Colgate Optic White Overnight Teeth Whitening Pen, 35 Mint Treatments

This works I promise and it is easy. I have had similar results with other whitening products but none have been as easy to use as this, but I have had longer lasting results with some of those.

It lasted me about 2 weeks, it says you'll only have to click it once for every four teeth but I found myself doing more clicks until I could see wetness on the brush. It did whiten my teeth though. The packaging is also super wasteful and I would buy an alternative if anyone else sold an overnight whitening pen with no taste to it. Why does it look like a makeup container with a metal body? Who needs to carry this with them every day? (Remember, it's for overnight use) And what's with the sturdy plastic stand that comes with it even when you buy a 1 pack? If it can be kept in a purse then it doesn't need a stand to keep it upright. If it needs to be kept upright then it can't be kept in a purse and hence doesn't need the fancy metal body. Pick one at least, Colgate! A thin plastic pen with a single flat side to keep it from rolling off a counter would be my suggestion here.

This product is quite easy to use, Colgate offers instructions which is super helpful, my tip: follow the instructions. The serum did take close to 20 clicks to appear as stated in the directions. They are easy to follow and helpful. Important to note: you don’t really feel the serum on until you run your tongue across your teeth. It doesn’t have a taste but the smell while putting it on is quite strong. Lastly, when cleaning the brush, don’t use water. Use a dry paper towel and wipe the brush on it in order to clean the serum off of it. My only concern is that I have to wear a retainer at night, therefore I’m not sure if I can wear both, the serum and my retainer. For the question: does it work? I honestly haven’t used it long enough to know if it works for me or not. However, everyone’s outcome will be different, some may see a difference, some may not. Since everyone’s teeth needs are different, I don’t have a suitable answer at this time regarding if it works or not. But so far, the directions included in the box have been easy to follow. Hope this helps!

I tend to write long reviews, so here’s a quick list of positives and negatives of the whitening pen. This may also answer some questions you have about using the whitening pen: Positives: -Actually whitened my teeth! -No bad taste -No irritation/pain -Easy to apply -Nice packaging Negatives: -Did not last as long as the box said it would (lasted 1.5 weeks instead of the 30 usages the box promised) -You have completely to dry off your teeth and then paint on the solution on each individual tooth (I personally didn’t mind this. It just took a little while to do) -If you paint over wet teeth, it will ruin the brush -The solution easily clumps up in areas on teeth after it dries (this didn’t bother me much, but thought it was worth mentioning) Okay so here’s my more in depth review: I’ve tried just about every whitening toothpaste on the market, charcoal, baking soda, and more, with no results. I heard about this pen and thought I’d give it a try. I was a bit nervous because I can have sensitive gums, but I felt no irritation whatsoever! The pen lasted exactly a week and a half before I used it all up (so it did not last the 30x stated on the box!). In that time, I can honestly say my teeth look whiter! I was pleasantly surprised. Believe me, the yellow on my teeth was stubborn! I may purchase the pen again to whiten my teeth even more. However, I noticed a few things about the pen that might be considered negatives to some people. First of all, you have to COMPLETELY dry your teeth before “painting” on the whitening solution with the pen. Otherwise, the solution gets all clumpy and dries up on the brush, which will ruin it. Also, be aware that the pen paints this solution on your teeth and sort of leaves a thin film/coating over your teeth overnight. The solution doesn’t have a taste or anything, but you will definitely want to brush your teeth in the morning to get it all off. Also, be aware that the solution will clump up in places on your teeth when it dries. I was not aware that that was how the pen works when I bought it, but looking back, I noticed that most of the negative reviews focused around the white clumpyness of the solution on your teeth. This honestly didn’t bother me much, though it was a little bit of a hassle to dry off my teeth and get an even coating on each tooth. Additionally, you will only be able to whiten your front teeth, as it is to hard to dry off and paint the teeth at the back of the mouth. Overall, I am pleasantly surprised and impressed by this whitening tool. I’ve tried so many different things and this is the first that has worked! If you are okay with the few “negatives” than definitely purchase this product! I would purchase this again! As a note, I tried to take before and after pictures but because of bad lighting, they didn’t turn out. But I did see a huge improvement in my teeth’s whitening!
