## Description

Our bodies should never limit our potential, so Smith+Nephew creates products like SKINPREP Wipes to help take the limits off living. These wipes are intended for use as a film-forming product that, upon application to intact skin, forms a long-lasting barrier that acts as a protective interface between the skin and bodily wastes, fluids, and adhesive dressings. It creates an effective topical barrier between tape and skin and helps reduce the risk of tape stripping. It may also help reduce friction irritation or incontinence-related dermatitis. When following your healthcare professionals’ instructions or all product directions listed, these wipes can become a convenient tool for your wound care routine. Directions: Apply SKIN-PREP wipe and allow to dry thoroughly. Film coating forms and bonds to the skin. Film coating does not have to be removed from skin when changing bandages or appliances. For external use only. Precautions: SKINPREP Wipes are flammable; use in a well-ventilated area. Stinging occurs if the wipe contacts a cut or open wound. Refer to the product packaging for a complete list of application instructions and product precautions. Smith+Nephew has pioneered health solutions since 1856 with one mission: to use technology to take the limits off living. Care, collaborative efforts, and courage are what we use to help people live their best and strongest lives. A simple, two-word promise inspires all that we do: Life Unlimited.

Review: Very good for helping adhesion of tape, films, etc. to skin. - I use these with the Dexcom G7 sensor, and have never had a problem with detatched sensor with water from showers, swimming, or heavy sweating in Texas summers. Also useful before applying butterflies or steri-strips for wound closure. Best practice is to wash with soap and water, use the wipe and allow brief drying time, then apply adhesive covering. Do be aware that if (like me) you have hairy arms or other body parts, you will pull most of those hairs when removing the covering. Shaving area covered with electric razor before sarting will assist greatly in avoiding 'depilatory pain'. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Review: Great product - I had a reaction to the adhesive of the wound pads I was using and had to switch to paper tape. My wound specialist suggested using this product before putting the tape on and even on the surrounding skin of my wound to protect it. This product works outstanding, I no longer pull off any skin when removing the tape to redo the dressing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I need fragrance free, does this have a smell?**
A: Yes and no.  Ingredients listed are: Isopropyl Alcohol, Butyl Ester of PVM/MA Copolymer, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate.  It does have an initial strong Isopropyl Alcohol smell, then a nail polish like smell.  After applied to the skin and dried, there is a very faint chemical smell. I do not see that a fragrance is specifically added to the product. Hope this helps.

**Q: Can I rub it on the skin before a needle penetrates the skin? (In  the application of using a Libre diabetic sensor.)**
A: That's what you are supposed to do.  Leave an area around the size of a pencil eraser clear (NO Skin-Prep) where the needle will penetrate the skin. Only apply the Skin-Prep where the adhesive is going to stick.

**Q: Can these be used with a CGM device?**
A: YES !!!  I use these for mine & have not had any "fall off" since I started using them.
I also use them for my Insulin Pump

**Q: Used patch over freestyle libre sensor, patch super adhesive painful to remove. Do I use this before applying patch & much less pain removing patch?**
A: You use this product before applying freestyle libre as you would to clean the area.  We found another product that helps the sensor to stick and stay in place.  It is called Skin Tac Wipe and adhesive barrier wipe.
Your wipe the area where you are placing the new sensor.  Wait for it to dry then apply the sensor.  It will stay on for the entire 14 days.  It is hard to remove.  When I remove it I need to tug it gently to remove.   Sometimes a thin layer from the sensor remains on the arm.  I hope this answer is helpful. You can use to Skin prep wipes to help in this effort.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by S***W on September 25, 2025*

I had a reaction to the adhesive of the wound pads I was using and had to switch to paper tape. My wound specialist suggested using this product before putting the tape on and even on the surrounding skin of my wound to protect it. This product works outstanding, I no longer pull off any skin when removing the tape to redo the dressing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No more wasted patches
*by L***E on July 6, 2024*

EDIT: I tried putting this under my patch to prevent the nasty rash I get from the adhesive. I can’t recommend it. I change my patches every three days and on that third day I really start having a lot of pain because the medication is wearing off. Usually, it’s only an hour or so after I place a new patch before my pain is gone. When I changed my patch this time I had a rash under it again. I usually place my patch, then apply this skin protectant around the patch. This time I applied it to the entire area and then placed the patch. I was in horrible pain that evening and I’m sure it’s because the solution prevented the medication from absorbing into my skin. I still swear by this product to keep the clear bandage in place for days. It works better than anything I’ve ever found. I ordered this product because I was tired of using sticky, messy benzoine swabs to keep my medication patches from falling off before their time and being wasted. I have tried every combination of everything to try to keep them on including duct tape (really!) I didn’t know if these would work as they are described as skin protector, but I thought why not. They are SO good. They hold my transparent bandage on over my patch so well that I have to pick at a corner to peel it off. It lasts the full three days, even through showers. Non-staining and clear, it goes on easily and there’s plenty on each swab. I use these clear bandages to go with them and they work really well to keep the patch secure and avoid waste: 150 Pieces Stretch Adhesive Bandages Transparent Film Dressing Bandages Waterproof Adhesive Bandages (3.1 x 3.1 Inch) I wish I knew whether I can use this skin prep under my patch to avoid the nasty rash I get from the adhesive without affecting the medication absorption.
