I used to get Adapt and they changed the size they were 4 1/2 x 2 3/4. Perfect size for my stoma. Thanks** A: These are small wipes about the size of and similar to an alcohol wipe. They are meant to help prepare the skin for better bandage adhesion. They are not a dressing in itself. Had to do many bandage changes on my husband before he passed and I loved these wipes. They really help a bandage or protective bandages such as Tegaderm adhere to the skin. I always have them on hand. Helps with bandaid adhesion too. Hope this helps. **Q: product ingredients** A: According to the package, the ingredients are: Isopropyl Alcohol, Butyl Ester of PVM/MA Copolymer, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate **Q: I am wanting to order the larger qty (1000) but we are worried if these will dry out too fast overtime before all being used. This is for a PT office.** A: I order 2-4 boxes at a time with no problem. I use 2 every 2-4 days. Occasionally I have to use them more frequently. This brand I find to be better than any other I have used. **Q: Will this help stop itching and redness from my medical tape on dressings?** A: I don’t know about the itching but it should keep your skin from getting irritated by the dressing, I use it even when I use pain patches, helps keep them on even though they need a little tape around the edges. and maybe look into a different kind of dressing, that could be your main cause of irritation. Hope this helps ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Securing Glucose Sensor *by on Reviewed in the United States February 20, 2026* These barrier wipes are perfect. They ensure that my sensors stay on for the full two-week period. When I don’t use them, the sensors always come undone (which means I either have to go sans sensor, or come out of pocket for a replacement). I have repurchased these Skin Prep wipes multiple times pm and foresee myself continuing to do so. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best barrier wipe around *by on Reviewed in the United States July 23, 2025* As a type 2 diabetic, I find this barrier film wipe to be effective and easy to use. I protects my skin when I apply my CGM (Dexcom G7) and the over-patch. I do not use a barrier film, I get something that looks like a chemical burn/blister wherever the attaching adhesives touch my unprotected skin. The Dexcom CGMs are supposed to run for 10 days. It only takes a few hours for my unprotected skin to skin to react to the adhesives. This product has helped me immensely. I don’t have to worry about the intense itching and burning I have endured without it, previously. It is also a relief to not have open sores due to the blistering that can occur when I don’t apply a barrier film. I’m sure others have encountered this issue. I have also found this same barrier film as a spray. It helps tremendously. I just spray it liberally on the area to which I want to apply my CGM and over-patches, let it dry, then apply my device and over-patches, rub my finger over the device and patches to be sure the adhesion is strong, then go about my business. Lasts the whole 10 days without fear of irritation, itching, burning, or residual blisters/sores. I am much happier using this product. It is far better than any other product I’ve tried. I hope this has been helpful.- M. Murphy ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this brand *by on Reviewed in the United States May 18, 2026* Have used these in my line of work for ostomies. They work great to help the appliance stick well. I purchased these for personal use. Needed to get something to assist in keeping my husbands Dexcom on. This as well as the overlay stickers work perfect. He is in the pool EVERY day and it does not loosen. ## Frequently Bought Together - Smith & Nephew Skin-Prep® Protective Barrier Wipes - Uni Solve 402300 Adhesive Remover Wipe, Pack of 50 - Smith and Nephew Remove Adhesive Remover Wipes 403100, 50-count --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/7184858-skin-prep-protective-barrier-wipes](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/7184858-skin-prep-protective-barrier-wipes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
