[Product question] A wipe to help avoid "maskne" (mask induced acne) for nurse working 12 hour shifts?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I have a pretty simple skin care routine, just a face wash and light moisturizer and haven't ever had much of a problem. I'm a nurse and work 12 hour shifts which these days means wearing at least a surgical mask and sometimes a surgical mask on top of an n95 mask for the whole 12 hours I'm at work minus when I'm eating. I also have a breastfeeding 10 month old and spend my breaks pumping while I eat, so I have basically no time to go wash my face. I've been getting some "maskne" and my face just generally feels gross under my mask, like sweaty and oily and grimy.I'm looking for any advice on face wipes. In searching the sub I see they are generally not recommended but in my case it's either a wipe or just leave all that gunk on my face and put my mask back on top of it for the rest of the day. I'd prefer wipes over a cleanser and cloths/pads as they'd be lighter to carry around. Anything others have found that works well in combatting the dreaded maskne without leaving additional residue on your face? Thanks!
