Colgate Optic White Toothpaste review

I usually use red seal baking soda toothpaste for whitening but when I saw this on special for about $8 I decided to give it a go. The packaging is a vibrant red and appealing to me. It comes in a standard squeezy tube with a flip top lid.

The toothpaste is very thick, it tastes OK and does a good job at cleaning my teeth. As for the whitening well it did make them a tad whiter but I feel like you have to continue using this for it to be really effective and it is not a toothpaste I would want to use forever.

It also makes my gums feel tingly and made my teeth feel sensitive which I have never had issues with before. For this reason alone I would not repurchase. I much prefer my trusty red seal toothpaste.

If you're after a whitening toothpaste that works this is honestly worth the money! I know it is a wee bit pricey but it's a whole lot cheaper than getting your teeth whitened. I wouldn't recommend for sensitive teeth as the bleaching ingredients can make sensitivity worse.

Had been using normal toothpaste for a while and thought to give the optic white toothpaste a go when i saw it at a reasonable price. Its definitely not an over night fix, and definitely takes a couple of days to start seeing any differences. To keep your teethe white you would need to continue using optic white as your teeth will just go back to going yellow etc.

My all family members were using Colgate Triple Action until out friend recommend us Optic White. I really thank this friend of mine who saved us dollars for spending on whitening treatments. It will surely not do a magic over night. We used it at least for a month to see a difference in our teeths color. Since then we are using it and cannot think of any other tooth paste for now.

Bright packaging really appealing on toothpaste shelf, decent size tube but is a bit more expensive than other whitening toothpastes at supermarket. I really like the taste of the toothpaste which is why I continue to use this product, however my teeth haven't really whitened up as promised. Have been using this toothpaste for about 6 months.

I got this for a bargain price from my local discount store - the full retail price is more than I would usually pay for toothpaste. I like the packaging which is metallic red and I particularly like the large flip top lid. This makes it easy to open and stand up but it was quite hard to get the last of the paste out. It is a plain white paste with a very strong mint flavour which reminds me of Listerine. This leaves me with a real fresh taste in my mouth and it also leaves my teeth feeling really clean and smooth. However...

Do not use this if you have any sensitivity at all! This almost made me cry when used on a sensitive tooth, it was that bad! I did find if I brushed my sensitive tooth last, when there was less paste on the brush that it wasn't as bad. When I mentioned this to my dentist, she said whitening pastes do tend to do this, and that they don't really work as far as whitening goes. I didn't see any change in the whiteness of my teeth but I wasn't able to use this regularly enough to tell.

I wouldn't use this again because of the sensitivity issue. I've since found a natural toothpaste that I'm enjoying using a lot more.

I do have generally a sensitivity to my teeth, and they aren't too badly stained but after receiving a sample of this toothpaste I stuck it into my travel bag for use while on the road, as my only toothpaste and wow I wish I didn't.

Let's address the elephant in the room first, it claims to give you whiter teeth, no it did not even after a fortnight of twice a day brushing did it give even a hint of a brighter smile.

It did, however, make my mouth and teeth feel clean, but no more than regular toothpaste, it did have a minty freshness as well.

It did also give me the most painful experience whilst eating ice cream or drinking cold drinks, which I can only gather is from an agent stripping a layer off of your teeth and for someone who already has sensitivity there this was an awful experience.

I wouldn't recommend or repurchase this as it is a waste of money, and a lie of claim.

This product was a bit disappointing.

Packaging wise, love the bright red colours and the result photos is what really sold me. In terms of doing what it says it does, I went through the whole tube and there was no difference to my teeth. Considering it was quite expensive and did not produce the promised results I Definately do not recommend buying or using this product

I liked the bright red packaging, then the sleek red tube aswell. I didn't mind the taste to much how ever after using it for a while I haven't noticed much difference in whitening which is a shame.

Given all the advertising I thought I'd give it ago. Part of me now wonders if they deliberately have the people's teeth whitened first rather that before and after photos.

Slightly higher priced option on the supermarket shelf and a skeptic at best, I purchased Optic white to see if it could achieve great results. On first use my gums were extremely tingly I normally gave sensitive teeth and gums, on second use the tingly was unbearable. Sadly I did not see and changes or willing to preserve through the intense tingly in my gums... guess the dentist option is for me.
