Would baby wipes work? I don't use wipes to remove makeup but I've heard of people using them and if they're formulated for babies they might be more gentle?

You might try The Ordinary's squalane cleanser, it's similar to oil cleansing in that you rub it on without water then rinse or wipe it off. You could bring it and some water wipes (the super gentle water only baby wipes) to wipe it off again. It removes makeup and dirt well, has few ingredients, and is good on my stupidly sensitive skin. Worth a try if your skin tolerates squalane.
If you specifically want to try a facial cleansing wipe, I have used the Simple face wipes, the ones for sensitive skin.
I like Nivea.
I usually use micellar water and cotton or reusable pads for less plastic and more uses per package.
Hey! My advice might be a bit late, but just in case it helps for next time I’d recommend using micellar water instead of facial wipes. I’ve found that wipes can be a bit too harsh, especially for my acne-prone skin. I like this micellar water. Great price and fragrance free
If you get the chance to rinse your face with water during your trip, definitely try to do it at least a couple of times throughout the week. It makes a big difference! garnier
Quick extra tip: Try sleeping with your hair covered! Our hair can carry dirt, oils, and product buildup that transfer to our face while we sleep and that can clog pores and lead to breakouts. Keeping it wrapped helps protect your skin and your hair. I use this satin bonnet
I hope this helps.
