I was recently selected to receive the Colgate Optic White VoxBox from Influenster. This included the Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Built-In Whitening Pen.
I have always been a fan of Colgate products so when I found out I would be able to try a brand new product I was elated. In addition to the new toothbrush, a whitening pen made me even more excited. I’ve tried so many different kinds of whitening products and continue to try and find a great one.
So far I have been using this toothbrush combo for 4 days; brushing morning and evening. With that being said, my rating is currently a 7 out of 10. Keep reading to see what I like and dislike about this product.
Like I mentioned, I have only been using this for 4 days. Below is my comparison of Day 1 compared to Day 4.
As you might be able to tell, or not tell, I can’t quite seem to feel that I see much of a difference. Labeled on the box it says “Whiter teeth in 2 days.” I will mention that my lighting is quite bright when I took the photos so it might be deceiving the image a little. However, in my day to day routine, I do not feel that my overall whiteness has really changed. Usually with any of the whitening products that I’ve tried it takes a good 2 weeks before I can really notice a difference; this is why I’m disclaiming it’s only been 4 days. I plan to continue to use the whitening pen and see if my mind changes, but 2 days for me was not the case.
The good part about not seeing results in 2 days is that it was my only major con to this product! There are many positives that I enjoy with this. The first obvious plus is the toothbrush itself. The whitening pen is kept nicely in the bottom of the toothbrush!
What a plus to be able to keep everything in a nice little package. The pen is storage neatly in the bottom and helps keep the applicator tip covered.
My next plus and this is a big one, the whitening gel does not leave my teeth sensitive. I’ve tried whitening strips that after 3 uses have left me unable to drink cold beverages without using a straw! After using this a total of 8 times in a row, I have yet to feel any sensitivity to cold items. What a great advantage!
My next and last plus to the whitening pen is that the gel applies easily and does not leave a sticky, messy, residue on my teeth. When first applied it can be a little “gooey” but within a matter of seconds the gel is gone. The box recommends to use 2 clicks each of top and bottom, which seems to be the perfect amount. Now, I am still a little on the fence about this fact as this may be the answer as to why I’m not seeing a difference in the white of my teeth. This is the first whitening pen I’ve tried as I’ve always been skeptical of if they actually work and don’t just get absorbed by my saliva. I’m going to continue to use the pen and see if I can be proved wrong.
Overall like I mentioned earlier I give the Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Built-In Whitening Pen a 7 out of 10. I love taking care of my teeth and smile and if gaining whiter teeth is just a matter of Brush, Whiten, and Go then I’m more than willing to try!
