CB12Mint Menthol Mouthwash, Enamel Strengthening, Pleasant Breath For 12 Hours, 250 ml

I have chronic bad breath. This seems to have nothing whatsoever to do with my oral hygiene; no matter how often or how thoroughly I brush my teeth, scrape my tongue, floss and use mouthwash, the halitosis returns within a couple of hours of my last oral hygiene routine. I have had to resort to a combination of never getting too close to people, breathing away from people (even going as far as holding my breath when in close proximity), and chewing a lot of gum to mask the smell.I saw an advert for CB12 on TV and decided to investigate it. I read the scientific explanation on how CB12 works and the clinical studies with a large dose of skepticism (I was mainly concerned about the small sample sizes, and whether reducing volatile sulphur compounds really does result in reduced bad breath). Still, there was definitely promise, and I decided to give it a go.Frankly, I'm amazed by the performance of CB12. I use it in the mornings after brushing my teeth and scraping my tongue, and it completely eliminates bad breath for the entire day. How do I know this? Well, my first method is scraping the back of my tongue, waiting for it to dry and then smelling it. The smell from this is usually nauseatingly bad, but after using CB12, it has completely disappeared. My second method is asking my partner to smell my breath. She has always been very honest in this regard, letting me know when it smells and when it doesn't smell, which is important because I've therefore always had a way of gauging how successful my various attempts to stop my breath smelling have been. After starting on CB12, I have asked her to smell my breath so many times over the past week that she's getting bored of saying "no, it doesn't smell"! It's just such a wonderful feeling.For me, it lasts for at least 12 hours. After I come home from work in the evenings, I have been asking my partner to test my breath every single hour. CB12 has been working until I go to bed (which is well over 12 hours). In fact, I have actually found that it has been working for a full 24 hours. I wake up in the morning and immediately ask my partner to smell my breath (yes, she is extremely sick of me asking her!). So far, I haven't had any morning breath on any of the days, which for me is close to a miracle! Apparently, my breath smells of "nothing".As for the negative aspects of CB12, I can think of three:1) It is expensive. However, 40p a day to eliminate bad breath is well worth it for me, and I will be re-purchasing this forever. If it was a pill that eliminates bad breath for 40p a day, everybody would see it as incredibly cheap. However, because it is a mouthwash, we can't help but compare it to other mouthwash prices.2) This product isn't for dental hygiene. It does contain fluoride, but CB12 makes no claims about actually doing things like fighting plaque or helping enamel. I don't necessarily view this as a bad thing (I'd much rather have a product which does one thing very well rather than doing a bit of everything badly, which is what normal mouthwashes seem to do). However, just be aware that if you switch from using a normal mouthwash to CB12, I imagine it will be worse for your teeth in general (any dentists, please correct me on this if I've got it wrong). I've got around this by using CB12 in the mornings and a normal mouthwash at night time.3) It doesn't protect you from the smells of food you eat after taking CB12. This is a completely unrealistic expectation for a mouthwash. CB12 is protecting you from the bad smells created by the bacteria in your mouth, but if you eat a raw onion, your breath will smell of raw onion for a while! You'd have to clean your teeth and use mouthwash after eating this to get this smell away quickly.I've given CB12 five stars because it does exactly what it claims to do and more. I would go so far as to say that it has changed my life. I'm no longer scared to breathe freely when I'm around people, and get a rush of excitement from breathing near their faces, just knowing that my breath smells good (I know that sounds very sad!). To all you halitosis-sufferers out there, please just give this stuff a try.

Good product

Have bought these before and been impressed with how effective they are! But this is the first time I’ve bought the minty one, so fingers crossed!! Fair value for money, quick delivery and long lasting

I was surprised that after a ne use it did the trick but needs to be used twice daily with flossing. What was a game changer for me was getting OCD about oral hygiene. I apply toothpaste to teepees and go inbetween my teeth.Happier gums now!

I think you get what you pay for with this product. Sure it isn’t as cheap as other brands you will find, but they aren’t as good when it comes to long lasting fresh breath. This product gives you fresh breath for hours so long as you don’t start eating and drinking straight afterwards!The size of the product is really useful at 250ml and I take it with me to work, if I know I’m going to be attending meetings or my breath gets particularly stinky. I’ve had teeth removed, and in the process of getting more work done so I’m really conscious of my bad breath.I’ve tried a LOT of mouth washes and I do use others for general use, after cleaning my teeth for example, water flossing as I can’t really afford to be rinsing my mouth with this product all the time. I really wish the product was cheaper, but I’m considering a subscription as it really is that good.Please let me know if you found my review helpful.

Tried almost every mouthwash, as my breath can be awful using this has changed my daily life not having to worry about bad breath! It’s expensive but it’s worth every penny

My personal opinion, (only), not too different to any other mouthwash I have used previously.

This is a great product to help combat bad breath. Much better than any other mount wash we have used before. We used to buy this in our local pharmacy until we found it on Amazon and found it to be much cheaper to buy on here so have begun a subscription. Would definitely recommend.
