Nu Skin AP-24 Whitening toothpaste review

Over many years I have tried various whitening toothpastes who promise results after a period of time and of course the photos are always extremely appealing. We all want white teeth, but it depends on your own teeth state, results will vary. Unfortunately I have sensitive teeth after eating too much acidic foods or use certain toothpastes for too long, which is quite annoying as it also causes my gums to bleed at times - not attractive!

There are more and more brands who have their own versions of whitening toothpaste as whiter teeth is becoming popular across the world, Nu Skin is one of them.  AP-24® Whitening Fluoride  is formulated with a unique combination of ingredients that removes stains and whitens teeth without harsh abrasive action. After extensive laboratory testing, this formula was shown to provide better whitening results than leading brands of whitening toothpaste.

For less than £10, there is 110g of product which is about 100ml tube lasts up to 2 months per tube. I use mine 3 times a day and it lasts me a month and half as little goes a long way with results to see.

Many whitening toothpastes contain peroxide, a chemical that bleaches teeth, but can weaken tooth enamel and irritate soft mouth tissues. Peroxides should only be used in a professional setting. AP-24® Whitening Fluoride Toothpaste does not contain peroxide. Neither does it contain harsh abrasives − they remove stains, but erode and scratch teeth.
AP-24® Whitening Fluoride Toothpaste resulted in a 63%
increase in tooth brightness in clinical trials.

my results in just under a week


Pro's:

  • slight vanilla & mint taste
  • taste is not too hot for the tongue
  • Gentle to teeth and mild to gums
  • product can last 2 months as you only need a pea sized amount each time
  • brightens and whitens teeth while fighting plaque formation after meals
  • alcohol free
  • Leaves a clean, just-brushed feeling that lasts
  • safe to use more than twice a day woohoo!


Personally for me, I brush my teeth morning and night, plus during the day after eating certain foods like too much sugar or food that get stuck in between my teeth. Most toothpastes recommend to use only day and night but even after chewing gum after meals doesn't help my teeth feel or look as clean as brushing it. Featuring a special formula that contains no harmful peroxides, AP-24 Whitening Fluoride Toothpaste also helps remove stains and aids in the prevention of cavities.
The flip top lid ensures the product does not dry if the lid was opened, no loose screw lid and no twisting off lid which half the time, I end of losing, when you're rushing out in the morning, the last thing I want to do is waste time looking for the lid! Does anyone else have this problem?

One thing I noticed was when I spit out the formula, it is an off-white (sometimes yellow-ish colour) foam which is the plaque from the teeth. sounds disgusting but its true!
 The toothpaste demonstrates the results after you have brushed your teeth - I have never seen this before as the formula is usually too watery or too strong for me to keep in my mouth but this is gentle for my sensitive teeth.


If you're interested to try this product, please send me a message - available world wide.

Prettiest cookies EVER

Yes - these are real cookies! They are the most prettiest cookies I have EVER seen! All thanks to Madame Shinco, she has a love for animal prints which I absolutely adore!  I wanted to see the cakes with my own eyes immediately but unfortunatly I had to wait 2 years ......
Anyways!! 



I first read about Madame Shinco from a Japanese food magazine a couple of years ago and I told myself that whenever I go to Japan I would have to find this store. I recently visited Japan for the first time and it was such an experience! Everything was so hyped up, the food was amazing, the people are so respectful & polite, the whole trip was just amazing! 
I knew I had to find this store and make a purchase , I couldn't decide what to purchase but these cookies were definately a 'must' for me because I love leopard print so much! 



They actually taste really fresh, the cookie itself tastes crisps with a gorgeous print, the cream filling was nice and thin. I love the box as well as the cookie! It's been such an experience trying out these amazing cookies!

I wish there was another store outside of Japan but it's catered in Japan as the maintain it to its high standards for their customers! Just means there's another excuse to go back to Japan! Ha!
