    No chalky aftertaste!

    We’ve tried many different toothpastes, and Colgate Total Active Prevention Whitening Gel is by far one of our favorites. The taste is very pleasant and not overpowering, and it doesn’t have that chalky texture that so many toothpastes do. It leaves our mouths feeling clean and fresh while still being gentle enough for everyday use. This one has definitely become a staple in our household.

    Effective, Helped Whiten My Teeth as a Frequent Co

    This is the only whitening toothpaste in which I’ve actually noticed a difference between my teeth before and after. I have the most stubborn spot that always gets stained on my front tooth, and while I didn’t notice that specific spot being lightened, I did notice my teeth becoming whiter in general. It is also minty enough to ensure that your breath smells fresher after using.

    A reliable whitening toothpaste that freshens well

    I’ve been using Colgate Optic White consistently, and overall I’m very satisfied with the results. My teeth feel noticeably cleaner and smoother after each brush, and the mint flavor leaves my mouth feeling fresh for a long time. Over time, I’ve seen a gradual improvement in the brightness of my smile, especially with regular use. The only downside for me was a bit of tooth sensitivity during the first few days, but it wasn’t too uncomfortable and went away as my teeth adjusted. I also appreciate that it fits easily into my daily routine without feeling harsh or abrasive. While it doesn’t deliver instant whitening, it does a good job maintaining a brighter look with consistent use.

    An effective, value-packed whitening toothpaste th

    This value pack offers a generous quantity of two large tubes, making it a practical and economical choice for whitening-focused oral care. The key whitening ingredients include hydrogen peroxide, which is effective but can increase sensitivity with daily use, so following the recommended frequency (typically twice daily) is important. In terms of efficacy, it delivers noticeable results, visibly brightening teeth and removing surface stains over several weeks of consistent use. The duration of the product itself is long-lasting due to the pack size, providing excellent value. A powerful and effective whitening toothpaste best for those seeking visible results and good value, with attention to potential sensitivity.

    Definitely a toothpaste I trust and would recommend.

    I've been using Colgate Cavity Prevention Toothpaste for a while now, and it's honestly a staple in my routine. It leaves my mouth feeling super clean and fresh without being too harsh, and I love knowing it's actively helping protect my teeth from cavities. The taste is smooth, not overpowering, and it makes brushing feel easy and effective every day. Definitely a toothpaste I trust and would recommend.

    Healthy whitening

    Really love the low abrasion way to whiten my teeth. This is great for coffee and tea stains. I really appreciate the cavity protection in a whitening toothpaste.

    I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This Colgate toothpaste has a great minty taste! I really like so far, but not sure the claims are true or not. Hopefully it truly whitens.

    Very thick paste

    The only thing that I really have to complain about the Cole gate total active prevention whitening toothpaste is how thick the toothpaste is. I feel like it doesn’t really dissolve well in my mouth and then when I’m done brushing my teeth I’m just kind of blacked with this thick paste over my teeth and it doesn’t foam up well for me. My boyfriend uses it and loves it, but I prefer something with a little bit thinner of a paste, but the taste of the mint is a good mint and it has lasted us for a long time I think because the paste is so thick so you really don’t need to use a lot at all
    1 reply from Customer Care team - 2 months ago
    Thanks for sharing such thoughtful feedback! We’re sorry the thicker texture and foaming weren’t quite what you prefer, though we’re glad you enjoyed the mint taste and found that a little goes a long way. Texture and foam can be very personal, and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know. If you’d like help finding a Colgate toothpaste with a lighter feel or more foam, our team would be happy to help. 😊

    Not fresh feeling after use of it.

    I didn’t like it. Mouth didn’t feel clean after use. It’s didn’t satisfy my expectations on expectations I had on feeling fresh. Had to add toothpaste in order to rinse my mouth out so I wouldn’t say it lasted a long time. Over all I think it was not dependable to clean my teeth.

    Colgate optic white is a game changer for anyone who wants to whitening their teeth in the short period of time. It helps a lot. No sensitive and no allergies at all. The tube lasts long and not too expensive and you can find it everywhere

    Favorite for clean and fresh mouth

    This is my go-to toothpaste. I like the flavor and taste. I also like the amount of 'foam' it produces while you brush. Some toothpastes get flat and watery and don't feel as if they are actually cleaning your teeth. Colgate gets it right. My mouth is clean and fresh and I haven't had a cavity in years.

    I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I’ve been using Colgate Total Active Prevention Whitening toothpaste daily and like how it leaves my mouth feeling clean and refreshed without an overpowering mint taste. After a few weeks, I noticed a subtle improvement in surface stains, especially from coffee. The whitening is gradual rather than dramatic, but it works well as an everyday toothpaste that supports overall oral hygiene.
