Anyone know where or if this is available over here? I've not seen it so far in my local GS and E-Mart

Best place: Watsons. 2,000 won for 100 ml or so of "Magic Clear."
I bet Olive Young has it, too, but idk.

Many pharmacies have it, but in smaller bottles for the same price.

Don't mean to hijack this thread.. but is hand sanitiser all that it promises to be?

I *think* I read somewhere that your hands end up dirtier using it than not?

^ i think it works quite well. a few people here are against it, but i've found that i get sick a lot less while using it. don't over do it, but using it after a nasty subway bathroom is a lot better than hoping there's decent soap or using none at all, IMO

I don't use it often, but keep a small bottle in my bag in case the restroom wherever I am is not that clean. Some don't even have soap, or they just have soap on a stick, which disgusts me.

Hand sanitizer is to kill bacteria, not make your hands cleaner.

I carry soap leaves in my bag for public restrooms. For the ladies, Crabtree and Evelyn sells some for $4 for a pack of 20:

I always have Purell with me, what with being in Korea and all.


As far as the soap on a stick, yes, but it makes the barber shop girls feel welcomed, so it's all good.

I would love that when dealing with pink eye students' papers or when going using bar restrooms in Korea. It would also make people more secure when I asked to frisk them.
