Choosing between the Spicy Fresh (Red) and Peppermint Ice (Blue) variants of Colgate MaxFresh comes down to the kind of sensory “wake-up call” you prefer. Both utilize Colgate’s signature Cooling Crystals—small strips that dissolve as you brush to release a burst of menthol.
Comparison: Red vs. Blue
| Feature | Spicy Fresh (Red Gel) | Peppermint Ice (Blue Gel) |
