Thread: Glycerin at CVS

This may have been posted before. If so, sorry for the double post.

But I was in CVS the other day and I was treated like I was insane when I asked for glycerin. Nobody seemed to know what I was talking about. So you don’t get the same run around, attached is a photo of the product. The SKU number is 483707.

What area of the store was it in?

I found it in the skincare section (acne creams, etc.)

Same here. I didn't ask, but figured if I poked around the soap/skincare section long enough I would find it. I finally did - there were only two bottles and they were on the very bottom shelf.

I got the same response, but the first time I asked was even more out of the ordinary.

The clerk brought me twice to the toothpaste aisle. She kept pointing at the mouthwash. It hit me as I was walking out of the store that she thought I was saying "listerine!"

Got a strong accent, Phil? The other place you will find glycerine laden products is in the enema/suppository aisle - glad she didn't take you there!

What do you do with it?

If you add it to your bowl while lathering with soap it not only moisturizes, it adds some glide and makes the lather thicker.

If added to the bowl with both soap AND cream, it becomes über lather.

If consumed, you will moistureize your innards and cause you to poop in a rather undignified way.

i was at the CVS by me the other night, and i couldn't find a 100% glycerine product anywhere. i ended up going to the supermarket and just got a skin care product that had glycerine. i just bought it to clean one of my brushes (cheap VDH boar brush) and it softened it up a bit. however, along with an aftershave i ordered online i ordered Amazon.com: Vegetable Glycerine 100% Pure Versatile Skin Care 16 fl.oz: Health & Personal Care , as seen in YouTube - HOW TO CLEAN & CONDITION YOUR BRUSHES for SHAVING with a Safety or Straight Razor. Badger or Boar.
