Features of the line

Toothpaste;
concentrating rinse liquid;
air freshener in spray form;
dental floss;
children's toothbrush;
universal brushes.

The complex was tested not only by dentists, but also by representatives of other fields of medicine. Products from the Glister line are often prescribed for the prevention and treatment of nasopharyngeal diseases. The line has a quality mark from the Russian Dental Association. The “Seal of Approval” confirms the safety of the product.

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.

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.

Glister toothpaste: composition

Ingredients: Sorbitol, Aqua, Hydrated silica, Glycerin, Propylene glycol, Sodium lauryl sulfate, Xylitol, Cellulose gum, Peg-8, Aroma, CI 77891, Xanthan gum, Sodium fluoride 0.21% (950 ppm), Sodium saccharin, Methylparaben , Propylparaben, CI 42090.

Translation: sorbitol, water, hydrated silica, glycerin, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, xylitol, cellulose gum, PEG-8, flavors, titanium dioxide (CI 77891), xanthan gum, sodium fluoride 0.21% (950 ppm), saccharin , methylparaben, propylparaben, aniline blue dye (CI 42090).

Glister Amway toothpaste - instructions for use state that you should brush your teeth with it 2 times a day (after breakfast and dinner - in the morning and in the evening). Duration of brushing your teeth is at least 2 minutes, use circular movements to brush your teeth. According to the manufacturer's instructions, the paste is suitable for use in children over 6 years of age, but despite this, our editors do not recommend its use in children under 12 years of age.

The fact is that the enamel of children's teeth (both baby teeth and recently erupted permanent teeth) is low-mineralized and therefore especially sensitive to abrasion. In addition, children very often have white spots on their teeth, which are foci of enamel demineralization (24stoma.ru). In such areas, the enamel has lost a lot of minerals (primarily calcium and phosphates), and therefore these areas of enamel are very fragile and porous, and can be easily injured by strong abrasives.

Analysis of toothpaste composition –

Amway toothpaste has a very prosaic composition. The paste contains a high-quality abrasive and polishing component - hydrated silicon dioxide, and this is certainly good, because... Cheap calcium-containing abrasives have a huge disadvantage (they reduce the amount of active fluoride ions in toothpaste by 15 to 50%). By the way, on the website https://satyen.com/toothpastes.shtml - with reference to the patent data, we learn that the abrasiveness of this paste is RDA 110.

Whitening toothpastes have such a high abrasiveness, which allows them to more effectively scrape off pigmented plaque from the surface of the teeth. But toothpaste with RDA 110 is in no way suitable for constant use (we do not recommend using it for longer than 1-1.5 months). Additionally, this toothpaste is not suitable for use with electric toothbrushes. Next we will move on to analyzing the active components.

Active components – the main anti-caries component contains sodium fluoride 0.21% (this corresponds to the content of 950 ppm active fluoride ions). Studies show that toothpastes with 1000 ppm fluoride have only very weak anti-caries effectiveness, reducing the increase in caries by no more than 25%. With a further increase in fluoride content for every 500 ppm, the anti-caries effect increases by approximately 6% (when compared with a paste with 1000 ppm fluorine). Thus, the anti-caries effect of this toothpaste is very weak.

The standard fluoride concentration for the prevention of caries in adults is considered to be 1400-1450 ppm, and this concentration protects well against caries only for patients with very good oral hygiene (brushing teeth 2-3 times a day, + using dental floss after each meal). If you do not use dental floss, if you do not regularly brush your teeth, if you consume carbohydrates (snacks, flour, sugary drinks) between meals, then a toothpaste with 1450 ppm fluoride will not be able to protect you from dental caries.

Glister toothpaste also contains xylitol, which is not bad. However, judging by the location of the ingredients in the composition, the xylitol content will be the same or even less - compared to the content of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). The legally permitted concentration of SLS in the United States is 2% or lower, and xylitol in Glister toothpaste comes immediately after SLS. A really good concentration of xylitol in toothpaste can be considered 10-12%, but not 2%.

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.

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.

Key Features and Benefits

Huge economic benefit, one bottle will last for 6-12 months. Considering that the shelf life of the rinse aid is 3 years, and if you do not use it often, it may last you for a long period.

pros

The positive effects of this product include:

Has effective properties;
Has a pleasant minty smell;
Convenient to store and use.

Minuses

What I didn't like was:

Nothing is said about the product being hypoallergenic;
Intolerance to the smell of menthol or alcohol-containing substances.

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.

Must take: very smart toothbrush Glister Smart Sonic

The superpower of this gadget is that it not only helps to effectively clean, whiten, polish and carefully care for, including sensitive teeth and gums. It TEACHES how to brush your teeth correctly, monitors the quality of brushing in real time and HELPES correct mistakes.

And this is how it works:

— the Glister Smart Sonic brush has 5 cleaning modes for different needs;

— it carries out up to 35,000 movements per minute;

— owners of the brush have access to an application that allows them to control the quality and duration of teeth brushing;

— there is a built-in timer for cleaning duration;

— the nozzle replacement indicator signals its wear;

— the brush is reliably protected from water getting inside (high level of water protection IPX7);

— works up to 4 weeks without recharging.

You can brush your teeth using one of the five modes mentioned above:

Clean - Cleaning

In this mode, the brush makes 34,800 movements per minute. It effectively removes food debris and plaque, prevents the formation of caries and helps restore the natural shade of teeth.

White - Whitening

In this mode, the brush removes tobacco, coffee and other stains from tooth enamel.

Polish - Polishing

This mode allows you to give your smile exceptional shine and your teeth smoothness.

Soft - Delicate cleaning

The brush gently removes plaque, not only cleaning your teeth, but also caring for your gums. Suitable for people with sensitive teeth and gums.

Sensitive - Increased sensitivity

Moving slowly (28,200 strokes per minute), the brush gently cares for sensitive gums and tooth enamel.

But the main assistant in the fight for the perfect smile will be the Glister Smart mobile application. By synchronizing with an electric brush, it helps to monitor the quality of your teeth cleaning and improve the results achieved day after day. After entering data about the condition of your teeth, the degree of their whiteness, bad habits and eating preferences, the application gives individual recommendations for brushing your teeth and helps you choose one of 5 brush operating modes. Using the application, you can set the desired duration of brushing your teeth - from 1.5 to 3 minutes.

In addition, during the cleaning process, Glister Smart determines the position of the toothbrush and shows which part of the oral cavity needs to be cleaned and how. The app also alerts you which areas have been missed and need additional cleaning.

Dentists recommend changing the head of your electric brush every three months—the mobile app will definitely remind you of this. Additionally, the row of bright blue bristles in the center of the head will change color and turn pale after 3 months.

However, we should not forget that oral care should be comprehensive. For better results, you can use Glister oral care products together with an electric brush: toothpaste, dental floss and concentrated mouthwash.
