Skin-Prep Protective Wipes forms a barrier between the patient's skin and adhesives to help preserve skin integrity and prevent insult or injury during removal of tapes and films.Proven EffectivenessA series of tests under a scanning electron microscope suggest that Skin-Prep provides effective protection against adhesive trauma.Improves AdhesionSkin-Prep allows skin to "breathe" so tapes and films adhere better and longerEnhanced adhesion increases the interval between dressing changes to save nursing timeLess frequent application and removal of adhesive dressings reduces the risk of damage to delicate skinNon-Sensitizing FormulaSkin-Prep contains Citroflex for added safety and reliable protection with virtually no irritation or allergic reactions.

It is also available in an easy to use spray can.Easily RemovedSkin-Prep can be removed with a skin cleanser and water, so there is no need to scrub the skin or expose it to harsh chemical cleansers or solvents that can cause irritation.

Review: Works great - I have an insulin pump and my endocrinologist recommended these for putting in my infusion sets and Dexcom sensors. My insurance used to cover them but stopped and its too expensive to buy them through the pharmacy. I've been getting them on desertcart on a regular basis this is a great product. It cleans my skin really well but once it dries it leaves a little bit of a stickiness, which is perfect if you are having to adhere something to your skin.
Review: Perfect for Securing Glucose Sensor - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what size is the wipe itself. 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Skin Prep Protective Barrier Wipes
*by D***S on February 25, 2026*

This product works extremely well. I use it to help my Freestyle Libre 3 sensor stay stuck on my arm. I wipe area with an alcohol pad and let that dry, then wipe same area with the skin prep, let that area dry again then apply the sensor. No more issues of having the sensor fall off.
