Venus Products (35%)

It works.
You need the plastic mold of your teeth, which your dentist will make up for you. I’ve been using the Venus for probably 4 years and it does keep your teeth white and I use it very sparingly maybe once a month. It works.

SEEMS JUST AS GOOD AS THE SAME PRODUCT SOLD BY DENTISTS
After using this product for two very successful bleachings . . . I’m having trouble understanding why several users have implied that it may not be the same thing sold by dentists. I found it to be exactly the same. In just 30 quick minutes, it did precisely as good a job bleaching my teeth as the exact same product I got from my dentist . . . at half the price.Be very suspicious when half of the critical reviewers say the stuff sold by Amazon is so weak it didn’t do any bleaching at all . . . while the other half say it was so much more powerful than the same product supplied by their dentist that it supposedly burned their gums. Huh? Which way is it, folks? It’s highly unlikely to be both less powerful and more powerful than the same stuff sold by their dentists.Draw your own conclusions, folks, as to who is telling the truth here . . . or who is just terribly confused.Here’s the likeliest explanation. This stuff comes in several different concentrations, ranging all the way up to 35%. The people who found it less potent or more potent than the stuff they got from their dentist may be inadvertently ordering a weaker or stronger solution that their dentist uses. Use a magnifying glass to check the teeny-tiny print on the syringe your dentist sold you to see what percentage they gave you. I like the maximum 35% –but that maximum strength can leave your gums a TINY bit irritated — usually not enough to be a problem. The irritation quickly goes away in 12 to 24 hours. To reduce the irritation, I space my 30-minute bleachings several days or even a week apart.As for those who say the version sold by Amazon is “fake” . . . get real, people. How long do you think the legitimate manufacturer would allow Amazon to continue selling a counterfeit version of their patented, trade-marked product if these people yelling “fake” had any validity at all? Wanna try selling fake Coca-Cola on Amazon and see how many minutes it takes Coca-Cola to haul your behind into court?There’s also another possible explanation. If you aren’t already suspecting that some of those reviewers are dentists themselves who are furious that you can bypass them and buy this stuff direct from Amazon at half the price . . . then you must be awfully naive. Hello.

Difficult to dispense from syringe
The applicator tips don’t work well for the syringes, they’re just way too small for how thick the gel is. It’s hard to push the syringe so when it does finally squeeze through, it’s a lot and in a mess. For every push. Most of the gel has been wasted so I’ve gone through 4 tubes in less than 3 months, whereas the (promised) brand that’s normally sent lasts me 12 months. Overall, not worth it until they swap out bigger tips!

Doesn’t really work
Got a tray from my dentist and some of their whiteners but to expensive to keep purchasing. So bought online and don’t think they made a difference, so won’t be purchasing again. Should have given 1 star.
