Glister toothpaste is an oral hygiene product from the American company Amway, which has increased abrasiveness, which allows this toothpaste to be classified as a teeth whitening product. The manufacturer’s website states that Glister toothpaste also has both anticaries and remineralizing effects (however, the latter will require clarification).
You can buy Amway toothpaste on Ozon, Yandex.Market, the official Amway website, as well as from company representatives (network marketing sellers). In this article we will analyze the composition of Glister toothpaste, but looking ahead, we will say right away that this is a product with a very prosaic composition. The paste contains a fairly high-quality silicon abrasive, and among the components with anticaries effect - nothing except low dosages of sodium fluoride and xylitol.
Amway toothpaste (Glister® brand) –
For Glister Amway toothpaste, the price will be 480 rubles per 150 ml (200 g) tube. But if you register on the official Amway website, the price will be only 408 rubles. A small tube of 50 ml (65 g) will cost 220 or 187 rubles, respectively. It must be said that the composition of this toothpaste has changed little over the past few decades.
Features of the line
Amway has been producing health and beauty products for 50 years. A recent update was the oral hygiene line. Glister is a brand of products for daily oral and dental care, which has a significant preventive effect. Amway products can prevent diseases of the mouth, teeth, and gums.

How to choose a smart toothbrush
Smart toothbrushes are just beginning to gain popularity in the domestic smart technology market. Therefore, many users simply do not have enough knowledge to choose a truly high-quality and effective model. Based on expert opinion, below are the selection criteria that we recommend you pay attention to when purchasing a smart brush.
Equipment
Expert opinion
Yakovlev Alexey Sergeevich
Electrician with 20 years of experience and extensive experience
If you are purchasing a brush for a large family, it is better to choose a model with a large set of attachments. In this case, you should pay attention to the stiffness of the bristles. For users with more sensitive gums, only soft heads are suitable. Also, such elements will be useful for cleaning thin enamel or implants with decorative coating. As for people who smoke, brushes with stiff bristles are more suitable for them.
Sound and light indication
Many models contain special sensors that are triggered if the brush is pressed strongly against the tooth surface. Then a special light on the device will light up or a sound signal will sound. Thanks to this function, the user can learn to use the most delicate cleaning possible.
Timer
The timer allows you to set the optimal time for treating the tooth surface. First of all, you need to learn how to calculate duration.
The user must take sufficient time to remove all plaque from the teeth. However, you should not resort to excessive loads, as this approach negatively affects the condition of the enamel.
Display
It is recommended to choose toothbrushes with a built-in LCD display. In this case, the user does not have to constantly turn on the application on the smartphone and view information about the oral cavity. All information will be displayed on the brush screen.
Speed switching
Most smart brushes have the ability to switch operating speeds - sonic and ultrasonic modes. The first option is suitable for minor contamination of the tooth surface. As for the ultrasonic mode, it is better to use it to remove bacteria and polish teeth.
Battery capacity
Expert opinion
Yakovlev Alexey Sergeevich
Electrician with 20 years of experience and extensive experience
Long-term battery life directly depends on the price class to which the toothbrush belongs. It is recommended to choose models with a battery capacity that lasts at least 10 working days. It is also important to have an indicator of the remaining energy level.
Number of operating modes
For a large family, it is better to choose a device with 3 or more modes for treating the dental surface. For example, super soft is ideal for children. Users with sensitive gums will benefit from the gentle mode.
Manufacturer
First of all, I would like to draw your attention to the Oral-B company, which specializes in the manufacture of high-quality toothbrushes. In addition, the manufacturer produces smart models for both adults and children. It is also worth paying tribute to the quality of Xiaomi and Philips products.
Glister Rinse Liquid
The line includes a special mouthwash. It is sold in 50 ml bottles. Like most Amway products, the liquid is a concentrate. The mouthwash is a thick, dark green liquid. It has a pronounced menthol smell and contains a small amount of alcohol. To prepare the solution, you need to spray the liquid into the cap and dilute with water.
It is worth noting that the product is economical: the bottle is enough for one hundred rinses (6 liters of solution). You can take the jar on the road or to work, because it is equipped with a dispenser and a measuring cup-cap. It is recommended to use the liquid twice a day immediately after brushing your teeth.
The therapeutic effect of Amway products has been proven in practical medicine, so the mouthwash is prescribed not only for prevention purposes, but also for the treatment of diseases of the mouth and teeth.
Rinse liquid is recommended for the following conditions:
- initial stage of caries;
- inflammation of the gums;
- plaque;
- damage to the mucosa;
- halitosis (bad breath).
Contraindications:
- critical thinning of enamel;
- violation of the integrity of the enamel;
- mucosal erosion;
- hyperesthesia (tooth sensitivity);
- age up to 12 years;
- individual sensitivity to components.
The rinse solution from the Glister line is even more effective in combating plaque than toothpaste. There is a significant medicinal effect: the liquid has helped many people relieve the symptoms of periodontal disease. After rinsing, a persistent pleasant taste remains in the mouth. Fresh breath lasts all day.
Composition of the solution
- Poloxamer-407. One of the few substances that can destroy hard dental plaque.
- Cetylpyridinium chloride. Powerful anti-inflammatory, antiseptic effect. Thanks to it, the solution is able to destroy pathogenic microflora.
- Glycerin ensures the creation of an invisible protective film on the teeth.
- Ethyl alcohol enhances the effects of other components and promotes their instant penetration into tissues.
- Polysorbate-20. An emulsifier that gives a light cleansing effect.
- Saccharin is used to improve taste.
- Menthol is refreshing and has a slight anesthetic effect.
For prevention, the liquid is used twice a day. Morning and evening brushing of teeth, supplemented by rinsing the mouth, meet all hygiene requirements. Such solutions are widely used in dentistry, gynecology and other areas of medicine. Dentists recommend rinse for the treatment of periodontal disease, gingivitis, caries and scurvy.
The components of the product are of plant origin. The solution contains antiseptic additives and is therefore capable of destroying harmful microorganisms. Brushing your teeth, supplemented by rinsing, will be many times more effective. Products from the Glister line help reduce bleeding gums, break down tartar, and plaque.
The exceptional effectiveness of the rinse aid in the fight against caries is noted. The Russian Dental Association distinguishes Glister mouthwash among others. This proves the effectiveness and safety of Amway products.
Benefits of liquid
- Strengthening oral and dental health. After just a month of using the product, you can notice its anti-inflammatory effect.
- Breakdown of dental plaque. It is noteworthy that Glister liquid copes with this task faster than its analogues.
- Solution concentration. Thanks to the richness of the product, it lasts for a long time.
- Fresh breath. They note the persistence of a pleasant odor in the mouth even with severe halitosis.
- Quick impact. The effect of the drug is noted already during the first rinse.
- Depth of impact. The active components of the solution can penetrate deep into the tissue and strengthen dentin.
- Loosening of dental stones. The influence of the active components of the liquid contributes to the destruction of solid deposits, as well as their careful removal without damaging the enamel.
- Accelerated recovery. Promotes the regeneration of damaged areas of the mucosa.
How to use
For rinsing, the liquid obtained from five injections is enough, but it is recommended to start with one. This will allow you to notice side effects and stop using the product if necessary. There is a mark on the measuring cup that shows the required amount of water. Reducing or increasing the dose will reduce the effectiveness of the rinse aid. The rinsing procedure should take a minute. The product should not be swallowed.
With regular use, you can notice the following results:
- disappearance of hard plaque;
- no recurrence of inflammation;
- persistent fresh breath;
- comfortable feeling in the mouth throughout the day.
The indisputable advantage of the design is the ability to dose the product.
Compound
Let's take a closer look at the composition:
- Water is the basis;
- Glycerin is a moisture-retaining additive;
- Flavoring – adds taste and aroma;
- Polysorbate 20 is an emulsifier;
- Poloxamer is a mild surfactant approved for contact with mucous membranes;
- Denatured alcohol - helps other components mix, has antiseptic properties;
- Sodium saccharin is an artificial sweetener (does not cause caries);
- Cetylpyridinium chloride is an antiseptic and has a wide antibacterial spectrum;
- Dyes cl 42090 and cl 47005 - adds color to the rinse aid.
Specialized testing of the composition
The product is supplied in a good, high-quality cardboard box.
The weight of the product with packaging and volume of the product is 50 mg.
Can be used by children aged 6+, at least as stated on the official website.
External packaging description:
- Package width: 4 cm
- Package height: 10 cm
- Packing depth: 3 cm
Due to its small size, the rinse aid can be placed somewhere in the bathroom, even in a box, and it will definitely not get in the way.
General shelf life: 3 years, and it is produced not somewhere in China, but in the USA.
The cost of Glister Amway concentrated mouthwash varies on many websites; you can buy or order it wherever you want and however you like. I ordered from the Amway catalog and paid 705 rubles, the same price is indicated on the website. You can only purchase on the official Amway website or order from the catalog. It will be easier and better this way.
There are many different products for oral care, for example from the manufacturer Glister:
- Toothpaste with fluoride 150ml;
- Oral freshener spray 12 mg / 9 g ;
- Dental floss 30 m;
- Universal toothbrushes;
- An electric toothbrush.
I recommend it for use for the whole family!

Glister toothpaste
Among a huge number of different products, this paste stands out due to its unique gentle effectiveness. Glister toothpaste is a concentrate, so a small volume (literally half a pea) is enough for one teeth cleaning.
Some people report good results when brushing their teeth with a dry brush. The composition of the paste is selected so as to eliminate the need to wet the brush and rinse your mouth. It takes 3-5 minutes to completely clean all teeth.
The company produces only two versions of toothpaste, which differ only in size. For everyday use there is a tube of 200 g, and for travel there is a compact package of 75 g. Many people are dissatisfied with the modest choice, because Amway produces only one flavor of toothpaste, but this allows you to carefully and efficiently develop the product without wasting money on analogues.
Glister toothpaste does not contain components that can destroy enamel, in particular calcium carbonate and bicarbonate. However, this does not mean that the product has no effect on the teeth. The polishing effect is visible even after the first use.
Paste composition
- Water;
- sorbitol;
- silica;
- glycerol;
- propylene glycol;
- sodium lauryl sulfate;
- xylitol;
- carboxymethylcellulose;
- PEG-8;
- xanthan gum;
- sodium fluoride;
- saccharin;
- methylparaben;
- propylparaben.
The advantage of Amway paste is gentle but effective cleansing, while analogues provoke cracking of the enamel. For the first two months, tooth enamel will actively absorb the components of the paste, so during this period sensitivity to cold and hot may appear.
If you use half a pea of paste, one tube is enough for one person for a whole year. But many doubt the effectiveness of cleansing with such a small amount of product, so they use more than just enhance the already pronounced effect on the teeth.
Amway specialists recommend using Glister paste in combination with their brushes. The paste does not destroy dental tissue, but rather strengthens them and maintains healthy gums.
Few oral care products can effectively remove even mild bacterial plaque. Glister toothpaste destroys tartar. The toothpaste itself does not erase the enamel, but if you regularly clean your teeth immediately after eating, you can damage their coating. Experts allow you to rinse your mouth and brush your teeth half an hour after eating.
Pasta capabilities
- removing soft plaque;
- destruction of dental stones;
- strengthening enamel;
- removing stains from tobacco and coloring drinks;
- teeth whitening;
- freshening breath;
- prevention of inflammation;
- relief of toothache.
Glister toothpaste is considered universal. It is suitable for those who want to whiten their teeth and who need protection against caries. In terms of effectiveness and composition, Glister toothpaste is equal to a kilogram of regular product, so the high cost of the product is completely justified.
Since the product is concentrated and used in small doses, one tube of paste can last almost a whole year. To realize the scale of the savings, it is enough to remember the number of pastes that you buy over the course of twelve months.
Harmful components in Amway toothpaste –
The paste contains sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), several paraben options, and titanium dioxide. Let's figure out how harmful all this is.
- Sodium lauryl sulfate (foaming agent) - scientific studies show that the use of toothpaste without SLS (compared to the use of SLS-containing toothpastes) statistically significantly reduced the risk of developing aphthous stomatitis. In the absence of SLS in the toothpaste, the number of repeated episodes of aphthous stomatitis decreased, and if stomatitis did occur, the number of ulcers on the mucous membrane was less, the pain syndrome was less pronounced, and the ulcers themselves healed faster.
But this does not mean that SLS is the cause of the development of aphthous stomatitis. Lauryl sulfate simply tends to increase desquamation (desquamation) of the mucosal epithelium. This reduces the thickness of the mucous membrane and makes it more sensitive to damaging factors - allergens and bacterial antigens, which are the cause of the development of aphthae. But if you do not have a predisposition to stomatitis, then the absence or presence of SLS should not bother you in any way.By the way, SLS is a surfactant, and it can only enter the body when swallowing toothpaste, as well as through food (it is actually found in some products, and it is safe). On various forums you can hear hysteria about the carcinogenicity and organ toxicity of SLS, that lauryl sulfate penetrates the bloodstream and causes damage to the liver, lungs and brain. As evidence, they cite the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) report, which allegedly states this.
However, the authors of this report themselves say that their data is misinterpreted by various bloggers (source). In general, do not be fooled by shocking content on the Internet, because... many bloggers use such scandalous content in order to attract audiences to their resources. Follow the link above - you can familiarize yourself with one of the authoritative studies on this topic using a browser translator.
- Parabens (preservatives) – Amway toothpaste contains methylparaben and propylparaben. Studies show that these preservatives can cause allergic reactions in the oral mucosa - in less than 4% of people. Parabens are not absorbed through the oral mucosa, i.e. all manifestations of allergies usually occur only on the oral mucosa. Parabens enter the body only through the skin or gastrointestinal tract (for example, you swallowed toothpaste).
There is a lot of shocking content on the Internet that claims that parabens can disrupt the endocrine system by exhibiting estrogenic activity. I studied at a good medical school, and in fact I am amused by such “conspiracy theories”, which undoubtedly arise from incompetence. Many scientific studies show that parabens with a small molecular size (methylparaben) do not exhibit estrogenic activity at all.Parabens with large molecular sizes (for example, isobutylparaben) have indeed been found to have estrogenic activity in a number of studies, but it is 240,000 times less than that of estradiol, which is the most active female sex hormone from the group of “estrogens”. Therefore, the possible estrogenic activity of even propylparaben will be at least thousands of times lower when compared with estradiol. Therefore, the harm from parabens is certainly exaggerated, but nevertheless, it will be better for children if the paste does not contain them (if only because they sometimes cause allergic reactions).
- Titanium dioxide (dye) – Amway toothpaste contains titanium dioxide dye. In toothpaste it is designated as “CI 77891”, but if it is contained in food products it is designated as “E171”. Titanium dioxide is a white powder and, accordingly, it will give the toothpaste a beautiful white color. The powder consists mainly of nanosized particles (i.e. up to 100 nanometers). Micro-sized titanium dioxide particles are completely harmless, but nanoparticles, due to their size, can have very unexpected effects. National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM, the Netherlands) - conducted research into the potential health risks associated with exposure to titanium dioxide. RIVM estimated the amount of titanium dioxide nanoparticles that the average person consumes daily through food, dietary supplements and toothpaste.
The foods that most contribute to titanium dioxide intake are toothpaste (for young children only), candy, coffee creamer, baked goods and sauces. Please note that the content of titanium dioxide is undesirable only in children's toothpastes (for children under 6 years of age). This is due to the fact that young children have an undeveloped swallowing reflex, and therefore they can swallow a certain amount of toothpaste. By the way, titanium dioxide has very low bioavailability, i.e. it is very poorly absorbed from the intestinal lumen.Scientists have discovered that titanium dioxide nanoparticles can accumulate in the liver and spleen. According to RIVM, the concentration of titanium dioxide particles found in the human liver did not lead to health effects in laboratory animals in experiments. To date, these particles have not been proven to cause adverse effects, but it cannot be ruled out that the use of titanium dioxide may cause adverse effects on the liver. However, it was stated that there are no health consequences due to the accumulation of titanium dioxide in the spleen.
The conclusion of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) commission regarding titanium dioxide is as follows: “EFSA concludes that, based on currently available information, the consumption of titanium dioxide should not be of concern. For manufacturers in the EU, recommendations were given that nanoparticles of titanium dioxide should constitute no more than 50% (of the total number of titanium dioxide particles in a particular product). However, EFSA recognizes the need for further research on this issue.”
Conclusions: For adults, toothpaste with titanium dioxide is completely harmless, unless, of course, you intend to swallow it on purpose. But for children under 6 years old, toothpastes with titanium dioxide are one of the main sources of its intake into the body. Currently, there is UNCERTAINTY in understanding the safety/negative effects of titanium dioxide particles. Therefore, it is worth being a little wary until this issue is clarified.
Refreshing spray
Calorie-free spray Glister has a mint flavor with menthol. The principle of its action is similar to tonics and means for masking alcohol intoxication.
Composition of the freshener spray:
- alcohol denatured alcohol;
- water;
- glycerol;
- flavorings;
- isobutane;
- saccharin;
- menthol.
The spray effectively combats bad breath in cases of liver dysfunction. One injection is enough to normalize the acid-base balance and destroy most bacteria. One bottle of Glister spray can replace 50 packs of chewing gum.
We must not forget about the therapeutic effect of the drug. It is often prescribed as an additional treatment for laryngitis, sore throat and throat discomfort. In some cases, the spray can stop a sore throat at the initial stage and instantly relieve pain. The product is recommended for sore throats in children, since it does not contain antibiotics.
During the cold season, the spray helps maintain the health of the vocal cords. It effectively relieves tension from the throat and softens the negative effects of transitional seasonal phenomena.
How to use
The method of use is very simple, just spray 2-3 times from the bottle into the measuring cap, then add plain water. The result is a liquid that you use to rinse your mouth. Can be used as a gargle for a sore throat or to prevent a viral infection.
It has helped me more than once with pain or a sore throat; after rinsing it felt much better. With the help of concentrated liquid, you can easily get rid of bad symptoms. It disinfects the oral cavity, killing all pathogenic bacteria, and leaves behind a feeling of freshness, cleanliness and a minty smell.
Dental floss
Most people prefer to limit themselves to brushing, but dental floss can penetrate hard-to-reach places and make oral hygiene complete. Any dentist will confirm that only an integrated approach ensures healthy teeth and gums. The Amway line has a unique floss in stock.
Flossing daily prevents tartar buildup more effectively than brushing. Floss cleans the interdental spaces, the space between braces and dentures. The main advantage of dental floss is safety. Floss does not injure the enamel and gums, but if the thread breaks, the mucous membrane may be damaged. Floss from Amway has a pleasant mint taste that easily freshens breath.
Advantages of Glister dental floss:
- simplicity, convenience;
- complete cleansing;
- access to interdental space;
- safety;
- antibacterial.
Usually people experience difficulties only when flossing for the first time. One procedure requires 40 cm of thread. Its ends are wound around the fingers so that it is between the index and thumb. The floss is carefully inserted into the interdental space, moving back and forth, wrapping the floss around the tooth. As you go, you need to change the angle to capture all the deposits. Near the gums you should act carefully.

Review:
About 8 years ago, my mother became involved with Amway, as a result of which we began to try many of these products. From powders, and actually to this rinse aid. At first, we had it as unnecessary, we rarely rinsed our mouths with it and it seemed that it was basically no different from other mouthwashes. It has such a sharp smell, a pleasant herbal taste, and to rinse, you only need a couple of drops of rinse aid per glass.
Over time, my mother began to use it for burns, pain in the mouth, throat, and by the way, it helped. At that moment I was struggling with teenage rashes, I smeared it on an inflamed pimple at night and in the morning there was no more inflammation.
And one day I fell ill with a purulent sore throat. The doctor prescribed me to smear the purulent place in my throat with Lugol. My mother applied it to me and she couldn’t do it more than once; the action was not pleasant. I had a sore throat for a couple of weeks, it didn’t go away, they even wanted to put me in an infectious disease unit, and then my mother decided to try glister. And you won’t believe it, my purulent sore throat went away in literally 3-4 days!!!
Now glister is an indispensable thing in our home. I recommend!

My boyfriend once brought this liquid and said that he was simply delighted with it. I’m somehow indifferent to such things, but I decided to try. I liked the bottle itself, so green and fashionable))) It includes a measuring cup into which you spray the product and dilute it with water to the mark. In general, in principle, it is surprising that you need to spray the mouthwash rather than pour it. The taste is quite pleasant, minty, and very refreshing. But, the main thing is not to overdo it with the product itself, it is concentrated, and pour no less water than up to the mark, otherwise it will burn a little. And once I rinsed my mouth when I had stomatitis, and I was amazed by the effect, the pain subsided for a while, it became easier))) So, it’s a fairly universal remedy, it will refresh you and relieve the pain)))

Today we will talk about one important topic - how to take care of your mouth and teeth. For this purpose, I have long chosen Amway Glister mouthwash. It all started when my mother bought it two or three years ago. At first I was skeptical, then I tried it and began to use it often. But I really appreciated it when an abscess popped up on my gum. And I am afraid of tooth-cutters worse than death. I endured and endured and decided that I would try to pierce it with a needle. If it doesn’t hurt, I’ll go to the dentist... I pierced this abomination, the pus came out. I rinsed with soda, and then it dawned on me and I started rinsing with Glister. On day 2 I pierced it again and both days with glister, glister. In general, I cured everything with glister, a needle, which I boiled in boiling water for half the night and without any dental treatment. I am very grateful to Glister for saving me from any infections and infections! This is what our bottle looks like. We see that the liquid is green in color. As usual, a very convenient dispenser, that is, you won’t spill it, splash it, or accidentally pour out half the bottle) And we’ll talk about the cap separately. Look how charming this gray cap is! I usually spray liquid into this cap once or twice and pour water into the same cap. This is very convenient, no need to dirty the dishes. After using this oral fluid, I always have a pleasant feeling of freshness in my mouth and it smells nice. I highly recommend it!

Glister mouthwash from the famous Amway brand was recommended to me by a friend. The liquid turned out to be, frankly, not cheap, 560 rubles, the volume is only 50 ml, but I still decided to try it. The liquid turned out to be concentrated and is consumed quite economically. The bottle has a convenient dispenser that allows you to measure the required amount for one rinse, and a measuring cup was also included. You need five drops to rinse your mouth once. The liquid has a pleasant green color, mint smell, liquid consistency, and tastes a little sweet. After use, you feel incredible freshness, the acid-base balance is immediately normalized.

I would like to share my impression of a good oral product from Amway. I have been familiar with this tool for a long time. A work colleague recommended it to me for rinsing my gums. I have frequent problems with my gums, bleeding, pain, so I decided to purchase. The price for the rinse aid is not cheap, but I still bought it. And since then, this mouthwash and I have been friends. Very economical and efficient. The composition is not particularly clear to me, but I still found the alcohol content. Convenient dispenser. Therefore, you should not use this product every day, as it can cause irritation and dryness of the mucous membranes, as that’s what happened to me.

Good day to all!!! A few years ago, I was looking for the perfect product for brushing my teeth and rinsing my mouth. And you know, I found him. This is a universal product Glister from the Amway brand. 50 ml bottle, green liquid, we call it brilliant green as it really resembles brilliant brilliant green. This is a very good product, an extract from herbs, concentrated and lasts a long time. Gives off a fresh and very minty taste. The bottle is glass, with a spray dispenser on top and a cap, very convenient to use. I use it not only for rinsing my mouth, but also for brushing my teeth. I wet my toothbrush, spray it directly onto the toothbrush once, and brush my teeth. After it, your teeth are clean, and your mouth remains fresh and minty for a long time. And also, when I have a runny nose, I dilute it with water and rinse my nose. A very good and versatile product. Expensive, but worth it and lasts a long time.

I bought mouthwash from Amway once or twice a few years ago. I liked the product, but it is very concentrated and thermonuclear). But it is wonderfully refreshing. Packaging volume 50 ml. Transparent bottle with dispenser and measuring cup. The liquid is a rich dark green color. The manufacturer assures that the product prevents periodontal disease, removes plaque and freshens breath. I can’t say anything about periodontal disease, it hasn’t appeared, it’s probably preventing it) (I’m kidding, of course), to effectively remove plaque, you still need to brush your teeth; without brushing, plaque removal is mediocre, or even questionable. But the breath is very refreshing and this effect of freshness lasts for quite a long time, definitely enough for an hour. Therefore, I recommend it to anyone who is expecting a kiss in the next hour). You need to use it like this: pour 5 drops of liquid into the measuring cap and fill with water up to the mark. After this, rinse your mouth with the prepared liquid. The taste is very, very strong, rich, vigorous mint. And even more so if you take into account the fact that I usually made my own rinse solution by eye. If you overdo it, it turns out even more thermonuclear. The product is economical if used correctly. I didn’t count the exact number of times, but the manufacturer assures that 1 bottle is enough for 100 times. I read in other reviews that people use it for a year or more, which means it’s really economical. Some people also manage to treat sore throats, sinusitis, and the like with this remedy. I haven't tried it, but the reviews are impressive. I recommend it as a healthy breath freshener, this product is wonderful and strong. Well, it’s definitely economical if you use it according to the instructions. Everything else promised by the manufacturer is in question. Other reviews about Amway products:
Amway “Glister” toothpaste – Not bad, but not a favorite
Amway “SA 8 Premium” washing powder - Not bad, but it doesn’t last for a year, as they say, and it’s not so fabulous
Amway DishDrops dishwashing liquid - Doesn’t wash better than its own kind, cost-effectiveness is a big question

Why, why, when buying an Amway product, does everyone expect something impossible from it, just some kind of miracle? I don't understand, is it because of the price? Why use mouth rinse as nasal drops or vaginal rinse?!! Expecting a miracle and not receiving it, of course, you will be disappointed in the product. And how many horror stories I have read here about damaged tooth enamel, burnt mucous membranes, untreated periodontal disease. I'm just amazed.
I bought this product for my husband - he really loves all kinds of mouth rinses. I was immediately warned that the product was powerful and it was better to dilute not five sprays, as written in the instructions, but three. In the evening I went first to test it. I diluted 5 sprays for the purity of the experiment. Wow! Wow! The tongue is on fire! Eyes on the forehead! But under the influence of menthol, my nose immediately began to breathe easily (I have sinusitis). Then the husband went to the bathroom. He soon ran out and asked how much I had bought and recommended stocking up. I don’t know how he diluted the product; I never asked. And for three and a half months now we have been rinsing our mouths with this product - it is wonderfully refreshing and invigorating. When I have a stuffy nose in the morning, I dilute five drops to ease breathing and, sorry, mucus removal, but more often, still, three. But I have never once inserted a bottle with the product into my nose, gargled a sore throat, or used it for gynecological purposes. Why, to burn the mucous membrane? The manufacturer did not promise anything other than fresh breath. I don’t know about the plaque, I always use it after toothpaste, I no longer have it by the time I rinse. Yes, the price of the product is considerable. But it will be enough for the two of us for 4 months. So I see no reason to scold this product and accuse it of not meeting its stated qualities. And, since I didn’t expect a miracle, I wasn’t disappointed and I don’t find any downsides. By the way, another plus for me is that the product is bottled in a glass bottle. For me, glass = quality, because glass is chemically neutral and does not have any effect on the product.

I take great care of my teeth and oral cavity, not because everything is bad, but because these are normal everyday procedures for maintaining dental health. I usually buy Listerine or Colgate Plax mouthwash, but while visiting my parents, my mother bought me a mouthwash from her favorite company, Amway Glister . Since I had some problems with my teeth and gums, she was advised to buy me this mouthwash, because it is intended for use as a course by people who have problems with their gums.
Since I don’t really like this company because of their discrepancy between price and quality, I don’t buy their products, but my mother has already gotten involved in shopping and periodically buys something from them.
This mouthwash is available in a small, completely transparent glass bottle, with brief information about the place of production and composition in green letters. To be honest, it’s impossible to read, because the rinse aid itself is green and the information is written in green letters.
The bottle has a dispenser in the form of a spray. Quite convenient, it looks like a travel version of a mouth freshener.
The rinse itself has a rich green color, I would say a shade of grass.
The taste is very similar to mint tincture, a little with the addition of menthol. Not a nasty mouthwash, I like it. It freshens your breath not for the whole day, but still for a long time. My husband smokes and it didn’t really help him get rid of the smell of tobacco, it just freshened him up a bit, so it’s not for smokers.
It is concentrated and I used it simply by adding it to water; for this, a measuring cup comes with the concentrate. It seems very convenient to me, but the main thing is not to overdo it with the dosage, otherwise it will burn. Used economically.
I started using this mouthwash after visiting the dentist and undergoing some procedures that slightly damaged my gums:
Removal of an ill-fated wisdom tooth
There are no hopeless situations in dental treatment
Honestly, I didn’t think that this rinse could help me treat my gums, but I noticed that after using it, my gums became less sensitive, stopped bleeding, and the healing of my gums was painless and good. I also liked that this rinse kills the unpleasant odor of medicines in the mouth, I’m talking about medicines used in dentistry, otherwise before I could actually feel the taste.
The manufacturer recommends using this rinse for a course of no more than 2 weeks. I took this advice and used it for exactly two weeks; after a while I will do another two-week course.
Conclusions:
This is the only product from this manufacturer that I really liked. Overall a really good mouthwash.
Price - 165 hryvnia (430 rubles)

Toothbrushes for adults and children
At first glance, the Glister toothbrush is no different from hundreds of others. The fibers are made from semi-synthetic bristles and piles, with each hair including proteins and biopolymers. The bristles for the brushes are soldered using gene welding technology.
The set contains four brushes of different colors. Stains on the bristles and handle help monitor the condition of your teeth. Initially, the spots have a standard size and color, but as you use the brush, they can decrease or increase, lighten or darken.
The growth of the spot signals the development of the disease and the need to increase the amount of paste. Reduction of the spot indicates the effectiveness of the prevention. An unchanged spot indicates no changes. Lightening the stain until it completely disappears is a reason to change your toothbrush. If lightening occurs very quickly, you need to urgently make an appointment with a dentist. There may be serious violations.
Glister toothbrushes have been tested for strength and safety. The bristles are securely soldered into the frame, which prevents them from falling out and getting into the dental canals and salivary gland ducts. Amway products are optimal in terms of rigidity.
Children's brushes are designed for baby teeth. They help to take good care of your child's teeth, and the soft rounded bristles provide gentle, effective cleansing of the oral cavity. The wide handle of the brush fits well in the baby's palm.
Regular purchase of low-quality toothpastes ends up being more expensive than one tube of Amway, and Glister mouthwash can replace up to five bottles of regular solution. The Amway company offers a complete hygiene complex designed for teeth, gums, and oral mucosa.

Types of smart toothbrushes
All smart toothbrushes differ in both design and functional qualities. Firstly, it is worth noting the trajectory of the cleaning part. This can be circular or reciprocating movements. Any moving element is driven by a small electric motor.
Secondly, smart brushes differ in vibration intensity and rotation speed. At the moment there are several types:
Sound. A more affordable option, characterized by a rather loud buzzing electric motor. The operating frequency of the devices in question is 200-400 Hz. Consequently, the rotation speed will reach up to 48,000 rpm;
Ultrasonic. The key feature is quiet operation. It is worth noting that thanks to the rotation speed of 190,000 rpm, the processing head copes much better with polishing enamel, as well as removing plaque.
