Best for effective cleaning
Gives deep cleaning and polishes your teeth giving a smooth feeling. Charcoal in the paste removes stains resulting in visibly whiter teeth over a period of use. Gentle on gums and the minty flavour leaves a refreshing touch.

Good for your teeth
I’ve been using Colgate Charcoal Essential for a while now, and I’m really impressed! The charcoal formula makes my teeth feel extra clean and fresh every time I brush. It helps remove surface stains effectively and leaves my mouth feeling super refreshed. I like that it doesn’t feel too harsh, yet it still gives a deep clean. Definitely a great choice if you want brighter teeth and a confident smile!

Colgate
I love this toothpaste! It has a nice texture and aroma. It cleans and whitens teeth very well. The pleasant mint aroma remains for a long time. The packaging is very convenient. I also really like the fact that there are several options for this toothpaste with different aromas and flavors. The price for it is affordable and pleasant.

Olcsó, hatékony.
Ár-érték arányban olcsó. A tubuson kívüli papír doboz csomagolást fölöslegesnek érzem. Hatékonyan szagtalanít, tisztít látszatra enyhén fehérít is hosszú távon. Összetevőket tekintve, íze kellemes, nem tolakodó, kellemetlen.

Polishing and fresh!
Before I opened it I thought it was going to just be an all-black toothpaste, but the charcoal is only present as strips, so you don't have to worry about black teeth. There's a slight abrasive texture to it that really gets the plaque off. Does a good job at freshening breath.

Even though Colgate Optic White with Charcoal Toothpaste has charcoal in it, it makes your smile, really white!

Colgate calling
This paste is not gritty, but smooth texture. The charcoal is wrapped within the paste like a paste itself. My teeth didn't have a leftover residue either. I am a smoker and coffee drinker so hopefully this will take away some staining. I do use a whitening pen after brushing and that helps tremendously.

Strong minty flavor!
I have been using this for the past 6 months and I really like the flavor and I know charcoal is good for whitening your teeth. It also has a strong mint flavor I love!

Do not recommend
I regret not looking closer to the ingredients prior to purchasing and using. There is no need for this product to have blue 1 or red 40 in it. Definitely would not recommend for children’s use.

Steer Clear!
I came to reviews to see if anyone else had a similar experience as me and it appears a few have... after using this toothpaste for a week and a half, I've developed FIVE canker sores in my mouth. It's absolutely awful. After doing some research, I read that "sodium lauryl sulphate" can be linked to canker sore development, and sure enough, it's an ingredient used here. This ingredient is banned in other countries. Sadly now I know why
