I ordered from iHerb and it was a large quantity at an affordable price. After washing, I used it in small amounts and found that the moisturizing effect lasted longer. If used excessively, it can feel sticky, so only a very small amount needs to be used.
Cons
When I use it directly from the container, it's too heavy and hard to handle, so I have to pour some into a smaller container to use it. I end up not being able to use it all and having to throw some away. It's my fault for not knowing how to use it properly. Next time I need it, I'll just buy a small amount from the pharmacy to use.

I ordered from NowFoods even though glycerin is sold for 1,000 won at the pharmacy, as I couldn't quite trust it. I bought the 473ml size, but it's too much. I wanted to make a toner, but it seemed like a hassle, and since regular water is neutral, not slightly acidic, I decided to just buy a toner. I could have bought saline solution at the pharmacy, but the 1,000ml size they sell doesn't have any preservatives, so you have to use it up quickly once opened. I'm just applying it directly to my head. I bought it in January and used about as much as the photo by July. I didn't hold back on using it, but the product doesn't seem bad. I'm just not sure how to use the glycerin properly.
Cons
A dropper would have been better. Glycerin can make your skin feel sticky if you use too much, and it can even draw moisture out of your skin. The container dispenses a lot at once, which would be convenient when you want to use a lot.

Large-capacity glycerin. It can be subtly useful like petroleum jelly.
Cons
There's nothing particularly wrong with the ingredients, but the container is a bit inconvenient.. Especially the lid part.
Tip
If you use too much, it will become sticky and damp beyond just being moisturizing. Be careful with the amount you use.

I trust and use NowFood products. The glycerin ingredient is just one component. I also bought it at a reasonable price.
Cons
Well, there doesn't seem to be even a single shortcoming yet.
Tip
I'm using it mixed in various ways. I'm purchasing it along with jojoba oil.

It makes the skin feel moisturized and provides a strong sense of hydration. The ingredients and price are reasonable.
Cons
If used a bit too much, it can cause a burning sensation. It doesn't necessarily make the skin better, but rather gives a damp feeling, which can improve the sense of hydration. If the surrounding environment is not humid, it may be better not to use it.
Tip
Since it has a lot of purified water (moisture), the product is a bit watery and has weak hydration and lasting power. I plan to mix it with other products that have weaker moisturizing power to use it in the winter. It can be used to revive lotions that I don't normally reach for due to their weak moisturizing ability.

Those with oily, sensitive skin, I highly recommend this. When I only used the tea tree gel, my skin would get extremely dry later on, but just mixing in a single drop of this glycerin makes it completely moisturized. To be precise, my face becomes a bit sticky, but it stays moisturized until the next day, which is great.
Cons
There's really nothing lacking, but if I had to nitpick, it's that it doesn't make your skin feel fluffy and moisturized, but rather a bit sticky.
Tip
Add a drop or two to your lotion or cream, or even to your hair pack.

My skin always felt quite dry, lacking in moisture. But when I mix it with Illiyun in a 7:3 ratio and apply it, it's not itchy and feels very hydrating.
Cons
Even a small amount over the recommended usage would immediately cause stickiness or discomfort. I wish the size was just a bit smaller.
Tip
If you spritz on some mist and then dab on 3 drops of glycerin with a cotton pad, you can gently remove dead skin cells while keeping your skin nicely moisturized.

Incredible value for money!!! Glycerin!! Among the various ways I've used glycerin, the most satisfying one was when I rinsed my hair a little after shampooing, applied glycerin to the damp hair, and then rinsed it thoroughly. I felt the softness of my hair was the most satisfying part!!ㅎㅎ Hwahae categorizes glycerin under Skin/Toner, but for me, it's an indispensable hair care product♡
Cons
I tried using it on my skin as per the English instructions, but first of all, the dosage control is too difficult, and when used alone, it feels warm and unpleasantly slippery.. I also think I wasn't very skilled in using it, so when I finish this and buy a new one, I'll try adjusting and using it according to my skin.
Tip
You can use it for leg massages too! Apply glycerin and massage your calves or thighs! The unique warmth of glycerin can enhance the effects of the massage! Also, the most effective use I found was for my hair! After shampooing, apply glycerin to your damp hair right after rinsing, and then rinse it again. Compared to not doing this, you'll be able to see that your hair is much softer and easier to brush!!

I've been using it by mixing it with the recommended rose toner - it's been great! The stubborn dead skin and dryness that couldn't be resolved with other products seem to have been significantly alleviated with this.
Cons
It's not really a downside of the product itself, but if you accidentally mix the ratio incorrectly and use a bit too much glycerin, you can experience an incredibly sticky and stinging sensation.
Tip
I've been mixing it with the Now Foods rose oil/toner and using the leftover on my body as well.

It has a deep moisturizing effect, unlike just coating the skin surface with an oily moisturizing film. For sensitive skin prone to dryness and peeling, it's better to focus on moisturizing from within rather than just relying on oils to soothe it. I used to slather on oils all year round except for summer, but this past winter, mixing glycerin into my lotion really helped improve my extreme dryness a lot. Of course, it's ideal to find a well-balanced moisturizer, but our skin condition can vary day-to-day. I used it well throughout the winter, and now in the summer, I just mix it into my lotion when I feel a bit dry. Mixing in oils can leave a slight residue, but glycerin doesn't have that issue, which I like. I don't want to bother with mixing in oils, but for products where I wish the moisturizing was just a bit more, adding a little bit works perfectly. Since my skin tends to break out when I layer on too many products, being able to adjust the moisture as needed is really helpful for me.
Cons
For some reason, I seem to absorb oils well, but humectants like glycerin or high-molecular hyaluronic acid don't get absorbed as easily. So when I try to do the whole 3-7 skin routine like others, the excess humectants just lead to flushing, redness, stickiness, and clogged pores. But if I use less, the moisture doesn't last long enough. I'm not too sure about my body skin since it's so dry, but on my face, even a small mistake in application is quickly noticeable, which is frustrating.
Tip
Don't use it on its own!! If you pump out some pure glycerin and rub it on your hands, you can feel the heat building up. That's normal. Plus, it's incredibly sticky. Just imagine applying that directly - the result would be predictable. And glycerin draws in moisture, so using it on dry skin can actually cause dehydration. You have to apply it over hydrated skin. I find it's best to mix a small amount (a drop or two) into a moisturizer that you wish was just a bit more hydrating, rather than using oils which can feel burdensome.
