Pros
A good alternative to whitening strips
No taste – for some this might be difficult to get used to initially if you have come from mainstream toothpastes (this company do offer a mint flavoured alternative for those who like a taste/flavour)
There is a significant amount of support for this product which far outweighs negative reviews. Key raves include that it whitens teeth extremely well and that the mess is worth it
Slightly chalky texture but not unpleasant

Cons
Mess alert – be careful when you open the lid for the first time. And maybe the second. You get the picture – it’s messy!
You will need to get used to the grittiness
A few reviewers have confirmed the jar is a little smaller than they thought it would be (but the 32g jar should last you for 2-3 months)
There are some negative reviews in the marketplace but that represents a very small percentage of overall reviews sourced. Key complaints are that it is messy (and not worth it), doesn’t work at all on their teeth or is too abrasive
Some people see literally no change on their tooth colour at all (there is always a percentage of reviewers who see no changed for tooth whiteners containing activated charcoal)
You may suffer from increased tooth sensitivity or irritated gums – discontinue use immediately and contact the company for a full refund if this is the case for you
Handy hints
If you are using this powder with an electric toothbrush, put it in your mouth before you turn your toothbrush on
Wash your mouth out thoroughly after use
Do not swallow – this is more than a handy hint really isn’t it, but you get the picture
How often should I use it?
The brand says to use this twice a day for at least 30 days to see “amazing results”. You can then continue to use this product as part of your regular tooth brushing routine
