LISTERINE® Naturals Herbal Mint Antiseptic Mouthwash Review

Disclosure: I received a free sample of Listerine® Naturals Mouthwash from Crowdtap for testing purposes. All opinions are my own. 

Initial Thoughts
The Listerine mouthwash is CLEAR! Completely, see-through gorgeous clear! 


Learning about Listerine® Naturals
  • 99% Natural Formula with No Artificial Flavors or Dyes 
  • Brushing alone misses 75% of your mouth
  • Cleans the whole mouth, killing 99.9% of germs that cause bad breath, plaque, and gingivitis 

My Swishing Experience: 
I used Listerine mouthwash on and off before but did not stick with it because I could not get used to it's strong burning sensation. I decided to give Listerine Naturals mouthwash a try because it appeared more benign (and natural!) than the classic blue/green Listerine mouthwash. I started off with a sniff and it had a strong, alcohol/chemical sort of smell so I was already expecting big things in terms of germ killing and mouth cleaning. 


Well, it did not disappoint. I swished a little and immediately received a mouth-tingling, eye-watering sensation. It really felt like it was killing a lot of germs in my mouth. It was still pretty strong (or maybe I'm just weak). The burning sensation was similar to the classic Listerine mouthwashes. Due to the intensity of the mouthwash, I was only able to swish for around 10 seconds. (The label recommends 30 seconds.) Next time, I think I will mix in some water to reduce the intensity. 

Takeaway: 
My favorite thing about the Listerine Naturals mouthwash is that there is very little aftertaste and all of the aftertaste quickly goes away. Perhaps this has something to do with the natural ingredients used in the mouthwash. 

Recommend? 
Yes. It is great that the mouthwash has no artificial flavors or dyes and yet still gets the job done. I also really like that there is little aftertaste.
