Whitening Anticavity Fluoride Mouthwash, Gentle Mint, 16.9 fl. oz.

My dentist uses this - he has me rinse my mouth for a minute before starting to work on my mouth - cleaning, whatever. I have used Listerine for many years but lately have been reading articles about not using the stronger mouthwashes so much, as they could be killing off good bacteria along with any bad. I don't know if that's the case, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to give this Act no alcohol whitening mouthwash a try. It has a slight foaming quality. You are to swish it for about a minute, then they suggest not rinsing your mouth or drinking water for 30 minutes -- sometimes I do this and sometimes I do not. I don't find the taste to be off-putting. And there's no 'burn' to my mouth like when I used the stronger alcohol mouthwash. But my mouth still feels clean and fresh.

Been using for 5 yrs but couldn't find it in stores anymore. My new very observant dentist couldn't tell I smoked, by smell or look. It's very strong peroxide, so I cut the formula exactly in half with bottled water. I brush AFTER swishing to work it in and get rid of that "foamy slime" feel. Rinse and gargle well with water afterwards. I didn't use it once and I had the nastiest mouth like I didn't brush at all, such a huge difference in overall mouth hygiene.

The product is fine as a rinse, but it's listed as a fluoride mouthwash. It doesn't contain fluoride per the ingredient list. So if you want a fluoride rinse, this isn't it. OOPS! Please disregard my inaccurate statement. I was reading the ingredient list at the bottom of the label, but that was for Inactive Ingredients. It does contain fluoride. I doubt I'll purchase it again, however, because it has an odd texture unlike all the other ACT products I've used.

This is the first time using a whitening mouth. I liked the idea that it had no alcohol in it. When I used it the first time it formed up it my mouth a lot and THE BURN was really bad. I could only leave it in my mouth for about 15 seconds. 🥵 I think it whitened my teeth just a tad. I'm going to keep using it but I think I'll dilute it with a little water. The flavor was really nice, no medicine taste, very pleasant. I will be ordering more. I'd recommend this product.

Our dentist swears by ACT so when I wanted to add a whitening mouthwash because of my increased coffee intake, I went with ACT. It works, in a few days, my teeth are definitely whiter and my teeth are sensitive due to Invisalign but this doesn’t bother me at all

It definitely takes some getting used to because of the Hydrogen peroxide, but the foaming is letting me know it's working. It doesn't have a bad taste, doesn't have a taste at all, and you only need a small amount of it. I cannot tell yet about the whitening part but I like how it helps my teeth and gums.

I like that this mouthwash is alcohol-free because it is much easier to use than formulas that leave a strong burning sensation. The gentle mint flavor is fresh without being overpowering, and it leaves my mouth feeling clean after brushing. The fluoride is also a useful addition for everyday cavity protection. Where it falls short for me is the whitening aspect. I did not notice a meaningful change in the appearance of my teeth after several days, so the “whiter smile in four days” claim feels optimistic based on my experience. It also does not leave the same long-lasting fresh feeling as some stronger mouthwashes, although that may be part of the tradeoff for the gentler formula. This is a decent everyday fluoride rinse if comfort and an alcohol-free formula are the priorities. I would keep expectations modest regarding noticeable whitening.

Freshens breath and whitens teeth!
