Plax Fresh Tea Mouthwash Reviews

I absolutely adore green tea. In fact I have a cup right next to me at the moment. I purchased this immediately when I spotted it at the supermarket. Needless to say I was not disappointed. It did have a refreshing green tea taste. I actually thought it tasted quite nice/pleasant - better than the burning alcohol ones. Cleans really well and the aftertaste is not offensive at all. Very cooling. I would recommend this if you're a green tea lover!

This was a really weird mouthwash. I had tried something similar in Thailand as they are big on green tea stuff over there, however didn't really enjoy this variety. I didn't feel it cleaned my mouth anywhere near as much as the tried and true minty flavours. This variety is alcohol free so this may have had something to do with the lack of 'clean' feel. The flavour was a little too sugary for my likings, especially for a mouthwash. I probably wouldn't buy it again, however it was interesting to try. RESPONSE FROM COLGATE: Hi MelissaFay89, it's Colgate here. We saw your comments about Plax Fresh Tea Mouthwash and are sorry to hear you're not a fan. The taste is due to the tea extract and flavour we use, which is quite different to other mouthwashes in our range. We recommend you try our other Plax Mouthwash varieties which are more traditional with a 'minty' flavour; we can assure you that these alcohol free formulations will help protect against plaque & bacteria whilst providing fresh breath.

This mouth wash is very unique. First the taste is lovely, it is not strong and does not burn your mouth like others, which is great because it means you can swish and swirl it around your mouth for longer. My mouth feels much fresher for longer.

Normally I would put the product preamble at the beginning of my review to provide their direct product marketing (for context). However what I found really scary is that when I ran a search via good old Google, I didn't get the Colgate website, the first hit I received was for the InfoSafe Material Safety Data Sheet. Crazy!

Back to the review...

Context: I received a couple of free samples of this mouthwash on my way to work. I'm a fan of mouthwash, particularly in the office (halitosis, I hate thee). So, the timing was perfect.

My take: This is the most disgusting flavour I have ever come across. I would rather the burning fire that comes with standard Listerine and spew flames from my mouth and nostrils than taste this 'stuff' again. I don't care if that Material Safety Data Sheet says it's at a near neutral pH - it doesn't taste like green tea, nor was it refreshing. Their other minty flavours do their brand justice. I had to brush to get the flavour out, scrape my tongue and rinse repeatedly. It was horrible. RESPONSE FROM COLGATE: Hi TheUglyDuckling, it's Colgate here. We saw your comments about Plax Fresh Tea and are sorry to hear you wouldn't recommend it. Plax Fresh Tea contains tea extract and is intended to provide a refreshing and pleasant flavour, but is quite different to most of our range. We're sorry this mouthwash didn't deliver the results you were looking for, but thank you for your feedback.

I used this bottle so fast... Drank it ..
No minty taste at all. Just a refreshing iced tea flavour.
Won't foam up, like whitening mouthwashes.
Clean teeth feeling ... Great for between meals .

I received a sample bottle of this recently and really liked it! I have always used a mouth wash, but have always found them to be very strong and they tend to burn my mouth and I have just grin and bared it all these years! I am so glad they have bought out his new formula and flavour as it tastes great and still leaves my mouth feeling super clean! I hope to see more alcohol free flavours released from Colgate in the future because I would be very interested in trying them all. :D
