Curious how LISTERINE® Mouthwash has such a bold effect on oral health? The answer is simple: eucalyptol, menthol, methyl salicylate, and thymol—the 4 essential oils in LISTERINE®.
THE ANTIMICROBIAL ACTION OF LISTERINE® ANTISEPTIC COMES FROM ITS UNIQUE FORMULA, WHICH CONTAINS A FIXED COMBINATION OF 4 ESSENTIAL OILS FOUND IN NATURAL PLANT SOURCES.

WHAT DOES LISTERINE DO?
LISTERINE® Mouthwash reaches every site in the mouth, reducing plaque biofilm in areas that patients may miss when brushing and interdental cleaning
The 4 essential oils in LISTERINE® penetrate deeply into the bottom layers of the plaque biofilm, breaking down its structure in places that are more difficult for a toothbrush or interdental cleaning device to access1-3
A BOLD ACHIEVEMENT: BETTER PLAQUE REDUCTION THAN CPC.4
LISTERINE® Antiseptic penetrates deeper into the plaque biofilm than cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) mouthrinse
Confocal microscopy reveals a higher ratio of dead bacteria to living bacteria within the biofilm with LISTERINE® than with CPC mouthrinse or negative control
