by Samantha1 from Best baby wipes! These wipes are THICK and also moisturizing. I used only two to clean up my little one and I also used it to remove some make up. We have sensitive skin and it was not hash at all.

by Kass3 from Amazing wipes I'm used to buying very thin wipes but these Huggies wipes are extraordinary. They are absolutely thick and pick up so much, much more than the thin wipes. They do a great job at cleaning up messes that are left behind and I didn't have any worry about them leaving any stains or marks.

by Victoria6 from Huggies skin essentials
These wipes were nice! Not too wet or dry, one wipe dispensed at a time which is always a plus. They do tear if you're not careful though, which can be both a good and a bad thing. I don't always want a whole wipe for everything, but the majority of the time I do, so I prefer them to be just a wee bit stronger!

by Moon2221 from Soft and great for sensitive skin
I love the Huggies skin essentials wipes, not only are they great for babies but also for the adults to. They clean effectively without leaving residue and are moisturizing thanks to skin-friendly ingredients. The packaging is convenient for easy use. Here’s why they’re a good choice: •Hypoallergenic: They are designed to minimize the risk of allergic reactions, making them safe for sensitive skin. •Free from Harsh Chemicals: These wipes typically avoid ingredients like alcohol, parabens, and fragrances that can irritate the skin. •Moisturizing Ingredients: Infused with soothing elements like aloe vera and vitamin E, they help keep the skin hydrated and calm. •Soft and Thick Texture: The wipes are both soft and thick, providing gentle yet effective cleaning without causing irritation. Overall, they’re a reliable option for anyone with sensitive skin!

I love that there's no harsh ingredients! Huggies is a well known brand that I used for both of my kids because they just make products that as a parents make you feel like they take the time to ensure your baby had the best quality products.

by Nia335 from Lovely however… Pros: Thick durable wipes Luxurious feel Easy to remove from packaging (doesn’t clump together like water wipes and the seal is effective) Mainly comprised of water Has some relatively safe and beneficial ingredients Cons: I prefer products that have less ingredients- less is more. The more ingredients in the product, the more the concern for allergic reactions/developments/sensitivities. For eg Sodium Benzoate is a known dermatological allergen. Butoxy PEG-4 PG-Amodimethicone and Polysorbate 20 are carcinogenic with the ethylene oxide. The best thing to do is make your own cloth wipes. But these Huggies wipes are fine for times when you can’t/don’t wanna use cloth wipes as you won’t be exposing your kids to it everyday, and they’re more affordable than the safer wipes (budget friendly)

by Phillipa9 from baby and I both love it
I recently tried Huggies Skin Essentials Wipes, and I am absolutely impressed! The first thing I noticed is how soft and gentle they are. I like that they're fragrance-free and pH balanced, they provide a soothing touch that keeps my baby comfortable and irritation-free. The wipes are very durable and moist, making clean-up quick and easy, whether it’s diaper changes or mealtime messes. They're easy to use - I had no problems getting them out of the package. The plastic closure was convenient and kept the wipes moist. The size is perfect too—large enough to tackle any mess but still easy to handle.

by KayAbb4 from Perfect blend of gentle and effective!
As a parent, finding the right products for my little one’s delicate skin is always a top priority. Huggies Skin Essential Baby Wipes have been an absolute game-changer for our family. These wipes are incredibly soft, and I can use them knowing that they are designed with my baby's sensitive skin in mind. Firstly, the effectiveness of these wipes is impressive. They handle the messiest of situations with ease, meaning I use fewer wipes per change compared to other brands. This not only saves time but also makes each pack last longer. The texture of the wipes is just right – not too rough, not too soggy, ensuring a gentle yet thorough clean every time. What sets these wipes apart is their formulation. They are hypoallergic, free from alcohol, parabens, and any harsh chemicals, which gives me peace of mind knowing I’m not exposing my baby’s skin to irritants. Plus, they are infused with skin-essential ingredients that help to maintain natural skin health. After use, my baby’s ski

by NBS21304 from So soft to use I usually use the Huggies sensitive wipes but was pleasantly surprised when I tried the Skin Essentials. The wipes are softer and more moist and do not leave any residue on my baby. The scent is a clean scent which is calming and nice. I love the fact that my baby did not get a rash and instead smiled when I used the wipes to clean his infamous blowout. The other fact about Huggies wipes is the lid - one can remove the wipes with a single hand while holding baby with the other. It is very convenient and easy. I will be reordering the Skin Essentials wipes again for sure. The wipes do not dry out even when I forgot to close the lid and the wipes themselves are lightweight and so clean and fresh.
