What does the gel contain?
Why is the Global White teeth whitening system so effective? The gel contains substances that together have a good whitening effect:
- xylitol affects cariogenic bacteria and neutralizes them;
- Potassium nitrate reduces sensitivity;
- Hydrogen peroxide penetrates the enamel and breaks down internal pigmentation, restoring natural whiteness.
Global White teeth whitening gel has a completely safe, gentle composition, so you can safely use it at home without fear of harming your teeth.
Alternative
In addition to Global White, there are many other systems that can be used at home. It is impossible to say with certainty which one will suit a particular person. However, they all worked well. The only thing that can be noted is that gels are preferable for sensitive teeth than other types of whitening products.
White Kiss
The White Kiss system comprehensively whitens teeth at home. The kit includes whitening gel, toothpaste and 2 thermoplastic aligners. The system is designed for seven procedures.
The main component of White Kiss gel is carbamide peroxide at a concentration of 10%. Professional gels contain the same amount, but it is considered safe for enamel. However, potassium fluoride and xylitol are added to reduce tooth sensitivity.
The toothpaste maintains the result after whitening and contains a small amount of abrasive substances. It contains sodium fluoride and xylitol, which prevent tooth decay. Papain removes plaque, and pyrophosphates prevent its appearance.
CrestWhitestrips
Unlike the systems mentioned above, in this system whitening is carried out in strips. They are thin enough to fit the size of the teeth. The strips are coated with a special gel, the main active ingredient of which is hydrogen peroxide.
The strips should be kept on the teeth for 30 minutes to an hour (the time depends on the type of system). After applying them, you need to gently massage your teeth to distribute the gel. After the specified time, you can remove the strips and brush your teeth.
An undoubted advantage is the convenience of the procedure. With the stripes you can do your usual activities. However, they are not suitable for everyone - for sensitive teeth, a gel or pencil is preferable.
How to use the product?
Global White is sold as a kit, which includes a gel, a retractor and a microbrush. Of course, instructions are included, using which you will avoid mistakes and get excellent results.
- Before use, you need to thoroughly brush your teeth so that the active ingredients of the teeth whitening gel can fully affect the enamel.
- Then, in accordance with the instructions, insert a retractor into your mouth, which will protect soft tissues from exposure to substances, expose the teeth as much as possible, and eliminate the possibility of the product being rubbed off by your lips.
- Next, using a microbrush, spread the gel over the enamel in an even, fairly thick layer, paying special attention to the interdental space.
The exposure time depends on the degree of pigmentation - from 7 to 15 minutes. It is highly not recommended to keep the product on your teeth for any longer! After use, rinse your mouth thoroughly with clean water. In just a week, you will be able to see in the mirror with pleasure that your teeth have become several shades lighter.
Another method of use is an individual mouthguard with gel. A small amount of product is placed in it, the tray is put on the teeth and left for 15 minutes. This procedure must be repeated twice a day for a week. If you have very sensitive teeth, then the Global White system is suitable for you, designed specifically for these cases. It has a particularly gentle effect, but no less effective lightening.
Recommendations for teeth whitening
In order to note with satisfaction the high effectiveness of the product after a week, you need to use it correctly.
- Don't skip a single procedure. Systematicity is the key to success.
- Use Global White toothpaste at the same time as whitening.
- Consider purchasing foam of the same brand, which is very convenient to use after meals, when it is not possible to fully brush your teeth.
- Throughout the whitening course, try to avoid consuming products with strong coloring pigments.

Good result, but the composition is not encouraging
Hi all!
When I didn’t have a good relationship with mass-market toothpastes (you can read more about this here), I remembered Global White toothpaste, about which I had heard a lot of rave reviews, and decided that I also needed to check it out.
In one of the city pharmacies I managed to find a daily (funny clarification, right?) Global White whitening paste.
Global White Daily Whitening Toothpaste
I thought that the paste would be expensive, but no, I bought it for only 100 rubles. Agree, in regular stores you can find pastes that are much more expensive.
The packaging is quite stylish, designed to look like expensive professional teeth whitening pastes. The tube containing the paste is soft, so it allows you to squeeze out the paste to the last milligram.
Global White Daily Whitening Toothpaste
The box contains a description of the action of the active components.
Active components
Alas, I have a stupid habit of reviewing the composition only after purchasing the product. When I choose baby hygiene products, the first thing I do is study the ingredients, and then buy them, but when I take something for myself, I somehow miss this moment.
In general, it was only at home that I noticed that the toothpaste contains parabens, not only at the end, as can be seen in some products, but also in the middle, which means their concentration in the toothpaste is not so small.
Compound
And it would be nice if it were, for example, liquid soap, which has little contact with the skin and is quickly washed off with water. We are talking about toothpaste that ends up in our mouths. It is clear that no sane adult would swallow the paste, but no one can rule out accidental ingestion.
I noticed this big minus even before I started using it. But it was not there, the paste was bought - it must be used.
Initially, the hole is protected by a membrane.
Protective membrane
The paste itself is thick, white interspersed with blue particles. Apparently, these are the same silica granules that are mentioned on the packaging.
Global White Daily Whitening Toothpaste
Fortunately, my disappointments ended with the composition, since the paste turned out to be very effective:
- firstly, it really whitens teeth, the result can be seen after a week of use, teeth become 1-2 shades whiter;
- secondly, it cleans teeth well, prevents the formation of plaque and tartar;
- thirdly, it freshens breath due to its mint taste.
The only thing is that it, like all whitening pastes, has a short-term effect: as long as you use the paste, your teeth will delight you with their whiteness, but as soon as you change the paste to another brand, the whole result is reduced to zero.
As I already said, this feature is typical for all whitening pastes, so I will not consider this a disadvantage of the Global White paste specifically.
Do I recommend this toothpaste? It’s definitely worth trying if your goal is to whiten your teeth a couple of shades, but I wouldn’t recommend it as a permanent toothpaste, again because of the composition.
