Colgate Optic White Teeth Whitening Diary

One week: 

You can definitely see the difference!  I do have plaque stains on my two front teeth that I have had for years now, hopefully after using this product they go away completely!

Colgate Optic White VoxBox

I was extremely excited when I found out I was qualified for my second voxbox!  After all, it's been a year since I have received one.  Let's get down to it shall we?

This Voxbox comes with a Colgate Optic White Toothbrush, built-in whitening pen, whitening toothpaste, and six three dollar off coupons for your next Colgate Optic White Toothbrush. 
How it Works: Our advanced whitening formula in the whitening pen goes beyond surface stains to deeply whiten teeth.  So you can get whiter teeth in just 2 days.

I have tried countless amounts of whitening products such as toothpastes, whitening strips, and mouth washes, however my teeth just do not want to be whitened.  So when I received this voxbox I did not expect to work because of my disappointing history of  whitening products, but I have noticed slightly positive results! 

Whitening Pen:  I received this voxbox about a week ago and I have been using the products ever since.  The whitening pen is so convenient that I enjoy using it every night after brushing my teeth!   All you need to do is paint the paste on and voila!  You can just go to bed, no need for rinsing or anything!  After use, the toothbrush has a handy slot the pen can slide in.  Can't get anymore organized than that!  The directions say that 2 clicks for the bottom and top teeth should be enough, however sometimes I go for 3 just to make sure it is enough. Like whitening strips I only apply the paste to the teeth that are visible when I smile.  Applying the product to the teeth that will not be seen seems a bit wasteful.  The paste does not taste unpleasant, at all.  It almost tastes like the toothpaste but maybe with a mintier taste. Although, the paste is a bit thicker than the toothpaste, it can make the lips feel dry if it accidentally gets on them.  On the second day of usage I did not notice my teeth getting any whiter, however on the seventh day, my mom pointed out that my teeth had been slightly whiter.  Imagine how white my teeth would be after using this every night for a month!  Now, the directions do say to use the toothpaste and pen two times a day for better results, but I really do not have the time to do it in the morning because I am always rushing to get ready.

Toothbrush:  I really like the toothbrush.  It is a bit bulkier than normal toothbrushes, but only because it also holds the whitening pen.  The whitening caps really do their job when trying to get to all the teeth. The back of the brush also comes with a tongue scraper which is always convenient.  I find that my breath stays fresh longer after I have used the tongue scraper.

Toothpaste:  I have used this toothpaste before and I did not notice any whitening effects.  I feel as if the whitening pen is the star product out of the whole voxbox.   Using this with the whitening pen is probably what makes whitening more effective.  I am not so crazy about the taste, like I said, I have used this before so I am used to it, but some of you may not enjoy it.  I cannot really describe it, it just tastes like plain mint.  Not like regular mint flavored toothpaste that tastes sweet or refreshing.  It just tastes like mint. 

Rating:  4.5 out of 5 stars


Final Verdict:  I highly recommend these products!  They are reliable and more effective than many other whitening products!  As far as whitening goes, I think the whitening pen and whitening toothpaste combined makes teeth whitening much more effective!
