They just reduced the size but are charging the same price, aka shrinkflation. It works fine but not worth it anymore

Purple color for whiter effect.
Really like Colgate toothpaste. I really like the idea of purple working to make yellow teeth tones appear a brighter white without bleach. I took off 1 star as the size seems to be shrinking. I need more time to see stain removal.

Not worth the price
Not worth the price. I don’t see a difference between using this toothpaste and the one using baking soda. The aftertaste is very strong and doesn’t rinse out very easily. It’s incredibly heavy on your teeth and has a gross feeling after using it. My breathe is super fresh afterwards but I would not buy this again.

Good Cleaning, But Not For Sensitive Teeth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have sensitive teeth, and unfortunately I found this toothpaste heightened my sensitivity. As a result, for part of my testing period, I ended up having to reduce my usage from twice a day to once a day (I alternated with another sensitive paste), which likely interfered with my whitening results. It left my breath feeling fresh and my teeth feeling clean, but I couldn't tolerate the discomfort from the paste long term. I would imagine this could be a very good whitening paste for someone whose teeth aren't as sensitive as mine, hence the "good" rating, but I wanted to review from the perspective of someone with teeth sensitivity.

It works!
After only a few uses, I’ve already noticed an improvement in the whiteness of my teeth (which are yellowing due to my coffee drinking).

Nothing crazy
Tastes a bit soapy but not terrible. Affordable and fine as a basic toothpaste, similar to most available toothpastes on the market. Dispenses as a usual toothpaste.

Great whitening toothpaste
Great toothpaste for whitening, noticed a huge difference after just a few days of using it. It has a fresh. Lean taste and lathers. The tube seems to last a good amount of time.

Removes stains.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Flavor is minty and leaves freshness in my mouth. It dispenses easily which keeps it clean. Packaging is okay, it’s plastic, but much is never ideal. It does work and whitened my teeth some.

Horrible and almost stained my teeth!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I disliked this toothpaste from the moment it touched my teeth. I have stained teeth and thought this would work well (like purple shampoo on my blonde hair) NOT at all. It almost stained my teeth purplish black. I instantly saw the darkness on my teeth and spit it out and my teeth looked worse than before I used it. I had to brush with a different toothpaste to get it to go away and did not use again. I would not recommend at all.

It does work!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok so the difference is very noticeable in both pictures. I never thought it will really work. This will be my everyday toothpaste. I use it every day and the results are still getting even better. Definable worth the try. Whitening is so expensive and this is really a more easy and less painful way to have white teeths. Love this Colgate Optic White purple Toothpaste. And yes the color is purple. My teeths are now clean and looking whiter than before. It is a good size I still have and been using it for more than a month. Even my family started to using it, because they noticed my teeths getting whiter. 😍

Love this toothpaste!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Colgate Optic White Purple - First Impressions Review I've recently started using Colgate Optic White Purple, and my initial experience has been quite positive. The toothpaste itself is a light purple shade, offering a fun twist compared to the typical white toothpaste. It has a refreshing mint flavor that leaves my mouth feeling clean without being overwhelmingly strong. What stood out to me immediately was the clean, smooth feeling of my teeth after brushing. It effectively removes surface stains, particularly those from my morning coffee, making my teeth appear noticeably brighter and less dull. Although I haven't used it long enough to comment on dramatic whitening over time, I can already see a slight improvement in my teeth's overall brightness. Another highlight is its gentleness. It doesn’t cause any sensitivity, which makes it suitable for daily use. Overall, Colgate Optic White Purple is a solid whitening toothpaste that delivers visible results on surface stains while leaving my mouth fresh and polished. I'm looking forward to seeing its long-term whitening benefits with continued use.

It works and its actually purple!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly, I'm always a little bit jaded. When it comes to whitening products and purple is my favorite color so I'm always looking for a nice purple toothpaste. But they're never purple, and they never properly whiten. This product succeeds at both!

Wouldn’t recommend
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I hate to rate this toothpaste so poorly, but i just really didn’t like it. 🥴 It felt really foamy in my mouth, it didn’t make my teeth feel clean (I literally would brush twice with this just to feel like it made a difference), and I felt like it had absolutely no whitening power (in fact, I felt really self-conscious like my teeth were getting more yellow!). I personally wouldn’t buy this product again and I wouldn’t recommend it to a friend.

Great addition to daily routine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this toothpaste! Colgate Optic White Purple gives an instant brightening effect after brushing, and my teeth look noticeably whiter right away. It tastes fresh, isn’t harsh on enamel, and works great as a quick confidence boost before heading out. Definitely adding it to my daily routine. 💜🦷

Great toothpaste
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used this toothpaste so much because I really love it. I’m a coffee drinker and I do believe this has helped with preventing staining. It foams up pretty well and the taste is fine. I use it daily and it works. I havent experienced any issues with this toothpaste. It’s easy to open the tub and close it. The cap closes without any issues. Taste is great.

Works like a dream
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Colgate toothpaste. It is a staple in my household. When I found out they made purple toothpaste I was over the moon. I can’t get my teeth professionally whitened due to having partially reconstructed front teeth so I love a good gentle whitening option that can help me whiten my teeth but not overly whiten them. I found the toothpaste to be effective at that. From the first use I have noticed that my teeth are brighter and whiter.

Ok
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before and after photos of using this toothpaste. I have to say it’s a very interesting toothpaste in terms of texture. Because it is very thick, it actually stuck to the sink. It was a pain to get the purple residue off of the inside of the sink.

Slightly whiter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My teeth are slightly whiter after use. Although I am a heavy coffee drinker I don’t ever expect them to be paper white. I do appreciate the toothpaste as it helps prevent my teeth from becoming worse from all the coffee I drink.

Gets the job done
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked this toothpaste overall. It’s purple, which is fun and different. It claims to be anti-cavity and whitening with microscopic beads, that you cannot feel in the texture. I didn’t notice a difference in how white my teeth looked, however I also drink a lot of coffee, so my teeth have always had some yellow staining. The tube is smaller than a normal toothpaste and lasted me about a month, though I still have a little left. That said, it worked well as a regular toothpaste and has that typical minty fresh aftertaste. If the price is comparable to other toothpastes I usually buy, I’d definitely pick this up and use it again.
