Kills germs/Wakes U Up!
There is nothing more fresh than having clean breath. No sweet or minty aftertaste; just a clean fresh mouth before you start your day. It does take some time to get use to because it is not a mild mouthwash; but a strong wash that packs a punch to kill the germs, plaque & halitosis in your mouth. Perhaps you never get use to it! Just remember, It will leave your mouth feeling clean, kills the germs and will definitely wake you up in the morning

The worst
I would nearly die using this product. I did work for me. It’s just a really strong taste and smell. Well it does help I won’t ever use this product anymore.

Perhaps I'm old school, but Listerine has been around forever; and I trust the brand. I like to use this after brushing my teeth. And even my Dentist has noticed the difference!

I tried this one but didn't see the no alcohol which means no burn which was weird for me at first. I thought no pain no gain but my mouth still felt clean after using. I really like that about this mouthwash. It was painful with the one i was using previously. Now I am not staring at my watch slowly watching the clock tick while my mouth is in pain. I definitely recommend this product! It doesn't have to hurt to get a clean mouth all.

Tongue Staining
I used Listerine Naturals because there were no dyes that stain your tongue. Now it is discontinued. So I will try original even though it has caramel coloring. Please bring back Naturals, it was the best

Best and most effective mouthwash EVER!
I have used original Listerine for 25 years and it is by far the best mouthwash! Yes, it’s intense but that’s why is leaves your mouth so incredibly clean, unlike the minty ones. I have received excellent reports from dentists my entire life and I give a lot of the credit to this mouthwash. I’ve noticed it’s getting g harder to find. PLEASE keep making the original!! It’s THE BEST!!

Only the original will do!
I cannot use anything but the original Listerine antiseptic mouthwash. I dislike mouthwashes that foam up like nobody's business i.e. most of the other Listerine flavours. Please keep making the original.

Product of the Ages!!!
When teeth brushing was introduced to me by my mom in 1969, she started me out on diluted original Listerine as my oral rinse. Since that time up till the present I’ve been a loyal user of the product and let me say that I find it to be the best mouthwash on the market.
I have tried other products over the years but I’ve always come back to original Listerine for I found that it does more than just deliver a sweet odor to the mouth like other products do; it really does kill germs as has been reflected in my dental hygiene reports over the years and it does so in a manner where you know it is working.
Please continue to keep this product on the market. There are many mouths that would appreciate it with mine being the first one.

My go-to mouthwash.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this mouthwash for decades. It definitely is strong. It is the only rinse I’ve used that makes my mouth feel clean. Minty mouthwashes just cover your breath for a little while. Listerine original makes my mouth feel clean.

The only one I use
All the other mouthwashes have a sugary/candy-like taste that I despise. I take my original Listerine everywhere I go.

Oldest Brand Found to be the Best
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Listerine Gold - for about 10 years at the recommendation of my then dentist in 2011. The results (used after brushing in the a.m. and p.m.) are proof of its effectiveness.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this mouthwash for more years than I can remember. It keeps my mouth clean and my gums healthy. When a product has been popular that long, it is definitely doing something right.

Smashes Oral Germs...
Orig. Listerine has done wonders to eliminate a cary grinding its way to being a major tooth ache. Basically this Listerine bites, literally. I take it to mean the product works as advertised and then some. My results were attained with a once/day wash rather than the recommended 2x daily. No doubt the user can realize enhanced results on the second regimen.
