentials wipes are a great every day wipe. My baby didn’t experience any rashes while trialing this product. I also used the wipe for wiping off a messy face and wiping a running nose. The wipe is thick enough to handle most “messy baby tasks” using only 1-2 wipes. The wipes are fragrance free which gives them an unpleasant odor that doesn’t transfer over to baby’s skin. I would recommend this wipe for baby’s with sensitive skin. However, I would not recommend this product for families who use wipes for more than just cleaning up baby’s skin. For example, this wipe didn’t do as well with make up removal or wiping down a sticky high chair. Therefore, if you only use wipes for their marketed purpose then it’s a great wipe to purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hin5on155 from Best Huggies Product Ever I am very picky about the products I use on my children. Fragrance free, softness, and sensitive skin are must haves due to skin issues. These wipes are by far the best wipes I have ever used! Trust me when I say I have tried just about all of them! They are super soft, durable, and they never caused any redness. These wipes will be the only ones used in my household from now on!

The package, the snap closure, the strong texture of the wipes, I really like these wipes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kareezz5 from Fantastic Wipes I love these wipes. They smells so nice and are very refreshing. It makes the skin feel so smooth and soft without drying it out. The wipes feel so lightweight and hydrates the skin so well. The wipes are packaged so well that it makes it easier and more convenient to take on the go. I highly recommend this product. It is very good quality and so easy to use!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Melanie10 from Thick and gentle wipes Luxurious wipes! So very soft and gentle, these give me peace of mind when wiping my baby’s bottom. I even use these on his face on the go because they are so simple and pure. The thickness provides great cushion and there is a slight quilted quality that helps to clean well. I tore one in half and you can see how many layers of softness there is.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jess05066 from Wonderful Wipes I recently tried Huggies Skin Essentials Wipes, and I’m really impressed. As a parent, I’ve tried a lot of different baby wipes over the years, but these are definitely a standout. The texture is soft yet sturdy, making them great for wiping up messes without feeling flimsy. They’re also gentle on my baby’s skin—no irritation or redness, which I’ve seen with some other brands. I love that these wipes are hypoallergenic and free from harsh chemicals, which gives me peace of mind. The scent is very mild, just fresh and clean, without being overpowering. The packaging is convenient, with a pop-up lid that helps keep the wipes moist and easy to grab one at a time. Overall, I feel like these wipes check all the boxes: they’re effective, gentle, and affordable. Definitely a keeper in our diaper bag.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Leahdk47 from Trustworthy brand Huggies is a trustworthy brand, and widely used for babies everywhere. I tried these wipes and found them to be gentle on the skin, while also thoroughly cleaning,using less wipes than I normally would. No scent that I noticed, they weren't dry or overly wet. When you need to use a wipe for any reason, you want it to be reliable. Huggies is reliable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Maduni1 from A++ for Sensitive Skin My baby has has extremely sensitive skin and most wipes tend to cause rashes but Huggies skin essential wipes are scent free so it's extremely great for sensitive skin and doesn't cost any irritation. It's also much thicker than most baby wipes I've used so these won't tear easily. Been using these for the past week and the only downside is that there is only 24 in a pack so they go quickly. But this is by far the best wipes for sensitive skin A++

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ltes3 from Absorbent, thick and soft These wipes are super soft, absorbent, and thick. They helped me during diaper changes because I only needed a few of them to clean up my baby’s messes. I really liked how easy they were to dispense with one hand. My baby is in the phase where he rolls over during every diaper change, so having wipes that dispense easily is important. It is also important that the wipes do not cause hand reaction on my baby’s sensitive bottom. He often gets diaper rashes from other wipes but these were wonderful at preventing any irritation. I also liked their thickness which kept my hands clean when cleaning him.
