Colgate Optic White

I brought this toothpaste along with other oral care at the pharmacy in Ponsonby while waiting for a script. I mention this as I paid $13 for it (well over the RRP!) Anyhoo, its very fresh and dense as a paste. I used the whole tube and it did take a while as a little goes along way. Really could not see any noticeable difference in the whiteness of my teeth but you do lose perspective on this kind of observation. But I did like it as a toothpaste, it felt very good and it has a striking packaging.

Tips: Probably give up tea and coffee for a weeks too to see if it really does whiten

Okay...

This is okay. Just okay. It's a good toothpaste but I don't think it lives up to the claims. Although, I did notice a small change it was very small and the flavour was a bit too strong for me and once I stopped using it my teeth didn't remain 'white'. Don't get me wrong though, it is a good toothpaste, feels fresh and clean and you will see a little change but if you're wanting to totally whiten your teeth your best to go with a teeth whitening kit. All in all, it's a good toothpaste, and an okay whitener as long as you use it religiously and the tube lasts a long time.

Colgate Optic

After seeing the ads on tv for this product I HAD to try it, especially with my wedding coming up. It made my teeth feel very fresh and clean but didn't really live up to what it promised about whitening. A good toothpaste but not so good for whitening and pretty exspensive

Colgate Optic White Toothpaste

I was really excited to use this toothpaste. But have to be honest i felt a bit let down. When you consider the price compared to other toothpastes and the fact that it didn't noticeably whiten my teeth.

The taste is a little un usual, but i kind of like it. It kind of has a hot mint/ baking soda taste. It did leave my mouth feeling fresh and clean.

But was very disapointed my the results. after finishing the whole tube i can't say i really noticed much difference certainly not 3 shades. I really do love Colgate toothpastes. But think i prefer the original Colgate total .

Tips: use with an electric toothbrush. Don't expect up to 3 shades whiter teeth or you will be disappointed. At the end of the day if you want a professional white smile. The visit your dentist.

Not as good as it says :(

I used this toothpaste for a six month period when it was first released. I really was left disappointed as I saw no new whiteness at all. I am not a smoker, but I do like my one to two cups of coffee a day, so I certainly do not have pearly whites!! I think this product was overrated when advertised. I did test two full sized tubes, so in my experience, I would have to say a no to this. I paid $8.99 a tube. The taste is lovely, almost like that at the school dental nurses office. So for taste, it was lovely. The tube itself has been designed to easily be able to scrape the absolute last out. Also the packaging is very fancy and enticing.

A Little Result

I used Optic White toothpaste for 4 months (til the tube ran out), It lightened my teeth a little and I was pleased with that, but definitely not by 4 shades. It had a pleasant taste but was too strong for my sensitive mouth. I'd use it again in the hope that it might lighten my teeth a bit more.

Tips: Reduce your coffee/tea intake if you can bear it, to improve the whitening results.

Not convinced

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.

Tips: If you are desiring whiter teeth, I'd suggest spending the money on a trip to the dentist rather than on this product.

If you're looking for fresh breath then try this..

There has been so much hype built up around this toothpaste with television commercials going insane and every media channel throwing this around I was not convinced to go out and buy this because my days of falling for media hype is long over!

It was just my luck I received 2 full sized tube of this toothpaste and quite happy that I could give this a go for free and not feel like I've been shot in the foot by the media once again.

I definitely love the packaging of this toothpaste and looking at the supermarket shelves this toothpaste definitely jumps infront of you first with it glossy metallic box and bright red. If anything is a winner, its the box. The size of 110g is pretty decent and one tube has me and hubby going for close to a month now which to me is always a sign of good value for money.

I like that you dont need a huge amount this paste for it to foam up and give your mouth a decent cleanse. I use a thin line down my toothbrush and its more than enough for me to get a good brush. When you place this toothpaste in your mouth you have to be prepared for a mint explosion! Yes, the first time I used it my eyes started watering because the mint flavour is really intense and lingers for what seems to be forever on tongue. After using it for some time, the taste and intensity no longer bothers me and I really enjoy the explosion of freshness left behind in my mouth after brushing!

Now for the important questions... Does it work? 3 shade lighter teeth in 4 weeks? Well my teeth weren't stained before using this toothpaste but they weren't the shade of bone china either. I've taken photos of my teeth before using the toothpaste which is now almost 4 weeks as directed, and sadly I dont even see a 0.5 shade lighter never mind 3 shades.

I'm not quite sure if I will re-purchasing this toothpaste in future for $8 and just a mint explosion it seems abit pricing. Perhaps this toothpaste works wonders on teeth that are severely stained but if you have teeth that not stained but not quite dazzling white either I'm not sure that this toothpaste is going to work for you.

Tips: Your eyes may water the first time you use this toothpaste so just use a small amount to begin with.

Good toothpaste

I was excited to be given this toothpaste to try. The very hot red packaging gives it a very attractive appearance to start with. The taste was unexpected, and kind of menthol-ly. After using it for a while I can see my teeth look clean and maybe a little whiter. I probably couldn't say three shades whiter at this stage though. It is quite a good toothpaste but I couldn't recommend it as a great whitener.

It is relatively inexpensive for how well it serves as a toothpaste.

No difference at all :(

I've been trying to get whiter teeth for years now and still haven't found a solution. Tried this after seeing an ad at a bus stop but it's been almost one and a half months and still no difference. Worlds great as a normal toothpaste: fresh taste, nice minty breath after, feels cleansing. BUT... Where's the whitening? It perhaps prevented more yellowing/staining but the origional stains didn't whiten or disappear :/
