Colgate Optic White Toothpaste review

After seeing one of the big time beauty gurus of youtube say she uses this (shes got gorgeous white teeth) I thought i would give it a go, but after going through an entire tube using it twice a day I didnt notice a different at all?. I do however think based on the ingredients if it were used in conjunction with another whitening product it would help boost the whitening

i bought this after a friend had used it and said that she loved it. For $9.95 i didnt mind buying it to give it a go, the paste is very thick and powdery, i didnt mind this as i felt i was getting a good clean, the taste was pleasant also. I used this for 2 1/2 months brushing at least 2 times a day, i did find my teeth to be a little whiter after the period i used it but not extremely. I would definitely use this toothpaste again mostly for the cleaning properties, with the whitening being an added bonus.

I used this toothpaste twice a day until the tube ran out - which worked out to be about 4 weeks. I definitely don't think it lightened my teeth the 4 shades that it claimed it could but my sister said she could definitely see a difference the next time she saw me so I believe it did make some difference. I also really loved the taste of the toothpaste, and the very slight grainy feel made my teeth feel so so clean, which I loved. This is not a product I would use all of the time, because of how much more expensive it is than regular toothpaste, but I will probably using it every 6 months or so to freshen my teeth up.

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.

I am nearly at the end of the first tube of this toothpaste which I am currently using, I am using the smaller tube and have been using it for about three and a half weeks day and night. I have not yet noticed obvious change but my partner says my teeth are a bit whiter. I dont mind the taste what i love is how my teeth feel afterwards, I think possibly because of the grainy feel that it does have maybe contributing to the overall after feel, In terms of whitening I think it does slight but not to the degree which is advertised.

I have teeth that are very hard to whiten - my enamel beds were ruined as a baby by asthma drugs - and this is the first and only whitening toothpaste that has ever had an effect. My teeth are visibly brighter and whiter and I'm only halfway through the tube. For this result, at less than ten dollars a tube, it's a bargain to me. I am amazed! The texture is a little thick and the flavour is very strong, but I don't care, with those results.

I used this toothpaste for over a month and in that time I noticed very little, if any, change in the appearance or whiteness of my teeth. My teeth are relatively white to begin with, but I expected this tooth paste to enhance their natural whiteness, at least a little and help remove any stains. Whilst I was disappointed with the whitening ability of the product, I did enjoy the taste, which I felt was very pleasant and fresh. The texture of the paste is quite 'grainy' so I did feel that my teeth were being cleaned effectively, if not whitened. My teeth always felt smooth after brushing, which indicated to me that the product was removing any buildups of plaque or tartar. This product is quite expensive and based on it not really doing what it claimed, I probably wouldn't purchase it again.

Have just finished my tube of this toothpaste and I haven't really noticed any difference. The enamel on my teeth was damaged when i was very young so I struggle to find whitening products that actually work. The taste is great and i love how my teeth feel afterwards

I've used a couple of tubes of this and haven't always noticed that much of a difference, I feel that there are other whitening toothpastes that do a better job and on some days this toothpaste was pretty harsh and burned a little. Not my favourite

I have been using the Colgate Optic White toothpaste for the last month, for twice a day as the instructions stated. Taking a photo of my teeth at the beginning has helped me to keep a track of the whitening process.

For starters I didn’t have highly stained teeth to begin with but having being given a free coupon for a full size tube via email marketing I couldn’t resist it.

The packaging is quite appealing in its metallic red coat with its easy to squeeze, almost thin feeling plastic tube that allows the right amount out onto your toothbrush without any hassle. Opening and closing is a breeze with the click down lid that actually stays shut once closed, its flat top means it’s happy to stand upside down on the bathroom vanity, without falling over or being easily knocked off.

As with all good toothpastes the pleasant scent of fresh mint is highly detectable and the formula itself is quite thick which is excellent for getting it onto the brush then your teeth without the paste running off down your top, this also allows you to be quicker as it doesn’t make excess foam so it’s less clean up. Another thing I noted while using this was that normally toothpaste when it foams around my mouth it can cause the skin in that area to become a bit sensitive and tingle as the paste site on it, I never had this sensation with this toothpaste which was a bit of a surprise considering its a whitening toothpaste and people generally label these as being harsh.

It didn’t leave a nasty taste in my mouth and left a nice minty linger for most of the day. Now with the verdict of the whitening, like I said my teeth were not horribly stained to begin with but after 4-5 weeks, which is how long the whole tube lasted me, I found that it had made my teeth a few shades whiter, very bright in fact, with no stains on the edges and that included the not in visible smile teeth.

I have sensitive teeth and normally use a brand that is designed for that purpose, but found that even though this is whitening toothpaste it hasn’t aggravated my sensitivity, I encountered no painful flare ups or sore gums which I have had in the past with other brands. Very impressed with this toothpaste to be whitening but gentle, I don’t think I need to use continually as my teeth aren’t so bad but maybe as a treatment once or twice a year to keep them looking bright might be ideal for me.
