Rated 5 out of 5 by Meg46 from Baby wipes This product did it's job. It cleaned baby up, felt soft, and no word smell. I thought they came out of the package fairly easy and made diaper change quick and easy. I would recommend to families with babies and kids.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gmurphy014 from So soft! I really enjoyed these wipes for my baby's skin. The usual Huggies wipes we use almost feel too dry and rough for my liking but these wipes where SO soft and in my opinion had the right amount of wetness. Look these wipes for my baby! Recommend!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kate6 from Thick and gentle I have always been a big fan of Huggies products, and these are no different! These wipes are thick, but gentle on my babies sensitive skin. One wipe gets the job done and doesn’t tear.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LaDonna6 from Perfect Softness and Durability I really loved this product. It has the perfect softness to be gentle on delicate skin yet durable enough to get the job done efficiently. It has the right amount of moisture and I like that the next one pops up and it’s easier to separate from the next wipe because it’s only attached to the next wipe by a small section of a pererated seam.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AlyssaB978 from Gentle yet effective! Huggies Skin Essentials Wipes offer a gentle and effective cleaning solution, especially suitable for sensitive skin. Known for their hypoallergenic formula, these wipes are free of parabens, alcohol, and fragrances, which helps reduce the risk of irritation. They’re enriched with aloe and vitamin E, adding an extra layer of soothing care for delicate skin, making them great for newborns or anyone with skin sensitivities. The packaging design also deserves praise. The wipes are easy to pull out individually, which helps when you’re in the middle of a change and only have one hand free. The packages are often compact and come with a resealable lid that keeps the wipes fresh and moist for longer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kchristian8114 from Excellent & Effective Wipes We've long been Huggies fans so we were super excited to get to try these new wipes! Not only were they strong and tear-resistant but they proved to be even more effective than the regular Huggies wipes we typically use. Also they were really soft on our daughter's skin which is a huge bonus. Give them a try you won't regret it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ebz52 from Huggies Essentials I received these wipes as part of a promotion in exchange for my honest opinion. Let me start by saying these wipes are everything I imagined they would be especially after trying the diapers. They are thick and glide across the skin so smoothly. They say that they are fragrance free but they seemed to have a hint of something such as shea butter or coconut. They are really thick and clean up messed effortlessly. I would purchase these again and recommend them to others.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Purpulizard4 from Effective but tiny pack I like that these are 99% water and thicker than standard wipes. I was confused by the size of the pack - if this is the standard size so would not buy it. Any parent knows that 20 wipes won’t even last a week!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lala8110 from I liked it! HUGGIS SKIN ESSENTIALS. Perfect for babies from birth. When testing the product, there was no irritation. Does not have perfume. No smell. Does not sting the baby's skin, as it does not contain alcohol.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Momofthreeinky10 from Softer and Thicker Wipes I am a repeat Huggies natural care wipes purchaser but after trying this new type of their wipes, this is what I’ll be buying in the future! The skin essentials wipes are much thicker, more absorbent and are not irritating to delicate skin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lindseyp4 from Soft and gentle These wipes are so soft and gentle. I did not really notice much of a scent. They came out very easy and I did not need to reach in the package every single time. I will definitely get these again.
