Colgate Optic White Toothpaste review

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have been using this product religiously for the past 3-4 months and can honestly say my teeth are not 3 shades whiter! I thought perhaps I needed to give it a bit longer than the 4 weeks that is promised on the box, but am giving up! I'm going to try a different brand. Do not recommend.

I was so excited to try this product. After seeing before and afters online, i certainly thought it would work. However, i was disappointed! After using the product for a few months, i still didn't notice much of a difference. I also found it slightly harsh on my teeth. You could certainly feel it cleaning your teeth but in my opinion, was too rough. I wouldn't purchase it again.

This toothpaste does work, nothing very obvious but it does lighten my teeth a little. The granules are a little abrasive on my gums so I alternate with my regular toothpaste.
