Colgate Total Active Prevention Alcohol-Free Mouthwash - Peppermint - 1L

I have been using Colgate Total Toothpaste for maybe 20 years now, and I very rarely have cavities. However I typically use the store brand of mouthwashes but I decided to give this a try, as I have a lot of trust in Colgate Total. Unfortunately there is not a lot of mint flavor, but I think it still does a good job at making my mouth feel clean. But as another reviewer pointed out, it does kind of taste like black licorice rather than peppermint. And like another reviewer, I do experience a slight burn, but only if I swish for too long(more than 30 seconds) even though this is alcohol free. I’ll probably go back to buying the store brand, to be honest, since I don’t have any side effects from that.

Used to be my favorite, with a really nice peppermint flavor, but the new formula change is horrible. Now it burns and leaves my mouth dry and tastes nothing like it used to. I thought I was going crazy until I saw others with the same complaints.

salesperson located a bottle for me . did not notice it had been opened (plastic wrap was missing from cap) until after I got it home . would recommend an unopened one.

The new formula is gross and disappointing. Unfortunately I ordered a 3 pack that I will not use. The mouthwash leaves an awful taste in your mouth. My family has used this mouthwash for years but we will be looking for something else. Please bring back the old formula!

They changed the formula. Tastes just like Listerine. Absolutely horrible. Colgate says they use sugar substitutes or artificial & natural sweeteners to improve flavor. THE FLAVOR WAS FINE BEFORE! They ruined the flavor. They said all of their ingredients are backed by science and incorporated to keep me and my smile bright and healthy. SO WERE THE PREVIOUS INGREDIENTS! Nobody asked for this! Returning both bottles and switching to Crest.

New formulation adds sucralose and makes it taste terrible, don't know why you'd add a sugar derivative to an oral care prodcut

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t really care for this mouthwash. The taste was pepperminty and nothing extraordinary. I suppose having a bigger bottle would be convenient for busy people who don’t like to purchase often but it was cumbersome to handle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I loved this mouthwash. It has a great peppermint flavor and leaves your mouth feeling refreshed and clean after rinsing for a minute. Definitely making this a part of our routine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mouthwash worked well. It leaves my mouth fresh and clean. I would recommend this product to others. It did a good job.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed getting to try Colgate Total Active Prevention Peppermint Mouthwash. It’s alcohol free and has a nice light peppermint flavor. My mouth feels clean afterwards and it helps with bad breath. This is a great alcohol free mouthwash that doesn’t burn your mouth.

My family has used the peppermint flavor of Colgate Total mouthwash for years. We recently purchased several bottles with the new package design. Upon opening one, a change in flavor was immediately apparent. A check of the ingredients list confirmed my suspicion - the formulation now contains sucralose. Numerous studies indicate that this and similar artificial sweeteners can contribute to serious health conditions. My family do our best to avoid these ingredients, and it's disappointing to learn that we now need to change mouthwash brands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Colgate mouthwash is ok. I am not trading in my current fave for it. It had a decent fresh breath timeframe, but it didn’t have me feeling a complete full mouth clean. I had cilantro and I could still slightly taste the cilantro after washing my mouth, which is not the case with my current wash.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mouthwash was refreshing and left my mouth feeling clean.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this mouthwash because it is alcohol free, 24 hours antibacterial protection, and has just enough strength but not that much burn to it. It leaves your breath fresh, minty and also clears your sinuses. I will definitely purchase when I need more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually liked this product. Although, it wasn't as minty as I expected it to be; it did provide a good feeling of a total clean. I used it more for gum pulling. I normally use SmarthMouth but if my normal isn't available, this product would be my next go to.

They say it was a design change but the new mouthwash tastes horrible. Idk what they did to it but I might move on to something else. I've bought this for years. Very disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this mouthwash! It was a pleasant flavor and didn't mind it at all! My mouth felt so clean after using it! There was not a bad aftertaste either! I will be buying this again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the brand Colgate! Their products are top notch and perfect. They do the job and do it well. I would recommend to everyone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not usually a fan of peppermint flavored mouthwash but this made my mouth feel so clean and fresh. I loved the fact that it doesn't have a medicine taste to it and it doesn't linger. I would definitely buy again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a bottle of this Colgate Total mouthwash as a free sample, and it’s the best! I use it after brushing my teeth and it leaves my mouth feeling so clean and my breath really fresh. I’ll continue using it in the future
