Be aware! Colgate changed the package and the formula, but seller shows the picture of the old one!
I was using Gel-Kam for 20 years, but previously, it was sold in green/red package as advertised here, on Amazon. The problem, that you will not receive the green/red package - you will receive blue/red package with a different product. It looks like Colgate changed the formula and the packaging, but sellers do not advertise it properly. The seller has to advertise the picture of the product they actually sell. The formula in green/red package was different - it was not stanous fluoride - it was sodium flouride. The stanous fluoride doesn't work for me at all - maybe it works for people with less sensitivity. Colgate probably went back to what Gel-Kam used to be many many years ago - it was sold by prescription only and I don't mind calling my dentist and ask for prescription. But I do mind that Colgate changed the packaging and formula, but didn't change the name of the product and I do mind that the seller shows the old picture of the old package/formula, but will send you the new package/formula - this is misleading and stealing. Not only I lost the money I paid, but I have lost precious time - I literally can't live without proper fluoride formula - I am in pain and can't eat or drink normally. BTW I contacted the seller and they answered to me that they sell this product by the sku number(?). I see that they ignored my warning about advertising wrong picture of the product - therefore I decided to give people a warning.
