Although this product has a bit of residue, it proves to be a great product. I like how it leaves my breath at the end of brushing. I often struggle with natural toothpastes because they tend to taste bad. this stuff doesnt taste as bad as other naturals out there. Nor does it carry the same amount of residue as some of those others.

**Intro** You don't need many things from a toothpaste. You want it to leave you with a lasting good taste and want it to at least perform it's most basic function, and that's cleaning your teeth. Ot at least that's what I look for. My father brushed his teeth for years with baking soda, knowing it was cleaning his teeth, apparently not caring that much about taste. **Name** Crest Nature's Expressions Toothpaste. The name invokes certain images in my mind. It makes me think it's going back to those basic needs, or even back to the baking soda aspect that my dad refused to stray from for so many years. And with flavors like Pure Peppermint Oil, Lemon and Mint, and Mint and Green Tea Extracts, it leaves the suggestion that that it will have the added benefit of good taste. **Taste** While there's no way to prove if Crest Nature's Expressions Toothpaste is doing the same job we expect from a regular Crest Toothpaste until it would be far too late, it does taste good. I tried the Pure Peppermint Oil, and it seemed to not have the strong immediate aftertaste that the regular Crest Toothpaste tends to have. Although the flavor still can't beat that of a Crest flavor since retired that was orange, that we affectionately called the "Dreamsicle Toothpaste," as it honestly tasted like the frozen treat of our youth. **Heavy Residue** The oddest effect of Crest Nature's Expressions Toothpaste is a strange heavy residue it leaves on my toothbrush. When I retrieve my toothbrush from the holder to use it again, the bristles are rock hard every time. And this happens even if I rinse it out so thoroughly, there can't be anything left on it. It seems like it has to be sugar related, and regardless of what's causing it, if it leaves that on my toothbrush, what's it leaving on my teeth? **Summary** I'm not willing to invest the years it would take to prove that this toothpaste does or doesn't work, as the only way to tell for sure means it's already done some type of permanent damage to your teeth. It's just not worth it to me.

I have tried Crest Nature's expressions in two different varieties.  I tried the peppermint oil kind and now I'm trying the mint and green tea extract variety.  I'm especially excited about the green tea extract since I know that green tea has lots of antioxidants in it.  I like that the flavoring in these toothpastes comes from nature instead of a chemical lab.  I also like that it has some gentle whitening properties.  I worry about the harshness of traditional whitening toothpastes but this product seems to be gentler.  I don't know if it actually has helped whiten my teeth but perhaps I haven't used it long enough.  This toothpaste leaves my mouth feeling fresh and clean.  I like it better then a lot of the other mint toothpastes on the market.  It is not sicky sweet like some toothpastes seem to be.  My teeth seem to feel better and my breath smells better after using this toothpaste.  I think this is a great toothpaste.

Ok, I have used numerous toothpastes in the past and this is by far the best!! I always seemed to swallow toothpaste. Just a small amount not huge. And I would get a horrible stomach ache and could never figure out why. I switched to this kind of toothpaste and guess what? My stomach aches had mysteriously gone away. I soon realized that it was because of the toothpaste I was using!! Not only does this stuff freshen your breathe, my teeth look really white after I use it too! My grandma even asked me the other day what kind of toothpaste I used because she originally thought I whitened my teeth. If you are trying to find a new toothpaste or get stomach aches like I do "mysteriously" after you brush your teeth, use this stuff! Mine went away immediately! I know I will continue using this stuff! I don't want to switch back to having stomach aches first thing in the morning! Thanks Crest for this amazing product!

I'm not a big fan of peppermint,  and sometimes if im late for school i forget to brush my teeth. But ever since my mom bought me this toothpaste, i've always looked forward to brushing my teeth. Why? Because the fresh and natural taste the peppermint gives off is genuine flavor--not like the store brand's artificial ingredients. Plus, I can safely dispose the tube when I'm finished (Which might be very soon.) My family and I are VERY eco-friendly, and that's how we like our toothpaste. I also love the box that it comes in. That's what attracted my mother to it. She's trying to quit smoking and the toothpaste has done an outstanding job brightening up her teeth and fighting off the gross tooth tartar. My younger brothers prefer this one over the kind this the baking soda. It hasn't made that much of an impact on my life, but as I pack up my things for college, I'm definitely putting it into my bag.

I love Crest. I think it is a true toothpaste brand. Not all the other guys that are trying to make a clone of the same thing. That is dumb. It is like the diet pill comecial. Why are there so many if they work. I think it is one company making all of them trying to get everyone they can just to servive. Crest is a true brand and will always have those people who are loyal to their brand.

A simply wonderful product from Crest. Anyone who tries this product will not be disappointed. I came upon it by accident and since then I just cant stop using it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.  It not only has a great taste but leaves your breath smelling so clean and fresh. A definite product for if you are going on a first date. I will leave your teeth pure white and at the same time your mouth will be so attractive. Kissibly attractive. Try it.......And the good thing about it is that it is from CREST....A name I have known my entire life. A name I can trust
