How does White Light whitening work?
White Light is a system designed for fast teeth whitening at home. The development belongs to Natural White, the technology is produced in several countries, including China. The products are simple and safe to use.
It is based on the light technology of exposure to an ultraviolet ray on a special gel. The system is suitable for giving natural teeth a natural whiteness.
White Light works on the basis of an acid-free gel that does not damage the enamel. The main component of the product is carbamide peroxide. According to the manufacturer, the light of the device increases the effectiveness of the product by more than 30% and allows the result to be fixed for a longer period. The effect lasts throughout the year.
Ultraviolet teeth whitening occurs through exposure to a beam with a specific length of radiation. Light interacts with a 2-component agent. As a result, there is a stimulation and release of active oxygen, which subsequently penetrates into the enamel. Whitening of dark spots and the entire surface occurs, while the enamel is not damaged.

What do consumers think?
Users leave mixed reviews about teeth whitening with the White Light system, it is recommended by about half of those who have tried this method. Some write that there really is a result, while others, on the contrary, did not see any changes.
Satisfied buyers noted the low cost, ease of use, and the presence of a whitening effect. The dissatisfied in the comments indicated either a weak result or its complete absence. It was also said that after the course use, the sensitivity of the teeth sharply increases.
I always dreamed of having a snow-white smile. And so I decided to whiten my teeth at home. I ordered Whitelight from Aliexpress. Useless thing, only spent half a month using it. I did everything according to the instructions, but I didn't get the result in 2 weeks. The teeth did not even lighten a half tone. But they became more sensitive to cold and hot.

I bought this product a year ago. I did whitening for 5 days, I saw the effect on the 4th day. The enamel has become a little lighter. I liked that the procedure is safe and can be done at home.
Vladislava Vidiney, 40 years old, St. Petersburg
In pursuit of snow-white teeth, I acquired a whitening system. I have an effect. Used 6 days for 20 minutes. As a result, the teeth became whiter, the yellowness became almost invisible. Of course, the result is not the same as with whitening in the dentist's office. But for such a price, this is an excellent result. The only thing is that the gels run out quickly.

I heard a lot about White Light and decided to test this miracle system on myself. So, I am sharing my impressions of the product. The device is working normally and shines brightly. The gels are a little sweet, after which there is a slight chill. The tubes are not completely filled, half empty, more air. The mouthguards are easy to put on - take off, and also easy to clean. The result after a week of use is absolutely no, i.e. null. I will not recommend products. One gets the impression that this is just a toy.
