I tend to write long reviews, so here’s a quick list of positives and negatives of the whitening pen. This may also answer some questions you have about using the whitening pen:
Positives:
-Actually whitened my teeth!
-No bad taste
-No irritation/pain
-Easy to apply
-Nice packaging
Negatives:
-Did not last as long as the box said it would (lasted 1.5 weeks instead of the 30 usages the box promised)
-You have completely to dry off your teeth and then paint on the solution on each individual tooth (I personally didn’t mind this. It just took a little while to do)
-If you paint over wet teeth, it will ruin the brush
-The solution easily clumps up in areas on teeth after it dries (this didn’t bother me much, but thought it was worth mentioning)
Okay so here’s my more in depth review:
I’ve tried just about every whitening toothpaste on the market, charcoal, baking soda, and more, with no results. I heard about this pen and thought I’d give it a try. I was a bit nervous because I can have sensitive gums, but I felt no irritation whatsoever! The pen lasted exactly a week and a half before I used it all up (so it did not last the 30x stated on the box!). In that time, I can honestly say my teeth look whiter! I was pleasantly surprised. Believe me, the yellow on my teeth was stubborn! I may purchase the pen again to whiten my teeth even more.
However, I noticed a few things about the pen that might be considered negatives to some people. First of all, you have to COMPLETELY dry your teeth before “painting” on the whitening solution with the pen. Otherwise, the solution gets all clumpy and dries up on the brush, which will ruin it. Also, be aware that the pen paints this solution on your teeth and sort of leaves a thin film/coating over your teeth overnight. The solution doesn’t have a taste or anything, but you will definitely want to brush your teeth in the morning to get it all off. Also, be aware that the solution will clump up in places on your teeth when it dries.
I was not aware that that was how the pen works when I bought it, but looking back, I noticed that most of the negative reviews focused around the white clumpyness of the solution on your teeth. This honestly didn’t bother me much, though it was a little bit of a hassle to dry off my teeth and get an even coating on each tooth.
Additionally, you will only be able to whiten your front teeth, as it is to hard to dry off and paint the teeth at the back of the mouth.
Overall, I am pleasantly surprised and impressed by this whitening tool. I’ve tried so many different things and this is the first that has worked! If you are okay with the few “negatives” than definitely purchase this product! I would purchase this again!
As a note, I tried to take before and after pictures but because of bad lighting, they didn’t turn out. But I did see a huge improvement in my teeth’s whitening!

Well, it worked.
By Christian Betts on October 20, 2020
My teeth are definitely whiter. It doesn’t taste GOOD, but it’s not terrible or even grimace-worthy. My biggest complaint is the clumping brush and how difficult it is to get the sticky left over product off of it before the next use. Even if you wash it immediately after using, its as difficult as cleaning old product. It just cakes and sticks to the brushes. If that could be solved, I’d immediately give 5 stars instead of 4.

Although I was using their Optic White toothpaste consistently 2 weeks prior to starting this, I can’t say I saw much of a measurable difference in photos until I used this overnight whitener pen. I have used various whiteners throughout the years including tray whiteners at the dentist, and various apply at home gels, some with very high peroxide strengths that were painful to use.
I am very torn between rating this a 4 or 5 stars. The whitening difference is only a shade possibly 2 lighter. So keep that in mind that this pen is probably not going to take a heavily tea stained set of teeth to Hollywood blinding white. The results will be modest.
The good things:
- No horrible taste
- Seems to stay on teeth overnight just fine and work its ‘magic’
- Easy to use instruction guide (they made it so easy) Just put it on after brushing at night
- Includes handy holder to keep at your bathroom sink as a reminder
I’m gonna go ahead and rate this a 5 star because of their honesty. While the results are somewhat mild, Colgate was not deceptive at all with their marketing and truthfully details that their product Increases brightness a few shades at most.

Edit: It has been a two days since I tried the product. My lip is swollen and has pus coming out of it. Contacting my Dr in the morning. I guess something came out and is reacting in a very bad way with my lips, at first I thought the pen was empty. I'll update after my Dr appointment. The bristles seemed dry but I guess I was wrong. I have added nothing else to my daily routine besides this.

Aweful product. Don't waste your time or money.
By CJB on July 20, 2020
This product sucks. The white stuff you see on my teeth in the picture is hard. It turns the brush hard similar to a plaster. It's very strange. I understand the concept but they really need to go back to the drawing board. Definitely going back.
