Rated 4 out of 5 by Sami5 from Soft and fresh It is soft and doesn’t create any itch after use. I just wish it was flushable so it would be really easy but overall it’s nice. If you want to tear in half and use it it’s easy too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AudreyMarie9 from Feels great on your skin Huggies Skin Essentials wipes are absolutely perfect. I was very impressed with these wipes. They are incredibly soft and gentle on my baby's skin. Perfect for sensitive areas they are not too wet. The wipes themselves are thick and hold up very well. They fit in my travel case as well as the home storage container. Love how gentle they are and work perfect for sensitive skin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SamS2 from Soft, clean, and effective I loved Huggies' Skin Essentials wipes. I find a lot of comfort knowing that these wipes are primarily water and don't have any harsh chemicals in them. They're really effective and have a good sealant ensuring the top doesn't pop open and dry out. I can't wait to get more of these wipes!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shelly5 from Love these wipes! These wipes make doing diaper changes so easy! They are super absorbent and I love how easy the ridges make it to wipe messes. I appreciate the clean ingredients as my son has sensitive skin and these don't irritate his skin since there are no harsh chemicals.

Rated 3 out of 5 by BeeCee51 from Product Great, Just not super moist The wipes are thick, and work well but they still don’t feel very moist. Like when I wipe my baby’s bottom the wipes kind of leave residue on my baby’s bottom like as if it’s dry to a certain extent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Demi3 from Low irritant For my very sensitive skin id say it's a 9/10 it's soft durable has a cloth like texture, no scent. It cleans well without harsh odors or skin irritants. The strength and durability of this wipe is pretty good I gave it the pull test and found no plastic like material it's closer to cloth than most other wipes. I used it on my hand then my face it did remove some residual makeup so I found that impressive. Overall I'd say this is a good and multi use type of product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Harmi2710 from Love them I love the Huggies skin essentials line! I started off with using the diapers. Now I can say I love the wipes as well. They don’t cause any skin irritation to baby or toddler. I have also used them to wipe down my pup and still no skin irritation. I highly recommend! Definitely worth a try if your baby is easily irritated by other products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by nikran1 from Love these! I am a huge fan of baby wipes and use it around the house for everything. Cleaning up the kids, wiping my own hands, cleaning up a table mess! my skin has been super dry with this weather (and I know this isn't the use!!) but with having these Huggies wipes around, I see myself reaching for these because they don't dry out my hands so much. And truly that means that this won't wipe out my kids bums!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by teejay4 from worth the purchase I am an avid consumer of the Huggies brand and these are by far some of my favorite wipes by the brand. These wipes are soft, thick, and moist. They are gentle on the skin and fragrance free - which is a plus for those with sensitive skin. Would definitely recommend these to anyone look for a new brand of wipes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from No Rashes! Huggies is my go-to brand for diapers and wipes. I trust that they won't give my daughter a rash or cause any other skin irritation. The sample bag was pretty small, so we went through it pretty quick, but that's par for the course. Overall, these work great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kayh4 from Perfect For Sensitive Baby I was skeptical these would work for my super sensitive baby. We’ve tried MANY brands and even other Huggies lines and they’ve all caused a rash. Thankfully however these did not, I’m so glad I finally have an option I can easily grab at the store!! I would definitely recommend to a mom trying to find something to work with their sensitive baby.
