The Science

While baby wipes are designed to be gentle and hypoallergenic, they are formulated for infant skin, which is different from adult facial skin. Many baby wipes contain preservatives and additives that might cause skin irritation or allergic reactions when used on the face.

If you have sensitive skin or conditions like eczema, it's especially important to exercise caution. Always do a patch test before applying new products to your face, and consider using facial wipes specifically designed for facial use.
