Not so great

I am on to the second tube of this product, and whilst I did I did notice a slight improvement with the first tube, that's where it stopped. Nothing has changed for quite a while now, I will not be buying another after this. It does taste nice, but I would prefer it to give me the white that was promised on the advertising.

All right, but nothing special

Although I am pretty careful about brushing my teeth twice daily, drinking water, using mouthwash etc, I find that my teeth do end up with a slightly yellowish tinge to them so I purchased this to try and remedy that.

I found it gave a decent clean, but I didn't really notice too much difference in the colour of my teeth. My teeth can be quite sensitive and sometimes products such as these will irritate them, but i didn't have any problems in that regard.

All in all, I probably won't be repurchasing.

Tips: Do try it for the full four weeks as sometimes it can take quite a decent while to really see a difference.

Colgate Optic White Toothpaste

I had high hopes for this toothpaste, were sadly not met. This toothpaste promises to offer the best results in white teeth. However i have been using Colgate Optic White for nearly 6 months and my teeth look exactly the same! It is easy to use and has a nice consistency. I like the fact that the toothpaste tastes a bit like going to the dentist - they use some of the ingredients that dentists use - however it can also taste a little gritty at times. Colgate Optic White does give your teeth a good clean, leaving them healthy and refreshed, but the promises of super white teeth are perhaps a bit too optimistic!

Good, but not great.

It's something about whitening toothpastes- people have such high expectations for them that when they don't wake up the next day with sparkly white teeth the colour of A4 printer paper, suddenly life is a lie and there is a void of emptyness that cannot be filled. In simpler terms, it can be very dissapointing. You get what you pay for in this world, and if you pay nine dollars for a tube of stuff, it is not reasonable to expect the results that one would gain from a several hundred dollar dental whitening procedure. Thus, having realistic expectations is key. Now that we have addressed the chasm between expectation and observation, on to my experience with this product. I love tea and coffee and have vastly increased my consumption since moving to Dunedin. Whilst I do not think that I saw much of a measurable difference in the whiteness of my teeth I think it helped to keep staining at bay. To comment on product aesthetics, the toothpaste is a bit of a bizzare thick texture which has a high inertia (for those unfamiliar with Physics, inertia = resistance to acceleration) i.e. it takes a bit to "get this toothpaste going", so to speak. It doesn't foam up as much as regular toothpastes, but whilst I don't mind this, others may not feel as though their teeth have been adequately cleaned. It has a pleasant taste, not too intense, no eye-watering minty-ness (but I disclose that I have a relatively high tolerance for such things.) I will continue to use this product because I am an optimist. I will not expect miracles because I am a realist.

Hmmmm

Used about 3 tubes and gave up. It's pretty expensive and didn't do much (if anything). I do drink tea and coffee but didn't drink these while I was using this toothpaste to ensure I give it the best go. A bit disappointed, but have seen results for one of my friends so I guess you have to try it to see if it's right for you or not. Since, I have been trying the new Colgate whitening pen and brush which seem to work and keeps the coffee and tea stains away!!! Using in conjunction with Red Seal Baking Soda toothpaste which is for the purpose of whitening. Worth a try!

Haven't noticed any changes

Haven't noticed any changes yet and have been using this toothpaste for a month or more now. I know it probably takes a few weeks, but not that impressed with it.

Optic Ow!

I've always been quite dubious about in-home whitening. My thought being after hearing horror stories about strips that left your teeth looking 'patchy' that the only place whitening should be done is in a dentist's chair. However after receiving two boxes of these in a sample box I decided to throw caution to the wind, because strips are so much more different than paste - right?

Firstly, I love the packaging, it's red and shiny and looks expensive! And that translates to the tube as well. It looks like a product that will work. So does it?

Well, it feels like it should! Whilst your brushing, your mouth feels all busy and fizzy! It actually feels like something is happening! And afterwards it leaves your mouth properly minty fresh too. But does this translate into whiter brighter teeth? Well I took a before and after picture and after using it for a few weeks I can see a slight difference. Nothing major, but it does seem a little lighter. Which would be a good thing except since using it my teeth have become VERY sensitive and I'm finding it hard to eat citrussy foods - ow! (And I love me some winter mandarins!)

So would I recommend it? I say give it a go. The price is right for a shade or two lighter and as long as you don't end up having sensitive teeth as a result of using it, then there's no reason not to like it.

No huge change

When we tried this toothpaste, we didn't expect a huge change, but we wanted nice teeth for a wedding. This toothpaste was very gritty, and very strong so you only wanted to use a little bit at a time. It didn't clean your teeth very well - so not good to use as a toothpaste, I often felt like i needed to brush them first with another toothpaste, and then use this one specifically just for whitening which defeats the purpose! In saying that, it did whiten our teeth, but not within the 14 day period which is what it claims on the box! Overall, it was expensive, and not really worth it.

Colgate Optic White Toothpaste

Iv'e been using this tooth paste for a couple of months now. At first I was excited, it had a nice fresh taste, but it clumps up on my bottom teeth unless I brush vigorously; which I HATE doing. After the months that I've been using this product twice a day, I've been let down. My teeth aren't much whiter than they were when I started using this toothpaste. The box says, 3 shades whiter after 4 weeks. My teeth after about 2-3 months are maybe 1 shade whiter

Tips: Rinse your mouth out well, and brush vigorously so the tooth paste doesn't clump.

Not bad.... my teeth are no whiter though.

I have been using this toothpaste for about 2 months now.. I drink waaaaay to much coffee (how much is too much anyway?) so I thought I'd give this a try. I like the metallic red tube. For the price I would like a bigger sized tube, but having said that, it did last me a month then I brought another. I also like that it stands on it's lid. Another plus, is when you get to the end you can unscrew the plastic flip cap and encourage the last dregs out of the tube. The taste is nice and minty (I don't like it any more or any less than any other toothpaste), and I like the gritty feel. It leaves your mouth feeling very clean. One plus about the smaller size, it's great for a sponge bag (I travel a bit, so like smaller size items). This toothpaste doesn't foam up as much as regular brands, but that's no reason to hate it.... The only thing I don't like about it, is that I don't notice any visible signs that my teeth are whiter. I would buy it again, because i like it as far as toothpaste go, but I don't think this really cuts the mustard as a whitener.
