Advantages: Intense minty flavour, good value Disadvantages: Could provide longer-lasting freshness
...Colgate is undoubtedly one of the most established brands of toothpaste in the UK and indeed worldwide. But did you know the company is 200 years old? No neither did I - just take a look at their website if you don't believe me! When it comes to toothpaste, I am loyal to two main brands - Aquafresh and Colgate. I tend to buy several tubes of whichever one happens to be on offer when I go shopping. My latest purchase was two tubes of Colgate Oxygen for £3 from Tesco - a saving of 88p. I had not bought this particular variety before, but was intrigued to find out how well it fared compared to my usual Aquafresh toothpaste.
Colgate Oxygen toothpaste comes in a standard sized box, with the Colgate logo embossed across the front. To the right of this are the words 'Oxygen Pure Freshness' and in the background are lots of small blue bubbles...

Advantages: Good taste and totally freshens mouth! Disadvantages: More expensive than other brands.
...I am always on the look out for offers when shopping and seeing Colgate Oxygen on a BOGOF in my local supermarket a few months ago I decided to give it a try.
I rarely buy Colgate due to it being quite a bit more expensive than other brands but since one tube worked out at just 97p for 100ml it was the same as the usual 'cheaper' brands I use.

As with most tube toothpastes this comes in a cuboid box, within which is a squeezable tube with a flip top lid, which I must point out should really be closed after...

Advantages: NICE MINTY TASTE Disadvantages: CAN BE EXPENSIVE, A BIT MISLEADING
...Colgate Oxygen Toothpaste
Colgate 'Oxygen' toothpaste is produced by Colgate-Palmolive. It was the Colgate comapny that first produced 'toothpaste in a tube' (c1896), previous to that it was kept in a jar, no doubt next to their false teeth lol.
The Packaging
A light bluse box over laid with red at one end with the Colgate logo in white on top with pictures of bubbles at the other end. I brought the 100ml tube for £2.00 at superdrug. To be honest with you I'm not usually that fussy when buying toothpaste, when faced with racks and racks of the stuff I go for the reduced or special offers.
On the box Colgate claim's that this toothpaste provides
* Prue Freshness
* Long lasting fresh breath
* Care and Protection for your teeth and gums
But it's biggest claim is that it 'gently' lifts away plaque and impurities...
