This is one of my favorite non-mint, non-traditional mouthwashes. No, it's not super tasty, and it can take some getting used to - my 12-year son describes it as "salty pool water" that makes his mouth pucker. But I don't use it for its delicious taste, I use it for its function - and for that, it is superb. And from an adult perspective, the taste is totally tolerable. Just think of it as a mild oral disinfectant that is much gentler than a certain well known, very strongly flavored, alcoholic-based antiseptic mouthwash brand. This rinse doesn't burn, unless you have an existing mouth injury or canker sore, in which case anything would burn. But this actually helps mouth sores heal by gently disinfecting without stripping away layers of tissue. In the same way this mouthwash helps freshen breath - by helping to remove your oral biofilm and by killing the germs that cause bad breath. But regardless of its excellence as a mouthwash, I primarily use it for cleaning and deodorizing my mouth guard, which I wear every night. I won't claim to know whether this product technically disinfects oral appliances completely, such as those fizzy tablets claim, but since I'm allergic to mint my options are extremely limited. Once a week I disinfect it using a traditional method, after which I have to soak it in water for hours to remove all traces of mint flavoring. The rest of the time, I soak it in this rinse for 5-10 minutes before bed, and voila, it's good as new! Read more
This is great for disinfecting my face and back after a workout or throughout the day. I love that it’s scent free, doesn’t burn or irritate my skin, and the size is very convenient for refilling spray bottles. Read more
Wow, this stuff is great. I had a canker sore under my tongue that was driving me nuts because it hurt so bad, even when I wasn't eating, and a random case of oral thrush. Not sure what triggered it because I rinse, brush, and floss twice a day, but something was off and it happened. Anyway, I decided to try this because of the saline and hypochlorous acid. I love hypochlorous acid for my face so I figured I'd try it for my mouth too lol. So glad I did; my sore and thrush was practically gone in 1-2 days of using this 2-3 times a day, and it didn't dry my mouth out at all. I'll probably keep using this 2-3 times a week for good maintenance and keep using my regular mouthwash alongside it the rest of the time. This is a very effective rinse that heals. I will definitely buy again. The taste is not as bad to me as others say it is either. To me, it just tasted like salt water, which is usually used to rinse when you have issues of the mouth anyway.

This is the best mouth wash for treating periodontal disease and preventing it on the market and the only one I use that is premade. Read more
This product is great for mouth sores or daily mouth wash. It does taste very similar to hydrogen peroxide which makes it hard to gargle for very long. Read more
I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my gum health since using this regularly, especially when it comes to healing irritation from accidental cheek or tongue biting. There is a mild salt taste initially, but I’ve found that it becomes much less noticeable with continued use. It doesn’t burn or sting, making it easy to use consistently. Read more
I have sensitive gums and my husband has GERD. This was recommended by a hygienist. The flavor to me tastes like water with a dash of salt in it. But my gums do feel clean after and it’s safe for use as a swish or part of a solution in my water flosser. Doesn’t make much so I feel like the bottle will last a while. Read more
I knew to expect that this wouldn't be a pleasant experience with regard to taste, but it was more strongly an unpleasant experience than I expected. It's been a long time since I've had pool water in my mouth, but this is much stronger than that plus salty. I'm assuming it is safe, but the taste leaves a lingering doubt. It doesn't burn at all, to its credit. I can't speak to the efficacy. I haven't noticed any changes, but I really wouldn't have expected to. That would be at a microbial level. But what surprised me the most was how much this dries my mouth out. I've used Closys which is similar in that it's supposed to be neutral and soothing, but I stopped because I developed red patches in my mouth that may have been related to it (not entirely sure). But it wasn't drying. And yet this was, each time I've used it. I have a dry mouth gel and I found myself reaching for it immediately after using the mouthwash, and my mouth almost instantly seemed to absorb the dry mouth gel and remained dry. I had read that this was supposed to be soothing and non-drying, and I've used the hypochlorous acid products from this company meant for skin and not found it drying, so it may be an idiosyncratic reaction that I have. It's difficult to find studies on how effective this is with regard to gingivitis because its use as a mouthwash is so new, which makes it difficult to know whether to put up with the taste and dry mouth it causes in me. My item did not arrive in the blue box that I see in the product listing, but it did have the safety seal intact. I give it three stars because I assume that it's probably an effective antimicrobial moutwash. Read more
