Colgate Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Whitening Pen Review

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 :)

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.
