Why Choose Aquafresh
Complete, Multi-Action Protection
Aquafresh Active Toothpaste is formulated to fight cavities, plaque at the gum line, bacteria, stains, bad breath and acid attack, a genuinely comprehensive daily formula rather than a single-focus toothpaste.
Kills 99% of Bad Breath Bacteria
Aquafresh's active mineral formulation targets the bacteria responsible for bad breath directly, in lab-tested conditions, a meaningful everyday benefit for anyone focused on fresh breath confidence.
Strengthens Enamel, Even After Brushing
With twice-daily use, Aquafresh continues strengthening tooth enamel beyond the brushing moment itself, an ongoing protective effect rather than one that stops the moment you rinse.
Trusted Family-Friendly Formula
Aquafresh's fresh minty flavour and complete protection profile has made it a long-standing family favourite, a toothpaste that works for the whole household without compromise.
Backed by Haleon's Healthcare Expertise
As part of the Haleon group of consumer healthcare brands, Aquafresh benefits from significant investment in oral care research and formulation, the same scientific rigour applied across the wider Haleon healthcare portfolio.

How To Get the Most From Your Aquafresh Routine
- Brush twice daily, morning and before bed, for at least two minutes each session.
- Use a pea-sized amount of Aquafresh Active Toothpaste on a damp toothbrush.
- Brush at a 45-degree angle toward the gumline to clean both the tooth surface and gum edge effectively.
- Use gentle circular motions rather than aggressive scrubbing to protect enamel and gums.
- Avoid rinsing immediately after brushing; leaving a thin residue allows fluoride more time to strengthen enamel.
- Replace your toothbrush every three months for the most effective clean.
