I am a fan of the regimen, and have been using it for around 8 years now. But there is a problem: I go camping a lot, nearly every weekend (I am a rock climber). But when you are living in a tent and there is no clean running water, doing the whole regimen is nigh on impossible (even cleaning your hands afterwards is cumbersome - often when camping we only use hand sanitizer).

Usually it's okay if I do the regimen on Friday before leaving and again on Sunday night when I return, but leaving it much more than this often causes a breakout.

I would like to get opinions on difference face-wipes. I have been using Elmo baby wipes and although they're super cute, they apparently have aloe in them and I'm not sure if that's good or bad - regardless it's not in my usual regimen and if I only use Elmo wipes for 3-4 days I get breakouts, so it's probably bad. I've also tried the Neutrogena medicated face wipes with Salicylic Acid, also not as effective as I'd hoped (and leave my skin feeling soapy rather than clean).

Do any of you have any suggestions on face-wipes I could use? Which ones are better than others? Another thing I'd like to see is that this that Dan's site offer some sort of face wipes, maybe with BP in them. I'd definitely buy that.

I use Burts Bees facial cleansing wipes for days when I'm too lazy to do much else and they've never broken me out.

Hi, I know it's been awhile since you posted this, but I just wanted to say that I haven't had much luck with face wipes in general, but the ones that seem least harmful to my skin are Josie Maran's Bare Naked Wipes. I don't love them, and I have to use two if I'm wearing makeup, but they seem to make me break out less than other brands (Korres, Ole Henriksen, and several drugstore brands are what I've tried). I'm kind of interested in trying Skyn Iceland's Glacial Wipes, and I just got a sample pack of Ko Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water Cloths that I haven't tried yet.

EDIT TO ADD: Of the drugstore brands the Garnier wipes in the lime greenish package seem to have less terrible crap in them than the other brands, but they still caused me breakouts. (I won't put anything from the drugstore near my face anymore, except Olay moisturizer sometimes in the summer.)
