Glister is a premium toothpaste from the Amway corporation.
I have been using this paste since 2005, and I have never felt to replace it with others due to its consistency in quality and effectiveness.
If you are interested in premium toothpaste with a pleasant feeling, you will like glister.
Unlike other kinds of toothpaste, it is not harsh on the teeth’ enamel, and further, it helps promote enamel growth.
If you are suffering from tooth pain, I would suggest you try glister toothpaste once.
My Review of Glister Toothpaste
Glister toothpaste comes in two flavors as
- Multi-action toothpaste (regular)
- Herbal toothpaste (new one)
The first one, a regular one, was present for many decades, but the herbal one is a recent addition.
If one has sensitive teeth, he can opt for an herbal formulation.
But for regular brushing, multi-action toothpaste is better.
Unlike other toothpaste, it is made from a natural material.
There is no use of bones or other stuff from the animals. Hence, a green symbol is indicated on the paste.
They use fine silica or sand particles for the cleansing action, while other toothpaste brands use animal bone powder due to cost factors.
The toothpaste does not foam much, filling your mouth to cause inconvenience.
A small grain of glister toothpaste, i.e., the size of a red gram, is enough for an adult mouth cleansing.
It foams sufficiently and cleans effectively. Once cleaned, you can sense the teeth or very smooth and gliding.
There would be no bad odor or excess flavor after brushing.
It uses carefully tested material, so there is no damage to the teeth’ enamel.
However, one should brush only after a half-hour or more of having food to avoid damage to enamel due to brushing.

How to use glister paste
One should brush twice daily or after every meal for better results.
Use a paste of peanut size for a single brushing.
If one has a sensitive tooth, it is better to use herbal lister paste for relief.
Once the tube is completed, try to replace it with the same paste as soon as possible as you may not get the same results with other pastes.
Glister toothpaste side effects
I have been using it for a long time and have never seen any side effects.
Also, any substance can show side effects at high doses, and glister can be used in low quantities, unlike other pastes.
So, based on the product quality quantity used, there are no side effects for this paste.
