Antiseptic Mouthwash

Think of antiseptic mouthwash as your germ-fighting rinse. It helps prevent plaque, gingivitis, and bad breath germs. LISTERINE® mouthwash uses a powerful blend of essential oils to kill up to 99.9% of germs in just 30 seconds — reaching spots your brush can’t.

Yes! LISTERINE® antiseptic rinses like COOL MINT® and FRESHBURST® don’t just mask odor. They help fight the germs that cause bad breath. Rinse for 30 seconds twice a day for full-mouth coverage and a fresh, clean feel.

It means the formula actively kills germs on contact. The essential oils in LISTERINE® mouthwash deliver a deep clean beyond brushing, helping prevent early gum disease and keeping breath fresh longer.

For optimal results with LISTERINE® antiseptic mouthwash: pour about 20ml, swish for 30 seconds, then spit. Do this twice daily after brushing and flossing. That quick routine kills oral bacteria and gives you a clean that lasts.
