Summary: moderate results; watch for mess 2010-08-30
Comment: After finding this cheaper than most at Walgreen's Drugs I tried it. Not quite as good as Crest, but a lot cheaper and ultimately messier. Got some moderate results but eventually stopped using it.
Six months later, it exploded in a drawer (this is inside a living area, so can't blame excess heat). The resultant goop was over everything. It is now a liquid -- viscosity of water -- so no way to apply with a cotton swab. Hope Walgreen's stands behind their products.

Summary: Fantastic product yet so cheap 2010-07-26
Comment: I want to put rest to many of the rumors that seem to float around with this product. My review will only try to bring light to the queries rather than rate the product as their seem to be enough positive reviews.
1) It works wonderfully well for MOST people. Unless and until your teeth have very very bad coffee and tea pit stains, I have heard no complaints about this product from anyone.
2) Phosphoric Acid: Yes, excess P.A. can damage tooth enamel. But that said, the levels of the ingredient per use are very very minute. Soda that people consume so frequently these days has many times the quantity of P.A. that this product has. I have had the ingredients examined by a reputed local dentist. He says that with moderate use, your teeth wouldn't face any damage. Well of course if you went overboard and used the product 3 times a day, well sure you can damage your teeth. Also, most whitening products have some amount of P.A. or the other. Be it whitening tooth paste, strips or a procedure at your local dentist's place. It's main function is to loosen the particles on the surface of your teeth.
Improper brushing can cause far greater damage to your enamel. The bacteria that form on your teeth when you don't brush often, can produce similar acids that can cause much greater damage. So stop with the P.A. propaganda!
3) Sensitivity: For people with sensitive teeth, such products are not advised. Sensitivity in teeth can be because of lot of reasons, a very common one being damaged enamel. So such products would only add to the uncomfortable sensation in your teeth. Again, it is in the nature of such products to cause discomfort to people with sensitive teeth.
4) My way of using: I follow the procedures that I got to know about through a youtube video. Buy a couple of plasic mouth guards (the kind they use in sports) from your local Walmart or Walgreens, should cost you a $1 each. Place them in hot water just long enough so that they become a little soft and flexible. Now nudge them against your teeth and suck on them for a few seconds and until they take shape and turn hard. the plastic should hold shape, now you've got a personalized set of mouth guards. Then take a thin layer of the teeth whitener and apply a thin layer of the paste. Make sure that it is evenly spread, even in the hard to reach spaces between your teeth. That way you will see uniformity later. Make sure you don't get any paste on your gums. As soon as you have the paste spread, put in the mouth guards. Wait it out for 5 minutes, then remove the guards and rinse throughly. Voila, you have a set of shiny white teeth for under $10!
Final verdict : It WORKS! Stop dissing on a product you don't properly know about or how to use. Work on facts not presumptions, enjoy!

Summary: Should Be Called "Still Yellow After 30 Days". 2010-07-12
Comment: I purchased the one with the rinse and mouth tray but since the gel is the same, I wanted to post a review here to warn others.
The product says to use it twice a day for 5 minutes each time, and up to 20 minutes for very stained teeth. My teeth were only slightly yellow and mainly on the incisors. Since the instructions said I could use it up to 20 minutes each time, I figured if I did that, I would be done with this in a week.
I have used this product (including the rinse and mouthgiuard) for the past 30 days, twice a day for at least 20 minutes each time and sometimes 30, but my teeth are still yellow. If you do the math, that's the equivalent of using the product twice a day for 5 minutes each time for 120 days or 4 months! The product did lighten my teeth a few shades but it is much like the 600 pound person who loses 300 pounds, they are still fat. I even did an experiment like others but unlike them, I never told my wife I was using this. I wanted to see if she noticed a difference. Thirty days later and she never said a word about my teeth looking whiter.
The product did not even last 14 days. By day 10 I had to buy another package. This second package was in an identical box but the ingredients list for the gel was different. The gel in the second (and third box) also was quite sticky in my mouth and hard to rinse out, which was not the case with the first one. I emailed the customer support via the contact email address on their website to ask what the difference was but never received a reply. I guess when you make a bad product you you don't care, or are too lazy to reply to email.
If you think you are going to use this twice a day for 5 minutes each time and have white teeth in two weeks you are crazy. If you do, then they were white to begin with and you don't need this product. I am going to ask for a refund per their website, but I don't expect to get one.

Summary: Beware! 2010-05-06
Comment: I read a lot of great reviews for this product. One of my favorite make-up gurus swears by it as well. I have been having trouble finding it in stores, but today I spotted it at Walgreens. I purchased a tube for $6.99, so much less expensive than any of the other products. Now, I will tell you that I have used a multitude of teeth whitening products over the years. Crest, Listerine, off brands, Go White, you name it, I've used it. I've never had any issues with any of those products. I followed the instructions on the side of the box and smeared it on my teeth, avoiding my gums, with a cotton swab. The product was foaming (the oxygenation, I assume) and it's impossible to keep it off your gums at this point. Within a couple of minutes my gum line above my top left canine started throbbing within seconds the inside of my mouth felt like it was on fire. I immediately rinsed my mouth out and noticed that my gums were white. Not lighter than normal, but white. It felt like I had ripped the top off a canker sore. My gums looked shriveled and were white in places. I kept gargling with water trying to rehydrate the area as much as possible. Eventually my gums started to regain some of their normal color. Unfortunately, the inside of my mouth is still very sore and my gums are still dry and shriveled. It is entirely possible that I got a bad tube. However, I will never use this product again. I'd rather spend $50 on Crest and feel safe with their product, than spend $6 and get chemical burns.

Comment: I used this for a few time .look good for keeping my teeth clean ... 70% satisfy on this product,unless you wanted more whitener ,recommend you go to dentist whiten your teeth out......
Six months later, it exploded in a drawer (this is inside a living area, so can't blame excess heat). The resultant goop was over everything. It is now a liquid -- viscosity of water -- so no way to apply with a cotton swab. Hope Walgreen's stands behind their products.
