How To Get Whiter Teeth Fast - Plus White 5 Minute Speed Whitening Gel Review

**EDIT: For people with sensitive teeth like myself, the packaging doesn't label how much Hydrogen Peroxide is in the gel, which is the bleaching agent. But so far I haven't noticed any discomfort on my teeth. Your main concern is to keep this gel away from your gums since it can cause a more sensitive reaction from the bleach.**

This is a product review about the Plus White 5 Minute Bleach Whitening Gel. I really wanted a quick and inexpensive way to whiten my teeth before school started. I watched Kandee Johnson's YouTube video about this product so I decided to give it a try. (Click here to watch)


WHAT IT CLAIMS: It takes advantage of the same bleaching action dentists use to professionally whiten and brighten teeth (the oxygenating action of peroxide) to gently lift away stains, eliminate yellowing and dramatically whiten teeth. Bleaching begins with the very first application and you'll see whiter, brighter teeth within days, guaranteed!

INGREDIENTS: Water, Poloxamer 407, Glycerin, Hydrogen Peroxide, Methyl Salicylate, Sodium Saccharin, Phosphoric Acid

WHERE TO FIND IT: Drugstores like Walgreens and CVS.
PRICE: $6-$8
VALUE FOR PRICE: 5 out of 5
MEETS EXPECTATIONS: 5 out of 5
OVERALL RATING: 5 out of 5







PROS:

inexpensive
works fast
doesn't irritate teeth but keep away from gums
has a very slight minty taste

CONS:

gel can get messy for some
even though it has a minty taste, I wouldn't recommend swallowing it.

OVERALL:
I love this! I would definitely repurchase this product once I'm out. I only bought the gel and not the complete system. (The system includes a pre-mouthwash and a mouth guard). To apply this product I use a cotton swab and I cover my teeth completely making sure I don't miss any spots in the crevices. I used Kandee Johnson's trick by using the mouth guard that football players use. (Click here to watch) It might sound weird but it really does the trick! Even though the packaging says "5 minutes" the gel actually doesn't start working until 5 minutes after application. So I leave this gel in for about 20 minutes and then I rinse my mouth. The results are amazing and I've only been using it for a few days.

I recommend everyone to give it a try. You'll be surprised how white and bright your teeth can get by using this stuff. And you have nothing to lose since it's very inexpensive compared to other teeth whiteners that are out in the market.


I've been using this gel twice a day for four days and here are the results.
See how fast it works in just four days of application?

  14. My boyfriend's been look for something like this!

    Does it do anything to the sensitivity of your teeth, though? That's mainly what he's worried about.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Elisa - I have really sensitive teeth and so far this stuff hasn't done anything to the sensitivity. I do think that this product is more concentrated than other teeth whiteners considering it's a "5 minute" whitening gel so it may be more powerful than other products.

  16. Wow I will get this tomorrow at CVS!

  17. I bought Crest White Strips but was too lazy to finish it and it expired :( I will give this a chance though! Sounds less of a hassle!

  18. Hi Tina

    How 'abrasive' is this on the teeth, and from what you have heard of other people using it too. How much 'bleach' stuff is in the formula. My teeth are quite sensitive or thin I would describe it. But I guess they wouldn't sell it in the pharmacies if it's not user-friendly right.

  19. Anonymous - I'm not sure how much bleach is in this gel but I don't find it abrasive at all. The Hydrogen Peroxide, which is the bleaching agent in the gel, doesn't cause any discomfort to the teeth. I hope I've helped!

  20. wow. my hunnie may want to try this out! lol. I've never tried any whitening stuff because I'm afraid it's going to burn or something! lol. do you know if you have to keep continueing using this every single day?

    ReplyDelete
  21. xoladiihoneyxo - No you don't have to keep continuing to use this everyday. The packaging says to use this 2x a day for 2 weeks and then once a week after that. I don't think you generally have to go by this rule but I find this technique to be really beneficial.

  22. OMG the before and after is AMAZING! I need to do this!

  32. RYC: Really you've never tried their brushes?!

    I suggest their studio brushes and their $1 eyeshadow and $1 blending brush!

    They have special promo's going on all the time for half off or 75% off codes! They have one for studio I think going on, if you'd like me to send it to you!

  36. i live in australia do you think i can find it here? please help i need this urgently

    ReplyDelete
  37. Anonymous - I'm not sure if they sell it in Australia. You can check out any of your local drugstores to see if they have any. If they don't, your best bet is to buy it online like off Ebay.

  38. This is my 2nd day using it and it's really making my teeth really sore I think it's my gum too. I haven't been able to notice a difference yet, but soo far it's really hurting my teeth -_-

    ReplyDelete
  39. wow how i can get this product i want my teeth more white cause they are a little yellow im afraid to say that but is the truth .

    ReplyDelete
  40. This product provides Ok results for the price. I've found laser whitening to be the best method to make teeth whiter. It's expensive, but it works!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Wow, what a teeth whitening discovery! This looks like a fine alternative to my old method of brushing my teeth with a mixture of baking soda and water in the form of a paste as my home-made teeth whitening solution. And if I remember correctly, my dentist (Rock Hill) has told me about this product back then and how it will work wonders on your teeth.

  42. Can you get this in ireland

    ReplyDelete
  43. Hi Tina! I'm just wondering. Is this approved or recommended by dentists? Murfreesboro (TN)-based dental clinic is where I get my teeth examined and consult for teeth whitening products. This seems a worth a try since you used this yourself. But I'll ask my dentist first about this. Thanks, by the way.

  44. Looks like Plus White made your teeth a few shades whiter! I've found that teeth whitening kits that use carbamide peroxide give the most dramatic results. You end up with that ultra white smile like the Hollywood stars have.
