My husband and I have been happily married for almost 33 years. Back on our 30th wedding anniversary we had planned on taking a cruise and doing some traveling. A few weeks before we were to leave…I ended up in the hospital for 6 long and miserable weeks. Needless to say, cruise and trip cancelled.

* Complimentary Products Received from Colgate-Palmolive.

We’re now getting ready to celebrate our belated 30th wedding anniversary trip next month and one of the things I wanted to do before we leave was…get my teeth whitened. Yes, my teeth whitened! Instead of pouring out hundreds of dollars at my local dentist’s office, I decided to go the at-home whitening route.

When it comes to oral care products…my family uses Colgate and we’ve been using Colgate products for over 25+ years. I can always count on Colgate to deliver quality products that are easy-to-use and affordable.

For this feature I received the following products:

* Colgate Optic White High Impact White Multi-Care Whitening Rinse

* Colgate Optic White Platinum Stain-Less White Anticavity Fluoride Toothpaste

* Colgate Optic White Platinum High Impact White Anticavity Fluoride Toothpaste

* Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Built-In Whitening Pen

Colgate Optic White High Impact White Multi-Care Whitening Rinse with Whiteseal Technology that actively whitens and seals out new stains. This mouth rinse is enamel safe, kills bad breath germs and is in a refreshing icy fresh mint flavor. This product works by removing surface stains & helping to prevent future stains. You’ll want to use the mouth rinse twice a day, do not swallow.

Colgate Optic White Platinum Stain-Less White Anticavity Fluoride Toothpaste contains hydrogen peroxide for deep-set stain removal and its enamel safe. If you’re a coffee, wine or soda drinker, this toothpaste is for you! It’s in a cool mint flavor which tastes pretty good!

Colgate Optic White Platinum High Impact White Anticavity Fluoride Toothpaste will help to whiten your teeth 4 shades visibly whiter and starts working in 3 days. It’s enamel safe and comes in a wonderful glistening mint flavor.

Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Built-In Whitening Pen is what I call a 2-in-1 product. It’s your daily toothbrush and comes with a built-in whitening pen! What’s really cool is that this toothbrush and the built-in whitening pen starts working in 1 day and can whiten your teeth 5 shades whiter! You simply brush your teeth as you normally do, once done you apply the whitening gel from the pen (takes seconds to apply) and then go! There is no waiting for it to dry and no rinsing.

My husband and I both decided to give this system a try. Let’s face it…we all want whiter teeth! Before I get started with sharing my thoughts with all of you, I first want to state that I have EXTREMELY sensitive teeth. I was a little worried that this system would irritate my sensitivity and to my pleasant surprise…I was able to use all 4 of the products with no problems at all.

One of the things we both liked about the Colgate Optic White products is the flavors. You can go from one product to the next and not be gagged out with different or similar flavors. None of them were over-whelming and they never left a bitter after-taste. We followed all of the directions that came on each package and I really recommend that you read them if you’re using the products for the first time.

So, how did we do? Within 2 weeks we noticed that my husband’s teeth appeared about 3-4 shades whiter. He had no sensitivities using the products. For myself, I noticed 2 shades whiter. I knew my teeth would be a little bit more difficult to whiten since I’m a heavy coffee and iced tea drinker. With that said, I’m extremely pleased to see them whiter and I know as we continue to use the products that we’ll get even better results!

Finally, I want to mention the Colgate Optic White Toothbrush. With or without that built-in whitening pen…it’s the BEST toothbrush that I’ve ever used. I love how it fits in my hand and it has these super-cool built-in polishing bristles. That toothbrush is worth the price of gold. Just-saying!!!
