Enjoy A Whiter, Brighter and Healthier Smile With Listerine {Review & Giveaway}

Wow...with all the health and beauty products I have been reviewing lately, I should look like a movie star by the end of this year! HA! I truly am grateful for the opportunities that are coming my way and it is so exciting to share these fantastic products with you and give you the chance to win a few of them too. Today, it is going to be another post about oral care products. I never used Listerine products when I was growing up. My mom would go cheap on all of the oral care products for my siblings and I mainly because there were 6 of us and it could get pricey. Listerine, or any mouth wash was used when we had the stomach flu to rinse after being sick. That is what my memories of mouth wash consist of as a child. Now that I am an adult,  I use Listerine regularly as part of my daily routine. I can't help but feel totally clean after using anything that is from Listerine.

Today, I am going to introduce you to several new products from Listerine and offer you the opportunity to win some for yourself too! Listerine has introduced their all new Listerine Ultraclean Mouthwash and Listerine Whitening Original Gel Toothpaste to their already popular line. I am already really happy with this brand and was very excited about the new products that they have introduced. Before I continue on though, here is a brief company over-view...

In the 1860’s, nearly half of all surgery patients died from post-surgery infection. Dr. Joseph Lister, now hailed as the “Father of Modern Antisepsis,” championed the use of antiseptics and sterile surgery, drastically reducing mortality rates. In 1879, Dr. Joseph Lawrence and Jordan Lambert developed a remarkable new antiseptic using four essential oils: MENTHOL, THYMOL, METHYL SALICYLATE AND EUCOLYPTOL in precise measure, which they named, “LISTERINE®,” in honor of Dr. Lister. 

Immediately, LISTERINE® Brand earned the trust of doctors, dentist and hygienists for its ability to kill harmful germs, including the germs that cause bad breath. In nearly every decade of its history scientists continued to uncover new benefits of the tried and tested formula. They discovered that LISTERINE® also killed germs that caused plaque and gingivitis, making the brand much more than a bad breath remedy, helping to improve the oral health of millions of consumers worldwide.

Today, LISTERINE® brand is the leading oral care rinse in the world and the #1 OTC Brand recommended by dental professionals. It is also the only brand of mouthwash to use those four essential oils. 133 years after its conception, LISTERINE® brand continues to pioneer new ways to improve oral health and the lives of consumers. 

Sometimes it is easy to just look at a company and never bother to check out their history. Each company has a story and I am truly fascinated by Listerine's story. Any product that works to prevent infection and kill germs is a winner in my book and I love the stories that show how they get to where they are now.

So, for this review I was sent Listerine Ultraclean Mouthwash, Listerine Whitening Original Gel and Listerine PocketPaks Oral Care Strips.

I have been using these for several days now and wanted to share my experience with you. The first product I tried was the Listerine Whitening Original Gel. This toothpaste is very strong in taste and tastes like it is working hard to clean my teeth. It isn't harsh, just strong. My teeth definitely feel clean after brushing with it!

After brushing, I tried the Ultraclean Mouthwash. This stuff is amazing. If you have ever used Listerine before than you know that after swishing it in your mouth for a few seconds, it starts to burn. Well, this does that. BUT, I know that it is doing that because it is killing germs. Listerine Ultraclean Mouthwash boasts a powerful "dentist clean" feeling that lasts up to 3 times longer vs. brushing alone. This mouthwash can reach areas that your toothpaste can't and that is so important. After rinsing, my mouth was totally refreshed. I loved how clean my teeth felt...it was a true Listerine experience!!

Then, today I was getting ready to run out to do some errands. I thought it would be the perfect time to try the Listerine PocketPaks Oral Care Strips  These are so great. All you do is pull out a paper-thin strip and place it on your tongue. In seconds, it dissolves and you are left with minty fresh breath. I love using these. The package is small enough to fit in a pocket, purse or wallet and you have fresh breath any time you need it!

All of these Listerine products can be found at mass retailers and drug stores across the country. You can find a store near you by checking out Listerine's handy store locator on their site. Listerine Ultraclean Mouthwash retails for $3.89, Listerine Whitening Original Gel is $4.49 and Listerine PocketPaks Oral Care Strips retail for about $1.50 for a single pack.

So, in my opinion...Listerine's newest products are wonderful! My husband has even started to use them and I love that he is taking extra care of his teeth now too. Proper oral care is important and should never be overlooked. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone!
