Xlear Natural Sinus Rinse Saline Packets with Xylitol, 50 Count (Pack of 1)

Better than the sinucleanse brand. This doesn’t make my nose smell a little off after using. It is more comfortable and I feel instant improvement after using. Never irritating.

My favorite remedy for any kind of nose/sinus trouble is a saline rinse. When that wasn't available, sometimes chewing xylitol gum helped with the sinuses. So this is the magic combo. As a bonus, it leaves my mucous membranes feeling more normal than rinsing them with just saline does. Dissolving one of these packets can take a bit of extra swirling, compared to a plain salt/bicarbonate solution. I use a clear neti bottle with a valve, from Waterpulse, which I'm also very pleased with, and which makes it easy to see if it's all dissolved or not. Just as routine safety reminders, keep all xylitol scrupulously away from dogs, and use distilled water for this.

The xylitol (basically sugar, for those unfamiliar) makes it more effective than saline, and that effectiveness was immediate on the first experience. No saline spray has been like that. A friend got a bottle and was also impressed with the drainage it prompted. I got him on it because he has frequent nosebleeds, and I personally find saline to be more drying than hydrating, from when I had my own nosebleed days. The grapefruit seed extract in it burns slightly sometimes when there's dryness, but the spray itself isn't drying. The pump is truly a MIST of wide coverage. The cap pops on and off (doesn't screw) and it somehow - also impressively - manages to stay on completely. Doesn't even weaken or loosen with frequent popping on and off. The bottle appears to be shatterproof and also doesn't leak. I feel very safe with this holding receptacle among other contents in bags. Angling of bottle tip and head positioning does matter. Tip in towards middle of nose for sinuses; tipped out towards ears for eustachian tubes. Your head is apparently also supposed to be face-down to to the ground, with the bottle held completely vertical. That last part, jury's out on but tip angling is all true. When the liquid gets too low for the tube and begins asking for pump battles, I save it and add it to another bottle. Especially when it only needs one pump's worth for effectiveness, unlike other sprays... Yep, no waste of goodness! Fyi, I also use the Xlear packets for Neti pot sinus rinses and it also works awesomely. It doesn't have the seed extract, but does have baking soda in it. Also worth checking out. Additionally have the red MAX congestion spray, with the capsicum, aloe vera, and grapefruit seed extract in it. I haven't needed to pull out the heavy artillery beyond trying it once so I can't comment on its effectiveness when sickly yet. However, this company appears to be of quality products so I have no doubt MAX also would be effective in its task, as the rest of their products are. I'm Team Xlear over here... can you tell? LOL

I use this in conjunction with the nasal spray to keep my nose clean with the Navage. Don't use it too often, but it seems to be more effective and beneficial than just a regular saline packet. You get a lot of them for the money.

This product works great when you cannot get your nose to stop running. However, even with major sinus issues I admit it tastes horrible if you accidentally lean your head back to far. I use it when I when I have used up many tissues and still cannot stop my nose

I’ve been looking for a sinus rinse that was more than just saline and baking soda and this is it! Takes a few times to get used to the sweet after taste but it definitely seems to work better than just plain salt.

These little packets by Xlear are fantastic. One packet makes eight ounces of solution, and there's 50 packets per box. I won't buy anything else. I suffered from nose problems for years because of a deviated septum and sinus infections before I found this product. Now I breath with no problems even in the most high pollen times of the year. I make two packets at a time 16 oz. I refill all my nasal spray bottles with this solution and put them in every room in the house, plus I carry one in a kit that I carry with me wherever I go. Will not dry you out like some products or leave you more congested after you use it for a couple of days. Price is wonderful, plus it has a shelf life of like two years, because it is in a powder form. Shipping was easy and fast Seller was friendly. I know I sound like a sales rep, but this stuff really, really works. I have used it for almost two years, and I have nothing bad to say about this product.

I'm allergic to everything so I need to use my neti pot. Except regular saline packets tend to irritate my sinuses. I'm so glad I ran across this stuff because it's absolutely wonderful. It doesn't leave a taste, my sinuses & nose are very comfortable afterwards, It's easy to use even though I didn't think it was going to dissolve because of the size of the crystals. They're more like granulated sugar as opposed to salt that you get with the saline solutions. But it dissolved instantly! I'm very happy and able to use this twice a day now without any problems. Definitely value for my money! Highly recommend.

Been using daily… helps me sleep better at night clears my airways enough

Very effective product, only drawback is the price is high.

Tried many other brands of salts, Xlear seem to work best for me.

This was recommended by my ENT surgeon and has made a difference. I was using Nealmed sinus rinse but X-clear has helped to prevent 'crusting' forming, due to the Xylitol content in the rinse solution, which Nealmed wasn't doing.

Burns so badly! I had been using another brand without xylitol with no problems. I tried this 6 different times, following the directions perfectly and making sure it was fully dissolved. Each time it burned just slightly less than accidentally inhaling chlorinated pool water. Absolutely awful.
