Great Mouthwash
I love the original mouthwash from listerine. It can get pretty hot but after using it regularly everyday, it’s not so hot. I have both small and big bottles for home and travel.

Not too strong
This is an OK mouthwash, I feel it does not last long when using this product for fresh breath. The cap is hard to twist open, even when pressing in the sides as directed. I do like that it is alcohol free, it does not sting my mouth at all, it is definitely a less intense feeling than the regular Listerine. My mouth and teeth feel very clean after using this product as directed .

Powerful
This works wonders!!! This is so powerful, it works better than any mouth wash I’ve ever used. It’s not for the weak though, it will have all the pores in your body open after using this.

Works great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our dentist recommended this years ago and we have been using it since. Sometimes the original just can't be improved upon.

Nasty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm sorry... Whoever made this hates having taste buds. Why do you put so much alcohol in it. It's supposed to clean your mouth not burn it off.

A TRUSTED RESOURCE !
I have used the original formula Listerine for many years as have my ancestors. I especially like that the formula is not sweetened. I will continue to use the original formula and both my hygienist and dentist highly approve.

Good Mouth Wash
I started using this mouth wash after my dentist recommended it to me. I use it before I floss/brush. It has a nice taste to it.

Good mouthwash but bad taste
I tried this mouthwash and I would say it’s good but it’s hard to Desk with the taste. It’s a really strong alcohol taste

Absolutely loved it !!!
This is a must go for someone who cares a lot about their oral hygiene. One less thing to worry about . It actually prevents cavities and also tastes good. Keeps those bacterial and bad smell out of your mouth for a long long time.

Fresh and So Clean Clean
I really liked this mouthwash. I was on the hunt for a mouthwash or rinse that didnt burn my mouth although im aware some people like the burn I dont. lol This purple colored anticavity mouthwash has everything you need to maintain healthy teeth and good breath. It also allows me to swish and spit for longer because there is zero alcohol burn in this one.

Have loved for years!
Listerine definitely has a strong bite to it but I love it. My teeth feel so clean and my breath is fresh after using it. I’m so glad they finally came out with flavors so it’s much more pleasant to use now. I always have some in my cabinet. It’s nice when I want to freshen up my breath but don’t feel like brushing for the 3rd or 4th time that day. Highly recommend.

Great!
When I lived with my parents idk why but my parents always like this specific flavor for some reason and I hated it lol.. not that I’m eating it but it just was not pleasant lol I like listerine but I typically would buy the blue and the green one.. but over the course of the years this one actually grew on me.. listerine is typically the brand of mouthwash I go for or crest and Colgate but that’s typically what I stick to.. I do think this one does a good job at giving you a fresh clean mouth! I typically use after I brush my teeth and let me just say the teeth feel super fresh and clean 😀

Good for sensitive teeth
The product is effective but seems a lot more gentle than some other versions I have tried in the past due to the lack of alcohol. The only issue I had is that sometimes I think it makes my mouth peel.

Old school best
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's been around this long for a reason: it works. I buy the big bottle and pour it into a decorative decanter and display on my bathroom counter. Also refill travel sizes with bug bottle.

Check sloughing
My dentist recommended I start using listerine so I bought this one because it says no alcohol. I’ve been using it for a month. It doesn’t burn too bad and I do see an improvement in my gums. However I started to notice a white film on my teeth when I woke up. I thought this was food residue (even though I floss as well) or maybe dead bacteria. After researching, I found out this product is causing my cheek skin to slough off! This could also damage the gums; I will switching to the original alcohol product.
