LISTERINE® COOL MINT® Zero Alcohol Mouthwash

I bought this thinking it'd be less intense than the antiseptic one. Rinsed with it last night after brushing my teeth and now 12 hours later my tongue still feels horrible from it. I couldn't taste my pancakes and coffee at all this morning. Syrup tasted like nothing - no sweetness at all. I really hope this issue goes away soon, it is very concerning. I knew my tongue felt really weird for a long time after rinsing last night but I did not expect to still be feeling like this in the morning. I've never experienced this with any of the listerine mouthwashes that contain alcohol. What is going on? This is not good!

I have been using Listerine for years, most of my adult life, and this does not give you the burning sensation but still makes your mouth feel clean! Love it!

Makes mouth feel fresh and free of concerns. Reduces cavities for me. I use it whenever I can

Currently there are a lot of tests linking alcohol to Cancer, so for me going alcohol free is a no brainer... this works well and has never left a residue, very happy with the switch from rotating around the other alcohol based listerines to this.. doesn't deserve the bad press it's getting..

Leaves a white film in my mouth that is tough to get rid of.

I tried the one that wasn't alcohol free first and I feel in love with it .. I accidentally grabbed this one trying to replace my previous one and it was good until I realized this white slim was left behind in my mouth and now I spend all morning trying to get it out.

It's not overpowering and so I can use it without having to "brace" myself for the total "wake up". I keep a travel size in my purse to rinse on the go. No medicine-like aftertaste to interfere with that midday coffee break! May sound silly, but I love the color, too.

I used to rarely use mouthwash as the intensity would burn my mouth terribly and I would end up rinsing with water afterwards, despite the instructions saying not to rinse eat or drink for some time after. My dentist recommended Listerine Zero as medication is causing me some dental issues and he said I need to use mouthwash. I was pleasantly surprised that I could use Listerine Zero and I do not need to rinse. I am however somewhat concerned with the sloughing (shedding of gum tissue). This is definitely what it is as my dentist has seen it himself when I went to him for an appointment half an hour after I brushed and used mouthwash. I have always used Sensodyne and never had this happen, so I definitely attribute the sloughing to the mouthwash. He is now looking into why this is occurring. It is not just a little bit either- this is all my gums and inside of my cheeks, however there is no pain, redness or sensitivity, it just feels gross and it happens twice a day. I hope this company looks into this issue as there are many users with this problem and no answers as to why it happens.
