Minty fresh!
We use this daily in my household. It gives me reassurance that my 10 year old gas that added protection on his teeth. Sometimes young kids dont do the best job brushing but with flossing and mouthwash i feel like he ends up with a clean mouth.

Minty Fresh
This mouthwash will have your breath smelling fresh for hours. And it helps reduce the risk of getting gingivitis. If your teeth or gums are sensitive, this brand may not be for you.

Cool Fresh Breath
This is great because it kills odor causing bacteria in the mouth and on the gums. The cool mint has a nice fresh taste and it leaves my breath minty.

Does the job but burns my mouth cause its so minty
Love it and I find it does well in doing its job as a mouthwash and I have noticed my teeth feel and looking better. Only issue is (and not just with this specific one but with most of the listerine mouthwashes) I find it so hard to whish within my mouth for longer than 30 seconds. Reason being it is so minty, in general, that after 30 seconds my mouth starts to burn from the “minty-ness”.

Felt fresh
This is always my go to mouth wash, you definitely can’t go wrong with it. To me it leaves a refreshing clean taste. I sometimes with it weren’t so harsh because it lowkey burns after a few seconds but it does the job and it’s all that matters.

Minty fresh
I enjoy using mouthwash after brushing and flossing. Listerine, cool mint mouthwash has just the right amount of minty flavor and does not sting or burn my mouth.

So clean and fresh!
The best description is to take a deep breath with an ahhhhh after. It’s so minty fresh! My mouth feels so clean after rinsing. It’s killing those nasty germs and bacteria that causes bad breath. If my honey wants kisses, I can do a quick rinse. He always comments on how nice my breath smells. Always asks, when did you go brush your teeth? It’s my little secret to a fresh lovely mouth.

Works.
Listerine is a trusted brand in my opinion. I do it before I brush my teeth. I don’t mind the burn. They do much ones that don’t have that burn. Overall it’s a great product.

Fresh and clean
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using only Listerine for years! There are no generics that can compete with the clean and fresh feeling that only Listerine can give you.

Strong
I use to not like Listerine because because I thought it was too strong, but it also seems to really help with bath breath too. It’s strong enough that a small amount is all I need, I use it after using my WaterPik and toothbrush so my breath is extra fresh and mouth feels clean. A bottle lasts a very long time, so the price point is great to me.

Minty fresh
I love using this mouthwash after brushing my teeth. I love how it tastes and the burn I feel when swishing it in my mouth. My boyfriend isn’t a fan of the burn so for him I buy the alcohol free in this same flavor.

Strong but powerful
Great mouthwash, it’s strong . But after the pizza and all the good food we like, nothing better. Sensible mouth guys pick the one alcohol free to not have uncomfortable feelings .
