I've been really busy with wedding planning so I asked my sister Chantal to review some of the latest whitening products from Colgate. After reading her review, I'm wishing I kept these samples for myself. —BB

Colgate was kind enough to send us some of their latest toothpaste and their newest toothbrush from their new Optic White line for testing and review. I love tooth whitening products, I'm kind of a white teeth junkie. But, lucky for them I had become lazy in the past couple of months and had started to notice my pearly whites looking a little more dingy then pearly. I had been eyeballing some of the whiting strips at Target just days before my Colgate package arrived, and I'm glad I saved my presidents (don't worry Target, I'll be back when the Missoni collection arrives…and probably twelve times before that).

Tooth whitening products can get pricey, with some strip packages going for around $30-$50 in stores and professional whitenings can run you hundreds of dollars. No thank you. So when I saw that the new Colgate Optic White toothpaste averages around $3.00 for a tube, and some places I've already seen it going for less, I really wanted it to work well.
I immediately loved the bright red packaging, it's very eye catching and fun. The bright color makes me think of ruby red lipstick and makes me even more excited for super white teeth. The tube is easy to use with a convenient pop lid, no worries about missing toothpaste caps, and the toothbrush comes in similar lovely red packaging.
So the toothpaste claims to work the same as whitening strips; visible results in one week's use and full results in one month's time. I think that the key here is that you can't expect to see the same results until you've been using it for one month. That's just fine with me, but if you are looking for a faster whitening, this is not going to give you that. It's a great, easy, daily way to whiten your teeth and keep them that way.
I really loved the results that I've had with Colgate Optic White. I have been using the toothpaste daily for one month now, and my smile is most definitely whiter, brighter and my teeth look great. The toothpaste never irritated me or made my teeth sensitive, and I'm a fan of the flavor and lather. I would definitely keep using this toothpaste. The toothbrush is also really great, I think it works well and the bristles are comfortable and never caused irritation. I'm also a fan of the tongue cleaner on the back of the head. As for the "cups" that hold the whitening toothpaste for better results…meh…I'm not really buying it, but I still like the toothbrush and would choose to buy one again in the future.
All in all, this is a great whitening toothpaste that I would highly recommend and plan to continue using myself, especially at such a great price point.

While it is actively whitening our teeth, it is not an anticavity ingredient.
I've used this probably 10 times already (retainer and eating) and I really haven't noticed anything, I use to do strips, brushed with Crest Vivd Whitening toothpaste - both don't work, then I was told by my doctor (who also whitens teeth professionally) that I have naturally yellow teeth. IM REALLY COUNTING ON THIS TOOTHPASTE TO WORK after a month. I never smile because I'm self conscious about my teeth.. I hope this works '
I've been using the toothpaste and the toothbrush with the mouthwash for almost a week now and I'm definitely seeing a change. Maybe it''s just going to take a little longer with your teeth. I really hope it starts working for you!! Best of luck!
