I received Colgate Optic White Toothpaste, a Colgate Optic White Toothbrush, and the Colgate Optic White Mouth Rinse. I am always a little skeptical about whitening toothpastes, as I feel that the best way to whiten your teeth is by going to the dentist and using the whitening trays that cost a little money. I am however, willing to try anything to whiten my smile, especially if it is reasonably priced. I tried the toothbrush and toothpaste first and was pleasantly surprised. There was a fresh, clean feeling without a gritty texture or odd taste that is sometimes accompanied with whitening toothpastes. I honestly feel like it did help some with whitening my teeth, but I am not quite sure if I would go as far as to say they are three shades lighter.
Next, I tried the mouth rinse. This was a different story. I have a few sensitive teeth and after about 5 seconds of swishing the mouth rinse, I had to spit it out. It sent a painful tingling sensation through my sensitive teeth that was uncomfortable and I will not be able to use it again. I did have my husband try it (he has normal teeth) and he enjoyed it and had no problems. I do have this problem with most mouth rinses though, and I do not feel like it was the brand itself, just the nature of the product that caused me issues. I would recommend the toothpaste and toothbrush to anyone, but would discourage those with sensitive teeth from using the Colgate Mouth Rinse.
