Colgate Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Whitening Pen Review

Noticed a slight improvement only after a friend pointed it out lol. Did work but nowhere near the extent promised :( with longer term use I imagine it would make a difference, or at the least prevent future staining, will keep the pen for touch ups but the toothbrush itself is bulky and annoying.

Definitely whitened my teeth. I used it every morning after brushing and just left it on and went about my day. Had quite a few comments after about a week of using. Haven't seen it in the supermarket for a while so a bit bummed about that. Minus one star for the cost.

So... I've tried a few whitening pens in my time, I'm a smoker and a tea drinker!

I purchased the pen and toothpaste in a pack, and tried it over a 30 day period (guys, whitening isn't magic, it takes time) but little did I anticipate that it would take as long as this did.

After 30 days, I used the little colour chart they included and it had lifted maybe 1 shade if any.

Considering the awkward application of the whitening pen, it definitely wasn't worth it in my books.

I loved the toothbrush. Big and bulky, and cleans teeth thoroughly, but i found that the whitening pen burns a little, and didn’t really whiten my teeth much.

If you want something to whiten up your teeth without having to pay for an expensive whitening kit I would highly highly recommend this. I've always had slightly yellow teeth but when I use the whitening pen they whiten so much. Obviously it's not as good as a whitening treatment and I personally don't use it twice a day every single day but really it works so well. I think it's totally worth the price (I think I got it for $25) and the pen lasts a surprisingly long time. I know you're meant to replace your toothbrush regularly so if you're someone who does do that it's so easy to just keep the pen and use a cheaper toothbrush until it runs out. It doesn't dry out the product inside the pen or anything like that to leave it out of the toothbrush. Oh I should explain, the whitening pen fits into the bottom of the toothbrush so it's like a handle, then you just pull it out and apply it to your teeth as you need it. 2 clicks for your top front teeth, 2 clicks for your bottom row of teeth. Because of the way the pen is designed it's practically impossible to overuse the product. Once you've had it for a long time it can get kinda difficult to slot the pen into the brush but this doesn't bother me at all, personally. Just make sure you don't accidentally end up throwing the pen halfway across the room when it slides out like I do!

That whitening pen is not great, no big noticeable difference in whitening and it burns. The toothbrush is just a normal toothbrush you could buy from anywhere. Not worth the price.
