Colgate Gum Invigorate Revitalise Toothpaste 75 ml

Product Information

Children can use the same toothpaste as their parents, although kids aged three and under should just use a pea-sized blob. 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. DHB has been a leading supplier of Oral Hygiene products to dental practices across the UK and Ireland since 1978. It’s incredibly minty – something we didn’t expect, given our previously mentioned issues with gum irritation when using ultra-minty toothpastes – but surprisingly, our gums weren’t irritated at all, and the paste’s almost granular-consistency did a fantastic job of deep cleaning our teeth. 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.

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. It’s a great option if you’re looking to incorporate whitening power into a toothpaste which is also a brilliant all-rounder – the paste, which is described as containing farm-grown mint (although we’re not sure where else mint would be grown) left our mouths feeling wonderfully fresh, and the consistency was spot-on – thick enough for it to feel as though it was sloughing away stains, but easy to rinse away after brushing.

This wasn’t exactly the hardest testing session considering (like most people, we hope) we brush our teeth at least twice a day. We were initially concerned about the mention of the light foam used to calm sensitivity, but the foam was minimal, which came as a relief – nobody likes the frothing-at-the-mouth look, after all. The taste was pleasant and really longlasting, but can't quite put my finger on what it is, slightly minty with a touch of something else, but definitely not overpowering, and best of all, not gritty like a lot of other toothpastes. No – but what definitely will do is the use of bacteria-busting ginseng (which left our mouth feeling fabulously fresh) and a combination of minerals chosen to protect, strengthen and deep-clean teeth. With over 40 years’ experience in the market we are able to offer you a full range of products with brands including Oral B, Colgate and Tepe.

This toothpaste is thicker than most formulas – a thick transparent gel which was slightly minty but surprisingly sweet. Want whiter brighter teeth but don’t want to slather them in chemicals or undergo expensive professional treatments? There’s only a hint of mintiness to this toothpaste, which relies on the approach we’re increasingly seeing in skincare – that it’s important to protect the biome, which is the flora and fauna which thrives not just on our skin, but in our mouths.We loved Colgate’s decision to offer a nod to old-school toothpastes by creating a toothpaste with dual stripes built into the paste – in this case, pale orange and white stripes. These include green tea, used for its deodorising action and extra fluoride to prevent dental cavities. Sorbitol, Aqua, Hydrated Silica, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Glycerin, Aroma, Zinc Oxide, Cellulose Gum, Zinc Citrate, Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate, Benzyl Alcohol, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Saccharin, Sodium Fluoride, Xanthan Gum, Mica, Sucralose, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Eugenol, Limonene, Linalool, CI 77492, CI 77891.

If you’re prone to sensitivity, look for whitening toothpastes which use naturally-derived silicas or hydrated silica to provide the abrasion, rather than overly granulated formulas. We do, however, wish it had a different colour to the rather odd, pale pink hue of this thick toothpaste, which had a taste packing a hint of mint alongside a slightly salty note. 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. This is a toothpaste which left our mouth and teeth feeling brilliantly clean without the irritation we’ve come to associate with pastes that double down on the cleaning power.We honed in on a number of aspects, including stain removal, irritation reduction and mouth freshness. 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. As to the consistency, it's actually quite runny and soft compared to others, it does make it easier to get out of the tube, but sometimes wonder if I'm going to drip it. Luvbiotics claims to be the first brand to rely on dental probiotics in its formulations – an approach which (in theory) improves oral hygiene through balancing oral flora.

Because children often brush more rigorously than adults, they may need their toothbrushes replaced more often. The silver lining to our addiction to both tea and anything sweet meant our mouths were the perfect testing ground for these toothpastes. Hello naturally whitening fluoride toothpaste is proof that toothpastes packed with natural ingredients can provide unbeatable cleaning power, taste delicious and look pretty stylish, too. That said, this is a wonderfully minty toothpaste which left our teeth – and mouth – feeling fabulously, thoroughly clean. The chunky metal packaging was a source of frustration – it will undoubtedly contribute more to landfill than the average toothpaste tube, and we had to rummage around our bathroom cabinet to find something to pierce the metal seal.With its metallic letters and sleek tapered tube, it also provides a designer-inspired upgrade for your bathroom cabinet. 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. Aspects like long-term stain removal and plaque reduction were harder to prove, but our testing sessions – which took place over several weeks – provided more than enough time to evaluate claims relating to these issues. Colgate Gum Invigorate Revitalise Toothpaste contains minerals and ginseng extract to help invigorate your gums for firmly protected teeth, day after day.
