Listerine Zero Mouthwash, 1 Liter

I'm not a fan of gargling hot lava first thing in the morning. So I have long considered Listerine a kind of necessary evil. Yeah, it'll kill the germs and make everything minty fresh. In the process, it will slap you awake with the unadulterated sting of hot alcohol-on-flesh action. Every morning I found myself hearing the infamous Ralph Wiggum quote ricocheting through my mind: "Tastes like burning!"

Enter Listerine Zero. I was skeptical when I learned about this alcohol-free product which claimed to be gentle and pleasing on the delicate innards of my face. "Mouthwash without the burn?!" I yelled incredulously at no one in particular, chuckling at the nonsense of it all. BURNING is how mouthwash works, you see. The alcohol stings everything in your mouth, including bad breath germs. We live. The germs die. It is the natural order of things.

Well folks, I don't know how the good people behind Listerine have done it, but they really have delivered on their promise. I took a swig. I swished the pleasant light blue concoction around in my mouth. I noticed a slight tingling sensation but nothing like the burning of years past. Afterward, my breath was indeed minty fresh, and all was right with the world.

True story: After using Listerine Zero, I went out on a date with a pretty girl and got a kiss at the end of it. I have no idea if the two were related, but the Listerine definitely didn't hurt!

(There is only one problem with this product, and that is the insane grammatical error plastered on the front of the bottle: "Proven to kill germs that cause bad breath on contact." Most people probably won't care, but I don't much like the smell of misplaced modifiers in the morning. So I've penciled in an ellipsis after "breath," and now I can breathe easy again.)

In conclusion: Get the mouthwash. Seriously, you no longer need to put up with regular Listerine, which slaps you in the face before it tells you it loves you. It doesn't have to hurt anymore. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault.

I have always used the regular alcohol-based listerine mouthwash before I went to bed for more than 5 years, but then I decided to try this when it was on sale. It was probably a poor decision when I bought the large size because I started to get inner mouth peeling when I woke up every morning. I ignored it the first few days, but it just got progressively worse as I continued to use it throughout the weeks. I finally reached the point when I need to alternate days I'm using this now because I feel like the mouthwash is weakening my inner mouth skin and gums. Here is an overall summary of pros/cons I have found:

Pros:

1) As advertised, zero alcohol means no burning whatsoever

Cons:

1) Inner mouth peeling! A thin film develops over your gums and teeth, and the skin of your inner mouth becomes loose. [Read below for advice]

2) I personally do not get a clean, minty aftertaste I used to get with the alcohol-based listerine. It feels like I rinsed my mouth with water and it still feels dirty.

Recommendation: Do not buy this if you are comfortable with the regular alcohol-based listerine already, there is no additional benefit to switching to this type. If you do have problems with the irritation from the alcohol-based listerine, I would recommend this. HOWEVER, I would suggest that you rinse your mouth with a couple cups of water after using this to wash off residual mouthwash that will cause inner mouth peeling later. This will not completely remove the side effect, but it will reduce it. Another suggestion is to try a trial-size before buying the large size to be sure you are comfortable with using this.

This tastes much better than normal listerine and doesn't burn my mouth. But looking at the list of ingredients.. none of the active ingredients are present. So when you read a study that shows listerine kills 99% of some type of bacteria, it doesn't apply to this product! What's the point of using something that has no studies backing it up?

My son's dentist noticed that his gums were irritated and she explained it was not from plaque but from the alcohol based Listerine. We switched him to this and he loves it. He had hated the burn from the standard Listerine. We still use the old stuff and love that but he will stick to the Zero. His gums are much better and he is happy. He reports that this has a "way nicer flavor" than the regular Listerine and the dentist told me it will do the job just as well,
