Dentyl Active Mouthwash




When I first popped these mouthwashes into the bathroom, my housemate was pretty excited. She'd heard that you could see Dentyl Active* mouthwashes working in the sink. We quickly had a swig each and was amazed when, even after brushing our teeth, little tiny bits of plaque (that looked like cotton) were left behind in the sink.

There's a lot of scientific information when it comes to these mouthwashes and I'm not all that good with science. But basically they're alcohol free, scientifically proven to reduce plaque levels by 25%, contain three antibacterial agents, kills up to 99.9% of oral bacteria and removes food debris.

Being the only two phase active mouthwash in the UK, you have to shake this mouthwash well before use. There are two stages: a water-based stage that has a special antibacterial agent inside of it and an oil-based solution. Shaking combines the two and creates a solution that's much more powerful than the two individual parts. Bacteria joins up with the mouthwash so when it's rinsed out, you see deposits left in your mouth in the sink.

Pretty fancy right? The reason I loved using this mouthwash so much wasn't because of the whole "yuck, I can see left over food and bacteria coming out of mouth" thing (although it was impressive and fascinating). I loved the fact that this left my breath and mouth feeling ridiculously fresh. It has a lovely minty taste to it and because of this, it's become a welcome addition to my dental hygiene routine.

There are five different variaties of Dentyl Active that you can view and buy here. My favourite is definitely the 'clove' one (which did worry me at first as it reminded me of garlic). They retail for £3.15 and £4.30 each.

What's your favourite mouthwash?

What's On.. My Bathroom Counter?

Soap & Glory Wash Your Hands Of It Hand Wash - £5.00
The hand wash I use is of course a Soap and Glory one but I have decanted it into this hand wash dispenser to match my bathroom. I love this hand wash because it's non-drying and moisturising and of course, it smells incredible which is always a bonus.
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser* - £14.25
My favourite cleanser. It's just perfection. I'm not going to go into too much detail as I've posted about it many times before but it really is the most wonderful cleanser on the market.
Vichy Normaderm Purifying Cleansing Gel - £10.50
Another cleanser that I love. I use this whenever my skin breaks out a little bit but as it's one of my favourites, I also keep it up their with my other 3 favourites.
No7 Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser - £9.00
My daily morning cleanser that although I've had it since its release date and I've used it every day since, never seems to go down so great value for money. It's brightening, mops up oil and smells really fresh and clean.
The Body Shop Facial Brush - £3.00
I don't know why I have this - it's not very good at all. It's scratchy and horrible but I keep it up there because it looks pretty and shabby chic. I wouldn't recommend it though at all - unless you have very dry skin.
Pearl Drops Instant Whitening Toothpolish - £5.10
I don't have perfect teeth and currently, I'm getting them sorted out but anyone who's had them sorted out before knows how lengthy and expensive the process is. So for now, I'm keeping them as white as I possible can. This is a great product. It does make the teeth a little bit sensitive but it makes them look amazing in photos and is a great instant whitening solution.
The Cor Silver Soap* - £35.00
This cleanser is also one that is amazing and I'd say it's up there with the Liz Earle one however, it's very expensive. I don't have much of this left but I use it whenever my skin breaks out badly as it gets rid of bad skin in an instant. It's a miracle worker and a wonder product.
Colgate Max White One Active - £3.99
This is my daily toothpaste and it's another whitening one. Apparently it gets your teeth one shade whiter after just one week but I've only been using this for a few days so I can't really report on it. It does leave them feeling squeaky clean though.
Corsodyl Daily Defence Mouthwash - £4.69
This isn't the nicest mouthwash out there and I do have another in my drawers for when I actually want a nice taste in my mouth. But this really does the job. My gums do bleed quite a bit but since I've started using this they have stopped bleeding which is wonderful.
I do have many different things in my bathroom but this is just what I keep on my mirror counter. What are your bathroom essentials?
