Subpar. You get what you pay for.
I am not satisfied with the product. I bought it because it seemed like a bargain at $7.52 USD for six big tubes of Colgate. I usually buy Colgate Total, which is very expensive, so I jumped on it without researching first. Unfortunately, as I started using it, I could tell this was not the caliber of Colgate I was used to.
Apparently, this is their budget line that is made in Mexico, as opposed to NJ, USA. When you squeeze it out of the tube, it is watery. It doesn't drip, but you can tell it has a much higher water content and will slide off your brush more easily. I would describe this as a dollar store toothpaste, right down to the old style cap that doesn't stand upright.
As for the price, it's not such a bargain when you consider how high the water content is. Also, the price here on Amazon is not some out of the ordinary deal. Other stores sell this tube at comparable prices per ounce if you do the math. If you are used to the Total brand's high price, it seems like a wholesale bulk deal when you first see this. After a bit of research, I assure you, it is not.
---PROS---
Cheap price per ounce of toothpaste.
---CONS---
High water content; diluted.
Flavor is not as strong compared to Total.
Mouth doesn't feel as clean compared to Total.
Old style cap that doesn't stand upright on its own.
Hecho en Mexico.
