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. |

^ 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. |

Guess what cleanliness freak...You're still gonna die, eventually. Why don't you wear plastic "doctor" gloves all day? |

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. |
