We appreciate you sharing this with us, and we understand how frustrating it must be to taste your mouthwash long after using it, Ally. We have many safety checks to ensure our products are safe to use as directed. Crest Deep Cleanse Germ Treatment Mouthwash does not cause permanent taste alteration.

I purchased this one and the pink bottle. 5 stars for the pink version but this one leaves a terrible taste in your mouth that lingers for hours and even affects how your next meal tastes. I don't know how the formulations are so different but absolutely do not recommend the dark blue bottle version.

Sct - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
I wanted to like this, because I think it is very effective. My mouth does feel cleaner and my breath stays fresh a long time, even after a light breakfast. But, it gave me mouth ulcers and burned my tongue. I could barely taste anything all day after I started using this. I used less than recommended because I have quite a small mouth, and I even tried diluting it like another reviewer suggested but it wasn’t great for me personally.

Finally!

SusanM - 9 months ago, Verified purchaser
Finally found a mouthwash to replace a discontinued one I loved. I wanted a germ-killing rinse for the morning that wasn't too strong of a mint, no burn, no mouth lining irritation (people who lose a layer of lining from certain ingredientsor peroxide you know what I mean!), no flouride (because I use a different flouride rinse at night), and this is it! The flavor is like a sweet peppermint but not harsh, leaves my mouth feeling fresh, and is so easy to use. My oral health has drastically improved after adding this and Plax into my routine. I can only find it at Target- please don't discontinue! I love this sooooo much! (My routine with this product that is working really well! *Start a podcast otherwise it's boring, use a timer on your phone to time brushing* 1. Swish with Plax. 2. Floss 3. Brush with either Arm & Hammer Whitening Plus TheraBreath toothpaste or Hello Dragon Dazzle Blue Raspberry (sometimes I don't want minty toothpaste). 4. Rinse well then swish with Crest Deep Cleanse. Spit, done. At night I do the same, but swap out the Crest Deep Cleanse for ACT Kids flouride rinse in whatever non mint flavor.) I might try the Crest flouride from this line though.)

Cinnamon Flavor :(

Targeted Audience - 10 months ago
Gross cinnamon flavor, almost no mint. These people who like the “mild mint flavor” must not realize that it is VERY mild mint and almost all cinnamon! I really wanted a mouthwash that was minty without tea tree or menthol, so I chose “mild mint” which was a big mistake. This is so disgusting and disappointing, please be warned this is mildly mint because it is majority cinnamon. I’m returning. Why don’t they say what else is in their “mint” flavor?!

This is honestly (I'm 60) the best mouthwash I've ever used! Got it on a whim to see how I might like a non-alcohol mouthwash, and this is nothing short of terrific. I use it at night before bed, swish and spit (no rinse). I wake up without "morning breath" and just feel great. But I haven't found it outside of Target (I live close so it's not too big a deal, but odd that it's not in my even closer drug store).

While I definitely felt like cleaner I had a weird taste that lasts for a whole day. I liked that it wasn't overly minty, and I did indeed feel a cleaner mouth. I can't get over the taste of it in my mouth all day. It does last 24 ish hours though.
