• "The mint taste was not overwhelming, but really good."

Cons:

• "I personally don’t like that thick foam, or the taste."
• "It tastes like minty chalk though, which isn’t something I’m really going to be able to get on board with."
• "This stuff has a very strong taste and really packs a punch, but for the results I'm getting I don't mind one bit."
• "I don't like the taste of the putch."
• "The only negative is the slight bitter aftertaste, but rinsing well helped with that."
• "I was only able to use this one time due to how bad the flavor is."

Whitening Effect

Pros:

• "This toothpaste I have no jokes, do the job fast and easy, I have no words to explain. The first two days I use I see the results right away. My teeth was not that perfect when I use this toothpaste omg blowing mind. 1000 % worth."
• "We had a small stain on our white leather chair. The small amount of Colgate white toothpaste rubbed on the stain made it come off after two tries."
• "This was able to take 1 years worth of stains out and make my teeth whiter."
• "I’ve used it twice now and I can already tell there’s a huge difference, and my teeth feel so clean- like I just came back from the dentist."
• "That's a powerful tooth paste! Even in the first use the whitening is slightly noticeable."
• "It starts to whiten my teeth after just a couple of days."
• "After about 1-2 weeks, the deep stains were almost entirely gone. By now, my teeth are pearly white again."

Cons:

• "I have yet to see a major change."
• "I was really excited about this toothpaste after reading all the good reviews. I have been using it for a month now. Morning and night. Have not seen any difference. Sad"
• "Wanted to whiten my teeth as it promised. I have three tubes and after 5 1/2 weeks there is still no difference. Very very disappointed!"
• "I didn’t expect much whitening power from a toothpaste but this offers none after several weeks."
• "Well, after using an entire tube, my teeth are the exact same color as before. So the 'whitening' capabilities are non-existent! Tastes pretty good, but foams up A LOT with my electric brush! At double the price of regular toothpaste and smaller tubes, I will not be buying this again."
• "After using using this daily for 6 months there is no discernable whitening. None. It is more expensive than regular toothpaste and therefore a waste of $$."
• "I am now almost done with the second tube of this and finally seeing a tiny bit of whitening - did not perform as I expected."

Packaging and Tube Design

Pros:

• "I also like the way the tube sits upright. It is much easier to get product out when you get to the bottom of the tube."
• "I love the tube for easy traveling. It’s 3 oz so it’s good to travel with."
• "I like the tube container and how it opens by a flip lid, no twisting and dropping the cap. lol"
• "The small complimentary tubes of toothpaste that I get from a dental cleaning and 1 oz., and that is about one-fourth the amount that I get from this large tube of Colgate."
• "This Colgate Optic White Renewal High Impact White Toothpaste is Great! Great Value!"
• "The red packaging is very nice."
• "When there was little left, I couldn't squeeze it, so I cut the tube with scissors and found that there was still about 20% left."

Cons:

• "Cheap and likely FAKE! When I opened I initially thought it was odd that the toothpaste felt as if there was barely any toothpaste in the container."
• "First off packaging is super suspect without any safety seal & basically half empty tubes, should’ve known better then & blame myself for what happened next."
• "Tubes are half full, making the cost ridiculous!"
• "I see the same 3 pack is now 29.99!"
• "After one use, I realized a tube is only half filled (looked like it was filled but the half was just the air)."
• "What is inside the tube seems to be more air than toothpaste, and therein lies the deception."
• "However, I have been noticed that these tunes come about 60 to 65% full (a rip off for the price of like $7.50 for each tube)."

Sensitivity and Discomfort

Pros:

• "I do not feel any teeth enamel sensitivity after using."
• "I'm really impressed with this toothpaste, I have extremely sensitive teeth... and my mouth look fantastic and I have had ZERO pain!"
• "I don't personally experience sensitivity as I have before with other whitening agents, which is the big sell."
• "Doesn't cause any added sensitivity that I've noticed."
• "It seems gentle enough on my (sensitive) gums and enamel, though you can tell it's still mildly abrasive."
• "There is not a gritty feel to this paste, so no enamel damage."
• "No irritation or burning but that's typically not an issue I encounter with toothpastes."

Cons:

• "My gums and teeth began to ache and became sensitive."
• "The problem I have is getting over the peroxide in my mouth. It stings my lips and tongue, mouth lining also."
• "The paste is harsh and also leaves my cheeks peeling."
• "After 1 week my gums are pouring blood!"
• "I used this for about 2 weeks and it made my teeth very sensitive."
• "My mouth burns when I use this—(& for a few minute after I rinse)."
• "Hurts teeth if you have any sensitivity. I do not notice much of a difference in whitening between this and the Colgate Optic Advance, but as I stated this one does cause more pain."
