I received this thanks to the Product Review Club.
I liked that it was alcohol-free and didn't sting. It did just what it was supposed to do, but I find, that my mouth doesn't feel very fresh without a little bit of a sting from a mouthwash. Dompared to the other mouthwashes I have used before, this one was just as effective. I would have liked a line on the inside of the cap to indicate the recommended 20 mL, but I just used as much as I needed.

I would definitely recommend this to friends and family, as it does a great job.

I received this as part of the Product Review Club. I'm not usually someone who uses mouthwash often, but I didn't mind this -- it didn't seem to sting or burn that much, although it did have that tingly mouthwash feeling! It freshened my breath and made my mouth feel like it was extra-clean when I incorporated it into my dental hygiene routine.

Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse ($4.49 at Wal-Mart Canada) claims to provide the user with 6 oral care benefits, 2 of which could not be confirmed without before-and-after visits to a dental practitioner (helps prevent plaque, helps prevent gingivitis). As there is no evidence supporting the contrary, I will believe these claims to be true.

I can comment on the remaining four claims however: Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse claims to 'kill germs' and 'freshens breath', which I do believe is the case given the fresh sensation in my mouth following use of the rinse. Crest claims that the rinse 'keeps teeth cleaner* ' (note the asterisk, which on the back of the bottle indicates ' *vs. brushing alone' which once again I believe to be true (as the application of a rinse has a far-greater coverage than what can be had with but a toothbrush, however, a rinse obviously can not scrub away tartar, plaque, bacteria and food residue from teeth as a toothbrush with toothpaste can, thus the necessity to use both products.) Crest also claims that the rinse does all this 'without the burning sensation of alcohol' which again is accurate (the rinse is alcohol-free).

The lack of alcohol in the rinse is evident. The mouth sensation experienced when using the rinse is extremely mild (I myself am accustomed to using Cool Mint Listerine, which is far more 'hardcore' than this mild rinse.) As well as the sensation itself being mild, so is the taste. The mint-taste of the Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse reminds me very much of the taste found in much cheaper store brand mouthwashes (such as Wal-Mart's Equate brand) and given this mild sensation combined with the mild taste, Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse does not seem nearly as potent as Cool Mint Listerine. Also worth noting is that the after-taste after spitting the rinse is extremely similar to flat Root Beer (such as the small remaining amount at the bottom of a 2 litre A&W;or Barq's brand bottle) which does not associate with 'freshness' to me.

The application of the rinse itself was fairly easy: after brushing and flossing, ensure to rinse one's mouth out with water, and then rinse with 20 ml of Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse for 30 seconds. Once spat, the Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse seems to generate a foaming sensation in one's mouth, however this foam dissipates once outside of the user's mouth.

The product itself is a light aqua-blue colour, contained in a clear plastic bottle with a diamond or gem-cut theme, and the cap is large, fairly easy to grip and extremely easy to open and then re-screw shut (note that there is no child-lock-protection on this cap, so best to keep this product away from children).

Overall, at $4.46 for 500 ml, Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse is a more expensive-priced product (for a name brand) that boasts an impressive list of benefit claims, however, the lack of sensation, strength and confidence that this rinse exudes is not enough to convince me to give up my Cool Mint Listerine, which is not only more potent but also a much better value, at $5.79 for a full 1 litre of product.

I don't really like using Rinse. They are often too strong, making me mouth feel dry. This one was different. Not to strong. I'm still not in the rinse crew. But people that like to use one would definately appreciate this one.

I have recently been using the Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse as part of my dental routine. While the taste of this isn't too bad I will say when using this mouth wash, especially for the first time it can be pretty overwhelming. I sometimes found it hard to gargle and rinse with this for the whole 30 seconds because it is very strong but I do think it's tolerable.

One thing I really like about this rinse is that when you spit it out into your sink, whatever little morsels of food were left in your mouth are slightly coloured blue. The reason I really like this is because you get to see how well this mouthwash was working and how it gave your mouth that extra bit of cleaning. I do not feel however, that my breath feels fresh four hours although yes my teeth feel clean for hours.

After using this mouthwash you can not eat or drink for 30 minutes. I can be an impatient person so sometimes I don't like having to wait until I can eat however, in a way I kind of like it because I feel like it shows the power of the rinse.

Overall I do like this rinse and I would recommend it.

I must say I do not typically use mouth wash but I was satisfied with this product.

It was very refreshing and left my mouth feeling clean! There was a slight after taste which I was not a fan of. Overall I was satisfied!

I got to try this mouthwash as part of the Product Review Club. I'm pretty skeptical of mouthwash; I can usually never gargle/rinse for the allotted time and I need to rinse my mouth with water afterwards because of how much it burns my mouth. I found Crest Pro Health Rinse different. I was able to use it for 30 seconds and have never felt the need to rinse afterwards. I love how fresh and clean my mouth feels afterwards. Crest has made me a mouthwash user and believer!!

I received this mouthwash from ChickAdvisor and Crest to try - and I'm so glad that I was selected.

This mouthwash is brilliant - it has a great taste, significantly minimizes that horrid burn-effect that so many other mouthwashes have, and leaves my mouth feeling fresh for hours! It wonderfully complements the toothpaste and toothbrush!

I highly recommend this product and will be buying again.

Thank you ChickAdvisor and Crest!!! xoxo.

I received this product from the review club for trial. I loved this rinse!! It didn't leave that lingering burning sensation that most mouthwashes do. It made my mouth feel clean and left me with fresh breathe for quite a long time. After using this product, when I was at the pharmacy I noticed it came in other flavours and I'm excited to try them all.

I generally do not use a mouth wash as I find they sting and are hard on my mouth but Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse is different. My mouth felt very clean and it gave me long lasting fresh breath. I have no problem recommending this product.
