Skincare - super concentrated cleanser

I'm a Paula's Choice fan and a lot of stuff is available in travel size, or I just decant into travel bottles. I particularly like the Skin Restoring Moisturizer SPF50 and Softening Cream Cleanser.

I also used to take a travel size Aquaphor but I'm now into Weleda Skin Food, which comes in a 2.5oz.

I saw what you did there...🤣

With mostly a mix of Khiels and Cerave products, I end up decanting a lot of my stuff into travel-sized tubes—the ones from Muji are my favorites.

When I get home I put those containers in the shower and/or medicine cabinet to get through the product before it goes stale in my toiletry kit.

I use Avène products almost exclusively. They make a cleansing lotion that is very concentrated and makes my 70 year ood skin look wonderful. And I'm a fan of their very pure skin care products in general. And since they are a French company, they are available all over Europe.

Kiehl's for all us mens.

Even the travel size of my favorite cleanser by Clinique is too big for me. So, I’ll be placing some in a contact lens case.

I need to try the idea for the contact lens case.

I use the makeup eraser cloths. They really work great for removing mascara and foundation. I have sensitive skin, and I have not had any problems with them. One less liquid to pack!

Roubrat: I have heard such amazing things about Paula's Choice! Next time I'm in the USA I plan on trying their SPF and more.
Scudder: Good suggestion to use Muji tubes. Decanting is a necessary evil - and definitely necessary with the giant Cerave bottles!
Cafetista: The Avène Tolérance cleansing lotion is so lovely - especially when my skin is acting sensitive. I agree that their products tend to be very pure and reliable. I also like certain La Roche Posay lines for that reason - and so much cheaper in France!!
Carrie: The contact lens case is actually a great idea because they are leak-proof!
Diane: My sister-in-law also swears by makeup eraser cloths. It seems like dark sorcery to me!

Which brand do you use? These have always dried me out and I have sensitive skin too.

Roubrat. I use the original "makeup eraser" brand. I purchased them at Ulta when they had a sale. The small travel ones were available in a 7 pack. They had the bigger original size, but it's more convenient for me to just take however many I need.

Thanks, Diane. I'll look into it. I currently use Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm which I put put into a little travel size jar, but it'd be nice to have one less product in the 311 bag.

Roubrat, does that Clinique balm remove waterproof mascara?

edgefield, I don't use waterproof mascara so I'm not sure. I stopped using waterproof because I got tired of all the rubbing to remove it, and liquid removers burned my eyes.

I use Oil of Olay Facial Cleansing Towelettes. Love them. No need for containers or decanting. Use them on the plane and trains, so easy and refreshing, as well as am/pm routine.

I second the idea of using Muji containers. They are small and well made!
