Full review

I bought this heavily advertised and overpriced toothpaste on my way out from work last week on impulse, I had seen the ads, and thought it looked great on the tv.

Apparently it has a 'bursts into foam' action, reaching all those places the toothbrush can't get to. The packaging was also attractive and different from the others.

~How much and where from?~

This cost me £2.45 from Tesco. I dont know what made me get this really as other brands were alot cheaper, and Tesco's own was less than half the price of this.

It can be bought everywhere that sells toothpaste...Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury, Safeway Boots and Superdrug...all of them and others.

~What does it look like?~

The tube comes in a see throught plastic box, unlike others which come in cardbourd. So on the environmentally friendliness side this does not score well.

The tube inside is and aqua-blue metalic effect with the Aquafresh logo in the corner near the lid. Under this is the extreme clean logo, which has two back to back brackets as the 'X'.

The lid is nothing special, no flip top lid, just a screw cap. This is better in a way as the tube can be stood up to avoid it rolling into the basin every 5 minutes.

~How easy is it to use?~

Come on, everyone over the age of 3 knows how to use toothpaste! If you dont though, Im not coming near you without a gas mask!

Brush three times a day so I feel cleaner. For children under 7, use a pea-sized amount and supervise brushing to avoid the child swallowing.

If using flouride suppliments consult your dentist.

~How does it taste?~

This has a, lets just say, strange, taste. It doesn't actually say on the tube what flavour it is on the tube, or what flavour it is supposed to be. It might on the tube but I have thrown that in the bin.

Im just assuming its meant to be mint flavoured. But when you actually start to brush, it has more of a 'Dettol' flavour than mint. Its not disgusting, its just strange.

The actual paste has the familiar Aquafresh stripes, blue red and white.

~How does it clean~

It cleans well from what I have seen so-far. My teeth do actually look cleaner straight after brushing, and my mouth has never fealt cleaner than after using this.

It is meant to burst into foam in your mouth, according to that tv advertisment, but you can not feel this at all, so Im assuming it just doesnt.

~Overall~

I think this is quite a good paste in terms of freshening your mouth and cleaning your teeth. The taste may be quite odd but I am impressed.

I am dissapointed in the foam bursting action, or lack of it. Lies! I am not sure wether I will be buying this again because I also like Macleans whitening.

I give it 5 stars, taking one off for no foaming and the high price for what you get.
