Warpaint Natural Teeth Whitener Review

I admit I'm a skeptic when it comes to 'natural' alternatives to products that would normally use scientific chemicals to achieve proven results. I'm also a coffee addict, tea drinker and red wine lover so I suffer from less than pearly whites. Because of this I was still pretty keen to give Warpaint's Natural Teeth Whitener a go.

While waiting for my trial product to arrive I had to admit I wasn't certain on how to use this 'teeth polisher'. Did it replace my everyday toothpaste? Was it something I use in addition to brushing daily? Was it more a once-a-week thing? When the product arrived it came with a flyer that said to 'use as often as needed' and given the time limit on my trial I decided to use it as an added extra to my dental routine each day.

Warpaint comes in a small, round, black plastic tub that opens easily and closes securely. I was extremely suprised to find it was a powder, as a tooth polisher I had imagined a paste. The instructions were to dip a clean, wet toothpaste into Warpaint. It may just be me but the idea of dipping a used toothbrush into the powder over and over again didn't seem the most hygienic, but then I'm not normally a fan of loose powder products and I'm a pretty religious makeup brush washer. I chose to tip a little powder into the lid and swirl my wet tooth brush in it. I then proceeded to brush my teeth for two minutes with my lips closed as instructed.

The Warpaint itself was pretty tasteless and had a chalky consistency. Whereas with normal toothpaste I'd notice white foam about my mouth, with Warpaint you get the expected black! I then spitted and rinsed as usual.

This stuff really knows how to make a mess!! Not only the powder across the basin, but messy Warpaint when rinsing painting it black, black-dyed toothbrush and Warpaint all across my teeth.

I don't know about polishing teeth or detoxifying the mouth but this product really left it's mark on my teeth. I had to switch from using it in the morning to only at night as after using it I would brush my teeth with regular toothpaste, floss, use mouthwash and still see bits of charcoal in my mouth. Not a good look for the work day!

I've been using this product for over a week now once a day in addition to my regular dental routine and I even took before and after pictures. I haven't noticed any difference at all in the whiteness of my teeth. Maybe it needs more time, but at this point I'm pretty disapointed in the product overall. Personally I hate how messy it is and the powder format, it says you can mix with coconut oil to form a paste and I think it would be worthwhile them bringing out an alternative recreated in a tube as a ready-to-use paste. I also think the pricetag is incredibly expensive and with my lack of results in the time I have used it I won't be repurchasing or recommending this product.

I was so stoked to be trying this product. We've all tried the fad toothpastes which promise pearly whites! I must say this product delivers fantastic results.

I must admit when opening the product you cant help but make one big fat mess it seriously looks like eye shadow pigment when its smashed or dropped. A harsh black pot of pigment. I was a little apprehensive and made sure I read the instructions which came with the product. Really really important. I am naturally a clumsy person, so upon first use it was unavoidable to make a mess.

So all you need to do is wet a toothbrush- I would recommend purchasing a new brush for this purpose only. You then dip the wet toothbrush into the pot and there we have one black tooth brush.

You need to pop it into your mouth and slowly move the brush over your teeth whilst keeping your mouth closed- this can be harder than what it seems. It's recommended to slowly brush the product all around your teeth for two minutes for effective results. Upon reading the ingredients charcoal's obviously a biggie, and it claims to have a pepperminty essence- all i could taste was charcoal- but if it was going to give me white teeth who was I to complain?

So the important thing is to spit directly into the plug whole- if you try and do anything fancy you are going to get one hot mess. And when I say mess I mean big fat black mess- everywhere. I highly recommend having a dark wash cloth close by for when you use the product for the first time.

You really do need to rinse the product off thoroughly- the great thing about charcoal is you sure know when you have removed it all. For one your smile is completely gruesome and black- and of course if it's not removed you can still taste it.

I found the most effective way to remove all residue was to rinse with water a few times-spit spit spit, then brush your teeth as normal afterwards followed by mouthwash. The first time I used it the product clung in between my teeth and gums- making me look like I had a bruised gum- so not sexy. But seriously persevere with this product its great!

I am a massive green tea drinker- and I honestly felt like i saw an instant difference from just one use, all the staining had gone! the more I've used the product the better its gotten- talk about giving your teeth a whole new lease of life!

A little bit of product goes a long way- total value for money right there my pot is going to last me ages! I've been doing my warpaint once a day and am loving the results- every day the improvements grow.

This was one of the products I picked up in the vault. I am definitely always after a whiter smile so was so stoked that I was able to get a pottle.

The pottle has a screw top lid and a little stopper lid inside to ensure you don't scatter the product all over your bathroom counter. To use you wet your toothbrush, (I made sure I used a separate toothbrush for this) dip it into the powder, tap off the excess, and brush with your mouth closed. The powder has no real noticeable taste to it so you do really miss that minty freshness that a toothpaste gives you. I find that I can never quite rinse all of the product off my teeth afterwards, so have to follow with my usual brushing routine with toothpaste. This is a little abrasive so really gets all the gunk off your teeth, leaving them feeling way cleaner than a regular toothpaste can. I didn't particularly notice any whitening effects just a really clean feel and look to your teeth.

While I do like the way this makes my teeth feel afterwards I really hate the process. You end up with mess all over your sink, all over your clothes and lips. In addition if you have to brush your teeth again afterwards it really does make the whole brushing process quite lengthy- who has time for that twice a day! Because of this I only use this product once or twice a week, almost like an exfoliation for my teeth (that sounds gross but if you felt how clean this made your teeth feel you'd get my drift). I still need to use a whitening pen in addition to this on a weekly basis. Because of the irregular use this little pottle is going to last forever!

Ever since it's debut on Beauty review I've been dying to get my paws on this product. Finally I nabbed it up in the Beauty Vault.

I will be honest, I have no idea how I'm actually mean to use this product but by the way it has been working I'm not too concerned I skipped finding the instructions for use.

I've been squeezing my usual toothpaste onto my toothbrush and then dabbing it into my warpaint tub to get a bit of the black powder onto my toothpaste. Thankfully I've not had any toothpaste left behind in my warpaint.

I then brush my teeth as per usual and pay special attestation to teeth that have yellowed or stained. I rinse my mouth and then brush my teeth a second time with just toothpaste. this seems to get any remaining blackness out of my mouth before a final rinse. the second brush also seems to bring out the difference in my teeth from before and after use.

My teeth tend to stay white and bright for up to 1 week after use and my mouth feels a lot fresher and cleaner all round too.

Although the price is steep I would consider buying this product in the future because of the results. A little also seems to go a long way.

I had been wanting to try the Warpaint Natural Teeth whitener for ages and I was lucky enough to score one using my Beauty Review points in the latest Beauty Vault! To put it simply - it works! I had read in reviews that it is an extremely messy product, so I chose to use it while in the shower. This probably saved my bathroom tiles! The only issue I had was that the black charcoal really got into my gums and stayed there for a day afterwards. NOT the product to use before going out anywhere! I scrubbed and flossed my gums to try and get rid of the black but I couldn't get it all out. Overall I found that it definitely does whiten/brighten your teeth and leave them feeling super clean.

Awesome teeth whitener been using it for 3 weeks now it has made a difference! easy to use and my teeth feel so clean after each use there is also no taste at all and you get a lot of product as you don't use much each use so it will last!

I picked this product out of the beauty vault after hearing alot about it and had to try it for myself. I liked the idea of it being all natural and haven't tried many products that will whiten my teeth. The Warpaint Natural Teeth Whitener comes in a black round container with a screw top lid, you have to be extra careful when you open it because the container is quite full and is so messy if you drop any! I wet my toothbrush and dip it into the teeth whitener which is fully black and sticks to my toothbrush really well. I brushed for 2 minutes making sure I leave my mouth closed while doing it, then rinsed about 5 times. I couldn't seem to get some of the tiny black bits that stayed in between my teeth and gums out straight away so it's always best to use at night. But overall I was really happy with the results, my teeth felt so clean and smooth. I'm not sure if they really whitened my teeth because my teeth weren't very bad to start off with but I told my husband to give it a go and I couldn't believe the difference it made on his teeth! Great results for him as he hasn't always looked after his teeth well in the past. We would use it every week together and crack up at each other as we brushed it into our teeth, it's the funniest thing when you smile with a mouthful of black stuff all over your teeth! I found that the first time i used it I hurt my gums a little bit so you really have to be careful not to brush too hard and just brush with small circular motions on your teeth avoiding your gums. It might also be that it's just my gums that are really sensitive. I liked that the product didn't really have a taste as it looks like it would taste horrible being the colour it is. I also think the price seems quite good for the amount you get in the container and you only need a small bit at a time so it really does last.

This has so many great reviews and who doesn't want extra white teeth that come from a natural product but I am way too OCD for this, it is far too messy for me to really give it a good go.

After trying it out the first time I was mortified with how much it made a mess over my face, sink and surroundings, it is kind of flaky and gets everywhere, brushing in is gross as it all gets black in your mouth and over your teeth which I can tell is from the natural charcoal and I knew to expect that but the mess was just too much to get over, gave it 3 attempts but was left feeling grossed out and gagging so it hasn't been used ever since, can not honestly say that my teeth looked cleaner or whiter and my breath wasn't minty fresh which is what I prefer.

I received the Warpaint as part of a BR trial team and was really excited to get stuck in and test it out!

The packaging is a black plastic jar with a screw-top lid which stays on securely but can be hard to open and close due to powder getting into the creases. The jar is smaller than expected, but because you use such a small amount of product each time it will still last for ages.

The product itself is a black, milled, charcoal powder which you dip a wet toothbrush into. I was surprised by the lack of fragrance and flavour but overall this isn't important.

I made sure to check the FAQ's on the website before using and also the official hashtag on instagram which was very helpful. The three main points everyone should know before using is;

1: Warpaint can be used instead of toothpaste if you wish. This is useful if you're a bit time-poor. 2: Warpaint stains. Keep an old, dark washcloth nearby! And maybe wear dark clothes while brushing if you're particularly accident-prone. 3: Use an old toothbrush, or buy a cheap one especially for your Warpaint. As I mentioned above, it stains everything black!

I initially started out by using it in the mornings approximately an hour after brushing with regular toothpaste. It was quite alarming the first time when the blackened water went everywhere. My sink, toothbrush, hands, face... it was pretty much a disaster zone. Thankfully it rinsed off the sink easily as I didn't let it dry and get stuck on. I used it with the recommended instructions by dipping in my wet toothbrush, brushing for 2 minutes, then rinsing my mouth several times with the cup of water that I had prepared earlier, and washing my face with the dark cloth to remove the black charcoal stains.

The problem I encountered instantly though was that the Warpaint stayed stuck to my gums around where the gum ends and my teeth begins (on top of the tooth, so couldn't be fixed with flossing). Having black gums doesn't exactly scream "I practice good oral hygiene"! It was after 2-3 days of this that I switched to using Warpaint at night and regular toothpaste in the mornings. Problem solved.

So, does it work? Well, maybe. I've been using it for about 9 days now and it has only been in the past 2-3 days that I think I'm starting to see a difference, but it's so subtle that it's can't be seen in photos. I think overall it will work, but you'd need to be using it daily for a month before you could give a real definitive yes or no to its effectiveness.

Would I re-purchase Warpaint? No, it's not likely. The amount of mess and fuss required just doesn't seem worth it for such slow results. I will keep using the jar that I already have though and hopefully I'll see some improvements soon.

I was SO excited to be a part of this trial team! I have tried just about every teeth whitening product available to us in NZ. I am consistently left underwhelmed by the results. I mean, think I have nice teeth anyway - and I dont smoke, dont drink coffee or tea, nor alchohol, don't really subject my teeth to too much damage. So it's not like I have awful stains or "rats teeth" to begin with, which means they shouldn't be too much of a challenge to whiten up, right?! Supermarket/pharmacy produts seem to consistently over promise and under deliver. I've never reached the level of whiteness that I really wanted. Cue Warpaint trial opportunity....

So, this stuff is black. Like, totally black. Make sure you are over a sink and wearing dark clothes when using it! It is hilarious to brush it on and then smile at yourself in the mirror! Just be careful you dont spit it everywhere as you laugh at yourself! I was expecting an unpleasant taste, but actually it doesnt really taste of much at all. It's a *little bit* gritty, but it's very fine and totally comfortable to brush on your teeth. It's a pretty pleasant product to use really, especially compared to current whitening products that can taste really bleachy or leave your mouth feeling uncomfortable. Fantastic knowing it is all natural ingredients too!

So you have to brush your teeth gently with it for 2 minutes, keeping your lips closed so as to not get the black product on your clothing etc. After 2 minutes, you rinse thoroughly and spit it out. It does take 4 or 5 rinses for the black to stop coming out. But the results are immediate! My teeth looked SO white! I took a before and after photo so I could compare, and it was quite incredible. The results in one use are more than what other products promise to deliver in 6 weeks of continuous useage, and then never even manage to get there. To put it simply - this stuff is absolutely magical! If you want fast and reliable results - this is absolutely well worth the investment. The contents of the pot will last for absolutely ages - it's very affordable when you work out the price per use.

There was only one downside that I found... I got little black bits stuck in the gaps where my teeth and gums meet, and they were ever so hard to get out! I ended up having to use a needle to tease the bits of charcoal out, and that was a slightly uncomfortable experience! I'm not sure if that's something that lots of people experience with this product, or if it's just me, but it was just a little deflating to have black outlines around my teeth after such awesome whitening results! Still, it's worth it given how white my teeth are, and I still absolutely recommend this product to anybody who wants a tooth whitener that actually delivers!
