Beautiful same a smile attracts the attention of others and encourages communication.
But dental services are quite expensive, so the Blend-a-Med company offered budget-friendly at-home whitening - teeth whitening strips .
What it is?
You should know! This is an adhesive base coated with a layer of active gel, the main component of which is hydrogen peroxide. They are designed to whiten teeth by several shades at home.
Whitening strips are very popular all over the world and are produced by many oral hygiene companies.
But among all the manufacturers, we can safely single out the most active one - the Blendamed company and its product - Blend-a-Med 3d white Luxe whitening strips.
Composition and properties
A beautiful smile is one of the components of a pleasant image and good mood. Therefore, when choosing a toothpaste with a whitening effect, you need to be very careful. Blend-a-med 3d white luxe is one of the most famous series, which has proven itself well among consumers.
The product has a soft composition and does not cause any discomfort while brushing your teeth. The product contains glycerin, water, hydrogen peroxide and other substances. The series includes several products that differ slightly in composition.
But there are always bactericidal components that destroy harmful microorganisms that cause caries and other diseases of the oral cavity.
Thanks to the use of Blendamed 3D white, you can achieve the following effect:
- Lighten the enamel by 1-3 tones.
- Protect enamel, preventing it from weakening and destruction.
- Remove hard plaque from teeth.
- Eliminate age spots on enamel.
- Reduce tooth sensitivity.
- Protect gums and other tissues.
In addition, Blendamed 3D White Lux copes well with the main existing problems:
- Gum diseases. This will gradually weaken the protection of the teeth. The complex effect of such a paste will slow down or completely eliminate such processes.
- Strong sensitivity to hot and cold drinks, food, frosty air inhaled through the mouth, sour, salty and sweet. This causes pain. Toothpaste in this series helps restore thinned enamel.
- Unpleasant odor from the mouth. This problem occurs due to many factors, but is most often associated with diseases of the oral cavity. In particular, this applies to bacteria that accumulate in large quantities on the teeth. The paste will destroy them, thereby eliminating the problem with the unpleasant odor.
In addition, the product copes with tartar on teeth and is used to prevent caries.
Benefits of whitening strips
This product is useful for many users because it is effective in removing long-term plaque from the surface of teeth formed from exposure to tea, coffee, and smoking .
In addition, whitening strips help after using braces . Since when eating food, a bacterial plaque is created under them, destroying the enamel, the teeth become covered with pigment spots and require professional cleaning every month.
Many cannot follow all the rules for caring for braces and the oral cavity, and after they are removed they do not recognize their teeth - they darken.
For your information! This is when the hydrogen peroxide contained in the strip will come to the rescue. By interacting with the top layer of teeth, it will whiten them, as well as disinfect the oral cavity and help strengthen the enamel.
How to use the Blend-a-med 3D White Luxe “Perfection” system
It is known that proper skin care consists of at least two steps: thorough cleansing and subsequent protection. Blend-a-med brings this approach to oral care with its 3D White Luxe two-step system.
- You need to start using Blend-a-med 3D White Luxe “Perfection” with the innovative Blend-a-med 3D White Luxe “Perfection” toothpaste with special microgranules, which works like an exfoliant, removing up to 100% of the surface darkening of the enamel in three days, strengthening the enamel and protecting against caries. With this toothpaste, your smile becomes brighter and whiter. In addition to whitening components, Blend-a-med 3D White Luxe “Perfection” paste contains soluble sodium fluoride, which strengthens enamel and helps prevent the development of caries, making your smile healthy, snow-white and dazzling.
- Complete the procedure with Blend-a-med 3D White Luxe Whitening Booster. Its effect can be compared to that of a sunscreen moisturizer. Just as it protects your skin from UV rays, a whitening booster protects your teeth from plaque buildup for 24 hours.
The Blend-a-med 3D White Luxe whitening enhancer technology is based on polyphosphates in the form of soluble microgranules that eliminate surface darkening of the enamel and form a stable protective layer, preventing the formation of new darkening for up to 24 hours. Using a whitening system, you can safely enjoy coffee, wine and other coloring products without fear of your smile losing its whiteness.
The Blend-a-med 3D White Luxe two-phase system is part of the best Blend-a-med beauty collection.
For reference: Blend-a-med also produces other teeth whitening products. To achieve maximum whitening results at home, use Blend-a-med 3D White Luxe whitening strips once a year. While toothpaste and a whitening booster daily remove superficial enamel stains and protect teeth from forming new ones, Blend-a-med 3D White Luxe whitening strips work on the deeper layers of enamel, removing years of staining that toothpaste cannot remove.
Before using Blend-a-med 3D White whitening products, consult your dentist.

Feedback about use
Users note that, like any product, whitening strips have positive and negative sides .
From positive reviews:
This is not the first time I have used this product, and the result is immediately noticeable - my teeth actually whitened by several shades. What a convenient product to use! Simply - simply take them out of the box, stick them on your teeth - and wait for the result. The price is reasonable. I, a student, can afford it. And this is great, because at my age a beautiful snow-white smile is not the last thing. The drug does not irritate the gums and does not ache my teeth; I must bear in mind that I have always had problems with sensitivity in my mouth! I really liked the tool. I recommend to everyone.
I read about Blendamed strips and was skeptical! I was frightened by the reviews that after using this product, uneven stains appear on the teeth. I tried it at my own risk. And... for the first three days there was no result. Then stains appeared on my teeth - I wanted to stop the procedure. But I’m not used to retreating! I completed my experiment. The stains went away within a few hours, and my teeth turned white. I highly recommend it, because even uneven teeth like mine whiten well.
Cheap and cheerful - that’s what I would call the Blend-a-Med 3d white Luxe whitening strips. The course is intended for 10 days, I saw the effect only after I used all the strips from the package. There is an effect, but not for life. I think that it can be used for some kind of celebration, for example, for a wedding. I did the procedure at home 7 days before the event and you look great. But you can’t use it all the time, because hydrogen peroxide cannot be called an absolutely useful chemical for humans.
But, since people have individual intolerance to chemicals, there are a number of negative reviews: “expensive,” “my teeth whitened unevenly,” “didn’t whiten.”
