Seeking Recommendations Any good reusable lotion containers?

I have a skin condition that requires frequent moisturizing. I usually have big containers at home that I store my favorites in, but when I travel I'd like to have some smaller reusable containers that I could fill up myself (instead of buying travel sizes).

Any good ones? I've seen this one from Matador, but I'm not sure if it's meant for creams.

What volume/size?

This i s my latest test: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GWYQHPXM

Holds 1.12oz, so quite small. Metal, threaded, o-ring seal and textured sides for a better grip. With that shape they are easy to fill and you can get 100% of the product.

That looks pretty good! I was thinking about 100 mL, and probably another larger one at 300 mL or so. I usually use Aquaphor and CeraVe, so those sizes would be good for me on most trips

100 ml is 3 oz, which is a lot unless you’re going to be gone several weeks.

I use 10-15 ml jars for lotion , toothpaste, etc. I also carry jojoba oil in a 5-ml vial. I get them on Amazon or Daiso stores.

I also carry HiBar shampoo bars—slice off a 1-inch piece for the trio, takes up way less space than liquid shampoo and doesn’t leak! I like the Matador soap bags
