Colgate Optic White Cleaning System - Review

Good morning everyone. I know back when I posted my initial Influenster package opening I said I would post about my teeth a week later. Welllllllllllllll yea. Its now.

If you remember the original post and video, you saw I received the Colgate Optic White toothbrush, paste & mouth wash from Influenster at no cost to me for review. Well, this is my review. Like it or not ;)

First the tooth brush. I...love...the...tooth...brush. It is amazingsauce. It feels like the bristles are dancing all over my teeth and massaging my gums at the same time. I like the tongue scraper thingie on the back. I don't have to ruin my bristles by scrubbing my tongue. I will definitely purchase this tooth brush again. It is A++++ in my book.

The toothpaste. Is good. Its not overly minty. It makes my teeth feel clean. I was using the Colgate Total Advanced Whitening previously. I can get a much bigger tube of the Total kind for the same price (roughly) as the Optic White. While I do believe Optic got my teeth whiter FASTER than the Total, I'm not sure if it actually took it to a whiter smile overall. I don't know that I would go out of my way to repurchase the Optic unless I had a coupon or it was on sale.

The mouthwash. Okay this stuff tastes disgusting. Its basically like swishing with hydrogen peroxide. I did like the foamy thing it did getting the gunk from between my teeth. I'm HORRIBLE at flossing. I admit it. I hate flossing (I'd rather do my taxes and scrub the toilets.) But the taste needs serious improvement. I had to rinse my mouth out two or three times with water before bed because the taste was that horrific. I would try it again if they did something about the taste.

On to the actual before and after pics:

This is the before:

Here is the after:

I know its hard to tell because the pics are kind of blurry and I have my morning toast stuck on the bottom teeth this morning...but I can see a difference. I drink about a pot of coffee a day, so seeing a difference is a good thing. Its not a HUGE difference, but there is one there. I'm happy with the results.

So the final breakdown. On a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being sucky and 5 being fantastical:

Colgate Optic White Toothbrush: 5++++

Colgate Optic White Toothpaste: 4

Colgate Optic White Mouth Wash: 3 (would have been higher if the taste was better)

There you have it folks. 

My opinions are my own no matter how I receive a product. With that...
