BRIOTECH Oral Swish, Hypochlorous Acid Mouthwash Rinse, Gentle Oral Care Hygiene, Fight Bad Breath, Support Against Plaque, Gum Irritation & Tender Gums, Alcohol & Fluoride Free, 17 fl oz

Wow, this stuff is great. I had a canker sore under my tongue that was driving me nuts because it hurt so bad, even when I wasn't eating, and a random case of oral thrush. Not sure what triggered it because I rinse, brush, and floss twice a day, but something was off and it happened. Anyway, I decided to try this because of the saline and hypochlorous acid. I love hypochlorous acid for my face so I figured I'd try it for my mouth too lol. So glad I did; my sore and thrush was practically gone in 1-2 days of using this 2-3 times a day, and it didn't dry my mouth out at all. I'll probably keep using this 2-3 times a week for good maintenance and keep using my regular mouthwash alongside it the rest of the time. This is a very effective rinse that heals. I will definitely buy again. The taste is not as bad to me as others say it is either. To me, it just tasted like salt water, which is usually used to rinse when you have issues of the mouth anyway.

Doesn’t taste great but works

Be sure to follow the instructions. Don’t use too much on each use.

It taste like salt water, but tolerable & taste does not linger.

A very good mouthwash if you have irritated gums from bacteria. Works well and leaves your mouth feeling clean too. Does not have an overpowering taste of any kind.

This has a kind of offputting taste like you are drinking swimming pool water. It makes me not want to use it.

Does what it is expected to do.

I knew to expect that this wouldn't be a pleasant experience with regard to taste, but it was more strongly an unpleasant experience than I expected. It's been a long time since I've had pool water in my mouth, but this is much stronger than that plus salty. I'm assuming it is safe, but the taste leaves a lingering doubt. It doesn't burn at all, to its credit. I can't speak to the efficacy. I haven't noticed any changes, but I really wouldn't have expected to. That would be at a microbial level. But what surprised me the most was how much this dries my mouth out. I've used Closys which is similar in that it's supposed to be neutral and soothing, but I stopped because I developed red patches in my mouth that may have been related to it (not entirely sure). But it wasn't drying. And yet this was, each time I've used it. I have a dry mouth gel and I found myself reaching for it immediately after using the mouthwash, and my mouth almost instantly seemed to absorb the dry mouth gel and remained dry. I had read that this was supposed to be soothing and non-drying, and I've used the hypochlorous acid products from this company meant for skin and not found it drying, so it may be an idiosyncratic reaction that I have. It's difficult to find studies on how effective this is with regard to gingivitis because its use as a mouthwash is so new, which makes it difficult to know whether to put up with the taste and dry mouth it causes in me. My item did not arrive in the blue box that I see in the product listing, but it did have the safety seal intact. I give it three stars because I assume that it's probably an effective antimicrobial moutwash.

When I buy anything I look at the ingredients. This time for some reason I did not do a full ingredient list check. I discover that there is NO ingredient list on the bottle. This is peculiar, and the term " Pure Hypochlorous" does not appear anywhere; instead the shortened version "HOCl" does, which can mean ANYTHING. Also, there is a short video of someone claiming the product is free of artificial flavours and parabens, flouride, etc. well, why then is not this claim stated on the bottle? I see many people have claimed this is a great product; sure, if it's actually a great product.

you definitely CAN taste it while you’re swishing, and it tastes, unsurprisingly, like saline and hypochlorous acid! but i read your review and i TRUSTED you. never again, kristy. my mouth feels clean, but at what cost?
