My first experience with tooth whitening! Part Two- Results


Last Sunday I posted here about the RapidWhite teeth whitening travel pen which is a week long treatment used twice daily. (I've since seen it in Boots and FYI it is priced at £13.30!)

The instructions state to leave the treatment on twice daily for 5-10 minutes after brushing, and brush afterwards too. I did do this bar one night where I was too tired!

The results:

Unfortunately, I've noticed no change in my teeth. I've compared them against the chart to see if they've gone up a shade but I can't see that they have, the treatment hasn't cleared up any discolourations and they don't appear any brighter than last week.
Whilst on one hand this is a disappointing result, I'm not too shocked. For a whitening treatment priced at just over a tenner I can't have expected too much though was hoping for a slight yet noticeable difference. 
On a plus point I've not experienced a lot of sensitivity as a result- sensitivity is heightened with cold drinks but it isn't too painful and there isn't a huge difference in comparison to how sensitive they were before.

Overall, I cannot recommend this product as I've not seen any results. However, I am glad I tried it, because if you don't try, then you don't know!! 

Have you ever used this product? Have you ever completed an at home whitening treatment that works?

My first experience of teeth whitening (Part One)

RapidWhite Travel Tooth Whitening Pen, 2x3ml.


Please excuse the bedraggled packaging photograph, but I didn't actually pay for this item. Last week I was helping my sister sort through some of her stuff for a bootsale, ebay etc and we came across this. She had bought it with every intention to use it but said I could have it as I had already been moaning about the fact that I'd ordered this product at the beginning of June on a couple of recommendations and it just never arrived. After several emails back and forth and the supplier being extremely unhelpful and not answering my questions, my money eventually got refunded and I remained tooth whitener-less.

I can't currently find this exact item on the Boots website though this doesn't mean you won't be able to find it in store. If I have a good experience with RapidWhite then I'd be keen to try their other treatments, after all this is just a travel pen.

The course is a week long, with applications twice daily. I'm commiting to this so check back next Sunday for my results!
Below is my smile today, so we can compare next week to see whether this stuff works! I hope it does but I hope there aren't any negative side effects...sensitivity is not my friend!
