Rated 4 out of 5 by Meghan7 from Water based I received these wipes for free in exchange for my honest review. I like that these wipes are water based, much important for those with sensitive skin such as babies. The wipes are thick which is essential for parents changing little ones! I would reccommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Justine8 from High Quality Wipes I've been using these Huggies Skin Essentials Wipes on my newborn and I absolutely love them. They are quite thicker than other wipes, which is so great for doing a thorough job completely cleaning her up. The fact that they are dermatologist tested assures me that these wipes are not going to harm her in any way or leave her red and sore. These are truly wonderful wipes and I will continue to buy them after using up this pack.

Rated 4 out of 5 by TheDoctorFriend3 from I found these good I tried the Huggies wipes out, and they were alright. I am not sure if it was the packet i received, or the product is generally like this, but i found the wipes a little dry, and not too saturated with the solution. They also don’t have any fragrance at all, so in that sense they are true to their claim. They are pretty gentle on the skin, and are decently thick to not rip/leave fabric streaks on wiping. It would be very good for sensitive skin due to the lack of fragrance. It has a nice plastic closing flap on the packet, which I prefer any day to the normal stick on closing, which eventually stop sticking lol. This would be good for preventing the wipes from drying out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Star8 from These are great! This is my first time trying out these wipes and I am impressed. First of all, I love that they are free of fragrance (unscented) as this is actually much healthier, also, they are hypoallergenic and good for extra sensitive skin. They feel substantial, good in size and strong so no worry about tears. Recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by linarose9257 from Best wipes! I absolutely love these wipes by Huggies! They are thick and strong and make any cleanup a breeze. One wipe can pick up so much making them last longer than other products out there. They're also so gentle on baby's delicate skin. There's so much to love about these wipes and I will continue purchasing them time and time again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rachel178 from So Smooth and Gentle These wipes are scent free and so gentle on my kiddo. They didn't irritate her skin and even I used it on my face first and I have eczema and it did not irritate my skin or cause a flare up. These wipes are so Smooth and didn't have any rough areas like some wipes. They weren't too "soapy" and cleaned very very well!! I am very pleased and found my new go to wipes!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Darby9 from Perfect fit! We have been trying many different brand of wipes to find one gentle enough for our newborns sensitive skin & we have found what we were looking for with these wipes! I would recommend trying these wipes if you’ve previously been attempting to use other wipes that just are not right for your baby’s skin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chas2 from Huggies This was a great product for my kids! It was very easy and simple to use and my children didnt not break out in a rash using these. I would definitely recommend this product to my friends and family.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Rosa4 from Simple Wipes I was excited to try these wipes versus the others I usually buy because it was more beneficial to use on my babies skin. I was also excited about the wipe being 99% water which meant more moisture. Unfortunately, I wasn't pleased to notice they in fact weren't as moist. I will say I can sacrifice the extra wetness if it means my babies will have safer materials on their skin.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Danielle04163 from Decent These wipes were alright. I honestly thought they would be stronger. They tare when trying to remove them from the packaging. The wipe itself is soft and works well but they just are not that strong.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Whit03276 from Didn’t “Wow” Me. I was not very satisfied or impressed with this item. I liked that the fact that they were Huggies because they are well-known product, but I feel like these companies are doing way too much these days instead of sticking to the basics. I did like how they didn’t rip or tear and I could get use out of 1-2 wipes, but I didn’t like they were fragrance free. I wished they could’ve had least had a baby powder scent. I probably won’t buy these anymore in the near future.
