While browsing WinMart on B1 of Vincom Mega Mall Thao Dien in Ho Chi Minh City's District 2, I stumbled upon the Watsons next door. To my surprise, Watsons had all the trendy toothpastes that have been going viral on social media lately! We're talking about the limited edition Colgate Christmas toothpaste, Harry Potter toothpaste, and the adorable Heart toothpaste – all the popular ones travelers have been snapping up as unique Vietnam souvenirs. What a find!

While most visitors to Vietnam stick to larger supermarkets like Lotte Mart or Tops Market, Watsons is actually a hidden gem for unique, limited-edition beauty items and those sought-after souvenir toothpastes!

Harry Potter toothpaste? Heart toothpaste? Yes, you heard that right! These are high-fluoride toothpastes from Colgate, exclusively sold in Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. I really wish they'd launch them in the US! Before my trip to Vietnam, I had no idea these existed, but they are incredibly cute. Who would have thought to put such fun designs into toothpaste? It's clear why people are hunting them down in various stores and taking them home as unique souvenirs.

Important Note:

While these toothpastes are adorable, many of the Colgate MaxFresh lines are high-fluoride and not suitable for children. Only the blue Harry Potter 'Bubbling Cauldron' toothpaste (bubblegum flavored) is specifically for kids. (However, that one doesn't have the cute internal designs, which might explain its relatively lower price.)

Check out the Colgate Harry Potter and Christmas toothpastes!

There are two Harry Potter toothpastes: the one on the right with the golden shimmer is for adults.

The blue toothpaste (#1) is for children.

The Harry Potter Bubbling Cauldron Kids Toothpaste is about ~$3 and has a sweet bubble fruit flavor.

The Harry Potter Sorting Hat Toothpaste (with the house sorting hat design) costs about ~$4.

This features a transparent golden peppermint gel with tiny magic hat-shaped flakes. The exciting part? Each box reveals one of the four Hogwarts house crests – Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff! It's a fantastic package for Harry Potter fans, letting them discover their house assignment!

These were quite hard to find even in Vietnam, so I actually snagged mine on a trip to Malaysia! (Talk about a true hunt for souvenirs!)

The Colgate Merry Christmas Toothpaste is a limited-edition fruit punch flavored toothpaste, featuring tree-shaped flakes inside a festive Christmas tree package. It's priced at 84,000 VND (originally 99,000 VND), which is approximately ~$3.

It's adorable, but a little smaller than it looks! While other toothpastes are 100g, this one is 95g. The large packaging almost fooled me!

The Colgate MaxFresh Rainbow Fresh Heart Toothpaste is priced at 49,000 VND, which is approximately ~$2.

(Note: The price of 54,000 VND shown in the photo is from a Mini Stop convenience store, indicating Watsons might have a better deal).

This toothpaste features a transparent gel packed with colorful mini heart flakes, so every time you squeeze it onto your toothbrush, hearts just pour out!

Next to it, the Watermelon Blast and Berry Magic toothpastes are also 49,000 VND (~$2) each, the same price as the Heart toothpaste. They only differ in flavor and the shape of the flakes inside. You can grab a few different ones to suit your taste – they're such a steal!

(In the US, these are almost impossible to find, often reselling for ~$4-6 each on online marketplaces, with Harry Potter versions fetching around ~$7-8!)

The shelves were also filled with other popular MaxFresh toothpastes and the Optic White lineup.

Optic White is another famous toothpaste, known for its whitening benefits and frequently seen endorsed by celebrities on social media. I'll definitely pick one up when it's on sale!

To think that both the Harry Potter and Christmas toothpastes, which are hard to find even in Vietnam, were right there at my local Watsons! The Christmas toothpaste, with its holographic gold tree packaging and festive tube design, just screamed holiday spirit. I didn't hesitate and bought all four remaining tubes! If you're traveling to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, around November or December 2026, make sure to stop by Watsons and stock up on these limited-edition toothpastes!

When you're browsing Watsons or other supermarkets in Vietnam, having reliable internet data is a must for translating product info with AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini, or for comparing prices!
