Colgate Optic White Toothpaste review

I was given this toothpaste and was excited to try it out. It had some pretty big claims attached and I really hoped it would follow through. Unfortunately, it didn't happen.

The red tube is quite cool, bright and different. The toothpaste comes out easily, that's good. But that's about where the pluses end for me The texture is bitsy and not very nice, the taste is awful. And most importantly - after a month of using it, I didn't have even slightly whiter teeth. But I did have an irritated throat, which the doctor put down to the toothpaste, and when I stopped it went away. For me, this product was a dud.

I love the idea of whiter teeth - I have slightly yellowed teeth from coffee and smoking in my 20s. Dumb I know!

I was quite excited to trial this - it promises 3 shades whiter teeth in just 4 weeks. The tube itself is quite small for the price you pay, but I figured it would be worth it if it delivered on it's promise. I love the bright red colour, I love the fact that it sits on it's lid, and the tube itself is really easy to squeeze product out of so that's another huge bonus.

It's not the strongest tasting toothpaste I've ever used, but the flavour is ok. The texture itself is slightly more gritty than my usual toothpaste, but it's not unpleasant. I don't have that clean feeling for as long as I do when using my other normal toothpaste but it does seem to clean as well.

As for results - nope. No change, not whiter, nothing....I wont be purchasing this again.

I'm not convinced that this product did what it promised. Maybe I should have taken before and after photos but I certainly didn't have anybody comment to me! It wasn't the most pleasant toothpaste either, with a very dry texture. I didn't make my mouth feel fresh and clean.

I tried this toothpaste and to he honest i seen no difference in my teeth they didn't go any shade whiter I would not buy this again

I'm not a big fan. I gave it a fair go, purchased 2 tubes of it and saw absolutely no change at all (thought it may take a while to see a difference because of all the coffee I drink) . But nothing. I did like how amazingly smooth my teeth felt and how the taste of the tooth paste wasn't too strong and over powering but I get that from my normal paste any way. I wouldn't waste my time or money on buying it again.

In theory this sounds good. 3 shades whiter teeth? Yes please!

I love the metallic red tube this comes in it looks pretty and makes me want to use it. I love the real minty flavour of this it's quite strong and reminds me of the imperial mints. It leaves my teeth feeling very clean for hours afterwards better than any other toothpaste I have used. But I will unfortunately never use it again. It has left my teeth and gums so sensitive nearly every tooth has been aching and my gums have felt like they are burning. It's really thrown me because I hardly ever get sensitive teeth generally only if I eat ice cream too fast. I think it could be the hydrogen peroxide that's causing the sensitivity because I have never experienced this before with normal toothpaste. Never ever again! I will leave the whitening to the dentist.

I used up 2 whole tubes of this toothpaste in the desperate hope that it would whiten without the hassle of having to use separate whitening products, unfortunately I saw no difference whatsoever than using my standard $3 tube.

This has quite a strong, clinical taste to it which I started to associate with clean teeth, I guess that's the taste of the hydrogen peroxide (the supposed whitenener). It's weird but I kinda miss that strong taste, cheaper toothpaste doesn't taste as 'clean'.

Other than that, I don't miss this toothpaste. I think you should save your pennies and spend them on an actual proven whitening product such as Crest Whitening Strips etc.

I am always on the hunt for products that will whiten my teeth without damaging them and I had high hopes for this product as it was Colgate- a brand I trust. I used two tubes of the Colgate Optic White toothpaste (plus the whitening pen) and saw only a very very minor difference in the whiteness. It was actually so minor that sometimes I think that maybe I even imagined that I saw a difference. I used this toothpaste twice a day and did not get any sensitivity after using this product which is something I am always wary of when using whitening products.

Overall I do not think it is worth the money and I prefer other toothpastes.

has a funny taste, used for a week and had no results, size of tube is small for the price, wont be using it again
