Colgate Gum Invigorate Toothbrush [Colours May Vary]

Product Information

We also loved the hit of natural mint – unlike with many toothpastes, it lacked the sickly sweet mintiness which appears to be increasingly common, and which is almost certainly down to Luvbiotics greater reliance on xylitol as a natural sweetener. Colgate Link Whitening Replaceable Head Toothbrush has been beautifully designed with a premium aluminium handle that you can use and reuse for as long as you like.

Our main gripe with this fluoride-heavy toothpaste relates to the dispensing mechanism, which squirts out long, thin strands of toothpaste which we then had to balance on our toothbrush. This wasn’t exactly the hardest testing session considering (like most people, we hope) we brush our teeth at least twice a day. It’s a love/hate toothpaste – when sniffing it for the first time, a fellow tester commented “why do I want to taste like a naan bread? It’s one of the most stylish toothpastes out there, but probably not the best option if you’re expecting a deep clean.As brushers with a history of gum sensitivity, we’re huge fans of Corsodyl mouthwash, and although, as with any toothpaste, many of the claims are hard to quantify, we’ve no doubt that this toothpaste does what Corsodyl promises. Sodium bicarbonate helps lift away light stains, while a combination of natural flavour oils – including wild mint and peppermint – provided a wonderful freshness free from the artificial tang found in many toothpastes.

Colgate does not represent or warrant the accuracy of any statements or product claims made here, nor endorses any opinions expressed within this section. With its metallic letters and sleek tapered tube, it also provides a designer-inspired upgrade for your bathroom cabinet. The sweetness comes from propolis – the sticky brown resin deposited near the entrances of beehives. This bright blue toothpaste comes with a long list of claims – it will, according to the blurb, prevent cavities, prevent plaque, protect against sensitivity, prevent tartar, prevent enamel erosion, freshen breath and whiten teeth. Then again, perhaps we should be wondering why we’ve become so accustomed to dazzlingly white toothpastes, and should be questioning which ingredients are used to create this effect.

Enriched with hemp seed oil, this sensitive toothpaste will leave you with a lovely, soothing sensation every time you brush. This bright white toothpaste didn’t offer the overload of mint we’re increasingly coming across in our toothpastes – which is a good thing in our book, because as brushers prone to gum sensitivity, we often find it’s the mintiest toothpastes that irritate our gums the most. No, it won’t give you the ridiculously whitened smile of celebs like Simon Cowell or Rylan Clark, but what it will do is remove light stains for lighter, brighter teeth. It’s used here for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, and a host of other ingredients cover various bases. It’s proof that toothpastes free from nasties don’t mean inferior cleaning power – after prolonged use we noticed a definite reduction in tea-related stains, and we loved the sensation of freshness.
