💧 Face wash

No. Face wash is classified as a liquid, so carry-on containers must be 100ml (3.4oz) or under. A standard 150–200ml cleanser tube will be confiscated at the security checkpoint. Screeners apply the container size on the label, not the fill level — a 150ml tube that is only a third full will still be taken. Decant into a travel bottle or buy a travel-size version before you fly.

Yes. The 100ml-per-container limit and one-litre clear resealable bag requirement applies universally across TSA (US), CAA (UK), EASA (EU), CASA (Australia), CATSA (Canada), and all other major aviation authorities. There are no regions where a larger face wash container is permitted through the security checkpoint.

Solid cleansing bars are not classified as a liquid and can be packed freely in any size in your carry-on. Micellar water pads, pre-soaked cotton rounds, and cleansing wipes are also solid items and have no liquid restrictions. If you prefer your usual liquid cleanser, a 100ml travel bottle or a travel-size tube from a pharmacy is the most practical option for short trips.

Yes. Face wash, shampoo, conditioner, moisturiser, and all other liquid toiletries share the same single quart-sized (one-litre) clear resealable bag. There is only one bag allowed per passenger, so you need to fit all your liquid toiletries together within it. If your liquids bag is already full, switching some products to solid alternatives is the most effective way to free up space.
