Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 24 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with the product, specifically with the new formulas of Colgate toothpastes, citing issues like increased teeth sensitivity, horrible taste, and a bitter aftertaste. Customers also frequently reported problems with the quality of the toothpaste, experiencing burning sensations, irritation around their mouths, swollen lips, and even peeling skin inside their mouths. The price of the products was also a point of contention for many, with some feeling that the expensive toothpastes did not deliver on their promises. Though some people were satisfied with a Colgate soft toothbrush, finding it effective and gentle on gums, the majority of complaints centered on the negative changes to the toothpaste formulas and packaging, including difficult-to-use tubes and caps.

I used teeth whitening pen

I used teeth whitening pen. After one use within seconds it hardened and burned everything it touched. I was scared to ever use it again and threw it out. Big waste of money.

A company that cheats customers

A company that cheats customers

How can be possible that you buy a box of 17 cm and inside the box, there is a toothpaste with just 14.5 cm size? This is stealing at the customer's face. This is the kind of company that does not care about people and just wants more and more revenue. Now I'm gonna stop to consume this brand that steals on people faces
