44% Teeth Whitening Gel for Trays, Retainers & Aligners – Dentist Strength Carbamide Peroxide Whitener, 30 Treatments, 3 Syringes (5mL)

I have tried countless whitening products over the years, ranging from flimsy strips to expensive dentist visits, but getting my hands on this AuraGlow 44% Carbamide Peroxide gel has been a total game-changer for my oral care routine. From the moment I unboxed the refill pack, I could tell this was serious business; the concentration is significantly higher than the standard drugstore varieties, and it shows. I was looking for something that could tackle deep-set coffee stains without requiring me to wear trays for hours on end, and this high-powered formula delivered exactly that professional-grade punch I needed right in the comfort of my own bathroom. One of the most impressive aspects of using these syringes is the consistency of the gel itself. It has this perfect, thick viscosity that stays exactly where I put it in my whitening trays, ensuring that the active ingredients are actually working on my enamel rather than leaking out and irritating my gums. The 5ml syringes are surprisingly generous, too; because the gel is so potent and stays in place so well, I found that I barely needed a small bead per tooth. This means the three-pack is going to last me an incredibly long time, making it far more economical than buying those lower-percentage kits that require daily use for weeks to see even a fraction of these results. I was initially a little apprehensive about jumping straight to the 44% strength, anticipating some serious sensitivity, but my experience was surprisingly smooth. I made sure to follow the instructions and only kept the trays in for about 15 minutes to start, which turned out to be the sweet spot for me. While I did feel that signature "bubbling" sensation that lets you know the peroxide is oxidizing stains, I didn't experience those sharp "zingers" or shooting pains that often accompany high-strength whiteners. It feels like a very clean, controlled process that obliterates discoloration while being manageable, provided you don't overfill the trays or leave them in too long. The results, frankly, were visible after just the very first application, which is something I rarely say about beauty products. I woke up the next morning, looked in the mirror, and saw a noticeably brighter shade that made my smile pop. After doing a few treatments spaced out over the week, the transformation was undeniable; my teeth looked polished and gleaming, as if I had just walked out of a high-end cosmetic dentistry office. It effectively lifted years of lifestyle stains that I thought were permanent, restoring a level of confidence in my smile that I haven't felt in a long time. This refill pack has officially secured a permanent spot in my grooming arsenal because it bridges the gap between convenience and professional efficacy so perfectly. It allows me to maintain that pearly white look on my own schedule without the hassle of scheduling appointments or settling for mediocre results. If you already have custom-molded trays or a good LED light kit, pairing them with this specific AuraGlow gel maximizes the potential of your gear. It is fast, effective, and it delivers results that speaks for itself.

UPDATE: 5.27.23 after 10 treatments-added pics. (Started May 15th, finished on May 27th) I didn’t share pics in my original review after the 3rd treatment because I was appalled at how yellow my teeth were and didn’t notice. I took all pics in natural sunlight during the daylight either sitting on my windowsill (where both of the attached pics were taken) and treatments 5/6 were taken outside. I took side-by-side pics like these every day after treatment to watch the progression, none are retouched-only cropped. I still have zero sensitivity with this gel and I do have known sensitivity issues with whitening gel. I had to take a day off several times because my of my schedule (nothing to do with teeth or gum sensitivity). I was initially hesitant to try the stronger 44% gel from this brand after reading about sensitivity issues, but thinking about trying it to remove the stubborn stains near my gum line. I'm very happy with the results! Original review: I have been whitening my teeth for over 20 years. I started with getting impressions made at my dentist with gel that went into the trays, with the gel purchased from the dentists office. I later did an expensive session at another dentists office with an LED light (and stronger gel, or I was told) and was underwhelmed with the results. I used the OTC strips directly applied to my teeth when they came out and I liked those for a while. I noticed my teeth were becoming translucent and the sensitivity made them completely prohibitive for me to use. I gave what I had left, and there were a lot, to a happy co-worker who never had the sensitivity issues. I then went back to buying the gel from my dental office and using in the trays from a decade prior. I found a site that sold the gel from my dental office and bought that for a number of years. I then bought a $300 LED system and gel that I saw at a nationwide chain of cosmetic stores. Loved that...until the unit stopped working. The gel capsules for that system were also ridiculously challenging from Day 1, but I kept hearing it was the best so I stayed with it. When the LED unit stopped working long before it should have, I went back to the nationwide upscale cosmetic chain and bought capsules where you pinch the bottom and move the applicator gel to the cotton applicator and brush on your teeth (no LED). Liked that, but didn't feel like it was as effective as the LED. I saw the same LED system that stopped working, on an overstock site and bought a new one. I continued buying their capsules after the nationwide chain stopped selling them in stores for a few years. Last time I bought them was a little over a year and half ago from a dental website. A week or so ago, I caught a glimpse of my (always white) teeth in my car visor mirror and was totally horrified. How did I NOT notice how yellow my teeth had gotten since the fall of 2021? I take care of my hair, nails, etc...didn't notice my teeth. Last week, I did a search in my email for the gel that goes with my original $300 LED system, and went to their website to purchase the gel. When I saw that they haven't figured out a better capsule than the ridiculous twisty, brush-on, capsule that leaves 1/3 of the gel unused I did a search on whitening gel. Interestingly, a google search of the best teeth whitening systems didn't include the brand of my $300 original purchase. So I read through 4 or 5 websites listing their top whitening gel and decided to buy this one, based both on the reviews here and the recommended 5/5 whitening abilities I saw on the known websites. I've also never tried carbamide peroxide and when I saw little about sensitivity issues, like I am known to have, I bought this gel...to use with my existing LED system. This gel is also less than half the price of the 7 treatment capsules I previously bought. I am only 3 treatments in and I am floored how quickly it's working. I would post the before and after pics if I wasn't so appalled by the before...and maybe I will when I complete the 10 treatments (1 syringe). I now have something to look forward to everyday, and I can't wait for treatment 4 tomorrow. I took before pics (as I always have to mark the progress) and use an app to put the pics side-by-side. I think I looked at the pics for an hour today. I then took pics of my 6th whitening in the Fall of 2021 and compared them to treatment 3 of this gel, and it's close. Bottom line, I have sensitive teeth and no sensitivity using this gel. I am using this gel with another LED system (that is 6x the price of the LED unit from this brand, though the system is made poorly and is failing again...I now have to charge it after every use and have to lay on the center tab to get the light to turn on). On principle, I am trying not to buy a new LED light, though based on the cost from this brand, I might end up doing it. I drink more diet soda and coffee than anyone I know and this gel is erasing traces of my bad habits remarkably quickly. I highly recommend this after 3 treatments and hope to be back after 10 treatments with an update that I feel great about sharing the 'before' pics because my teeth have returned to white WHITE.

Hard to keep off your gums/use sparingly. Works well! I used it for 1 week and had good results.

I've tried multiple brands of teeth whitening gel and this one is definitely top 3. Works great!

I have been using whitening gels for a while and I can tell by the reaction on my teeth, and the amount of whitening I get, in relative terms of it's more or less than 25% product I use at baseline. This product feels like its way less than 25% in carbamide peroxide concentration. Will be returning. For the price they charge you can definitely get much better products.
