Chlorhexidine digluconate acts rapidly, killing the bacteria that cause plaque in just 30 seconds2,3

Chlorhexidine digluconate is an antibacterial ingredient that fatally damages bacterial cell walls in just 30 seconds. It forms a protective layer over the gums and teeth, helping to prevent plaque build-up for up to 12 hours.2
