Colgate Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Whitening Pen Review

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah, I seen this on a commercial one day and knew then and there - I had to have it!!

I bought it from the supermarket for like $29.99 and apparently it was on special then, but you know I was like well if it whitens my teeth then I really dont mind, show me the results!

Its quite exciting to use, if I'm honest. I got a few of my other family members keen to give it a go (I must be the cool kid of the family haha). So you brush your teeth like normal and then detach the whitening pen and kind of just smudge it along your teeth. It doesn't really taste that good and dont get me wrong, it did whiten my teeth - but not as I would have thought. I dont know, maybe my expectations were too high but i think the media really made it out to be waay better than it ended up being.

I didnt buy it again once the pen run out. I bought a $10-$15 teeth whitening toothpaste and to be honest, I am a lot happier with my results now than I was with the whitening pen.

All things aside, it did make brushing your teeth a fun event :)

I had relatively high expectations for this product as I had heard a lot about it and it seemed to get good reviews.

I bought the Colgate optic white toothpaste at the same time (which I liked better) and used both products as suggested. I brushed my teeth first then used the whitening pen. I think that the packaging was clever with the whitening pen fitting into the bottom of the toothbrush.

The first issue that I had was that there was no instructions on how long to leave it on your teeth for! I found this to be a huge issue for several reasons: 1) It said to avoid contact with gums etc, however if I closed my mouth it would touch my cheeks and it was hard to avoid my gums when applying. To keep my mouth open wide to avoid contact was hard and painful. 2) It also said not to swallow and I found this hard to avoid if I were to leave it on over night. 3) It did not feel nice on my teeth at all. 4) I did not want to risk leaving it on for too ling and getting sensitive teeth.

I did notice that my teeth went the tiniest amount whiter, however not enough that it waqs really noticeable. And definitely not enough to be worth the price.

I have not repurchased this product and I do not intend to. Overall it was hugely disappointing.

I brought the Colgate Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Whitening Pen because I wanted whiter teeth (funnily enough) and some of my friends had tried this and found it worked for them. That said they found it only worked when they applied it, not all day everyday. So I brought one too.

I was really excited to try the whitening pen, a pen sounded like a really assessible and effective way of whitening teeth. The first thing that went wrong was the instructions. There were lots of warnings about ingesting the product and then they didn't even tell you if you were supposed to leave the product on on what. So I left it on. It was really crunchy and tasted like being at the denists. In fact it reminded me of their polishing paste quite a lot.

And then after all that effort the effects were minimal and required a lot of maintaince.

The accompanying toothbrush I thought was just like a standard tooth brush except that you can slot the whitening pen into it. That was innovative and space efficent.
