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.

Nu Skin AP24 Anti-Plaque Fluoride Toothpaste Product Review

Oral hygiene is a must in my daily routine, I brush my teeth twice a day, three times if I have food stuck in between my teeth or before I go to an event - it's a self conscious thing. I also floss and use mouthwash to ensure my mucosa is immaculate as possible.

I have tried various brands for oral care and there seems to be a lot of times where I go back and buy the same toothpaste as I love the result and confidence it gives me. I am not scared to try different brands and see what their products have to offer me, after all, I am a beauty blogger.

Having tried a few other Nu Skin products, I wanted to have a try of their toothpaste!

Looking at the details of this toothpaste, Nu Skin recommends:

• Brush teeth thoroughly, preferably after each meal or at least twice a day, or as directed by a dentist or physician. Children of 6 years and younger: Use a pea sized amount for supervised brushing to minimise swallowing. In case of intake of fluoride from other sources consult a dentist or doctor. 

ingredients:

• Dicalcium, Phosphate Dihydrate, Water (Aqua),Sorbitol, Glycerin, Sodium Monofluorophosphate, Dimethicone*,  Poloxamer 338*, Poloxamer 407*, Cellulose Gum, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Flavor (Aroma), Sodium Saccharin, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891).
• *A component of the patented AP-24® formula.

 To make you understand it abit more, this is from the Nu Skin product information

AP-24®

− a patented plaque-fighting agent. AP-24® is a long-chain

silicon-oxygen molecule that can wrap around teeth and hold

tightly to leave your mouth feeling cleaner and fresher longer.

• Dicalcium phosphate

− a mild abrasive that gently loosens

and removes debris.

• Sodium monofluorophosphate

− an approved form of

fluoride that can be used to fight cavities.

I brush my teeth first thing in the morning and before bed,  sometimes after a meal (depending on where I am) I use a pea sized amount on my electric toothbrush. I find that by using an electric toothbrush, my teeth feel more clean, gives me more confidence to smile!

Pro's:

• upright tube with a flip top lid, which means gravity will help the toothpaste to come out from the bottom
• it does give a coating over my teeth to make my teeth feel like it's being protected

Con's:

• too pricey for a toothpaste that doesn't work better than my usual toothpaste
• not got a good long lasting after taste
• too much air in the tube, it was annoying when I was trying to use the last of the toothpaste, it kept pumping out air

I am glad I tried this toothpaste but I don't feel it gives me the confidence my original toothpaste does. 

For £8 there is 170g / Net Wt. 6oz of product, lasted me 2 months.

My first impressions haven't changed throughout the use of this toothbrush, I don't like the taste of it after a short period of time, it is somewhat more salty than sweet, doesn't leave my mouth with a good after taste or long lasting. 

The toothbrush is white in colour The colour of my teeth remain the same, it doesn't cleanse enough for my liking. I still continue to floss and use mouthwash from time to time to ensure my mucosa is fully hydrated and fresh. 

Sadly, this is a product I don't like from the Nu Skin range, I still prefer my skin products than anything else. I am glad I tried the toothpaste though! There is also another toothbrush I have yet to try!
