SNOW Teeth Whitening Kit Review – Before And After

Everyone needs a decent toothbrush or toothpaste, but sometimes brushing your teeth alone doesn’t suffice to keep them pristine white—that’s when teeth whitening kits come in handy. Longing for a bright, radiating smile isn’t asking for too much. At the end of the day, a beautiful smile holds more than mere cosmetic value: it’s the special ability to initiate social connection and feel more confident. So when our team heard about the Snow Teeth Whitening Kit touted for its long-lasting results, we couldn’t contain our curiosity—would it actually make our teeth shine brighter?

In this review, I tested the good ol’ Snow Teeth Whitening All-in-One kit that includes four tubes of whitening serum and an LED light for $150—which according to the website, should provide you with 75 treatments, hence about $2 a session per day.

How does Snow Teeth LED Whitening Work?

The Snow Teeth Whitening Kit comes with an LED mouthpiece, a protective case for the mouthpiece, a shade guide, and four twist tubes of whitening serum (three regular strength, one maximum strength). According to the manufacturer’s instructions, you just apply the serum over your freshly brushed teeth, put in the mouthpiece, plug it into your phone or powerbank, and leave it to do its job for 9 to 30 minutes each day, for 21 to 30 days straight. 

What are the Main Ingredients in Snow Teeth Whitening?

The two primary ingredients used in the Snow Teeth whitening serums are hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide, two very common and safe ingredients found in most at-home whitening kits. They’re both acids often used as bleaching agents. Hydrogen peroxide is commonly used in the dental clinic at higher doses whereas at home in lower doses, which is why it can take up to many days for you to notice the results. 

Does LED Light Whiten Teeth?

Albeit popular belief, no. LED lights don’t actually whiten teeth on their own. There’s not much research that proves that LED equals whiter teeth. The active ingredients in a product’s formula are what’s really doing the work, but LED light is believed to ‘activate’ the added additional ingredients.

My First Thoughts on the Kit

I’ll be brutally honest given this is my review: I wish that the kit came with more clarified instructions than just a four-step, four-sentence explanation. You’ll be left wondering what the difference is between the two serum strengths. The answer is: the regular is 6 to 10 percent strength, while the maximum is 12 to 18 percent strength. Plus, you’ll be left confused about when to use them, and how to decide between a nine-minute session vs. a 30-minute session.

In case of doubt, you may go in with 10 minutes, then 20 and 30 minutes, just to weigh the difference in brightness. 

My Teeth Before Whitening 

As much as I love being honest to my audience, I chose not to take an up-close, “intimate” photo of my tea-stained teeth to live on the internet forever. However, I was really surprised to find that my front teeth were only a 2.0 on the shade guide (out of 15), considering I couldn’t remember when’s the last time I visited the dentist.

Teeth Whitening Process

Day 1

I decided to do the least first to see what I was working with. I started with the regular-strength serum and set my phone timer for 10 minutes. When the time’s up, I spit, rinsed, and saw no difference.

Day 2

On this day, I decided to set my timer for the full 30 minutes, still going in with the regular-strength serum. Surprisingly, my teeth still looked the same at the end of the treatment.

Day 3

This time, I switched to the maximum-strength serum, set a time for 20 minutes to see the difference, and finally, I saw a tad bit of improvement. Barely noticeable, definitely not breathtaking, but at least I know it’s working. 

Days 4-10

I continued with the maximum-strength gel and maintained the sessions around 20 to 25 minutes. I did experience some tooth sensitivity around the 7th day, but nothing too intense that I felt like I needed to stop. Some days, I noticed my teeth looked whiter at the end, but other days, it felt like it hadn’t made a difference whatsoever.

My Snow Teeth Whitening Results

After my 10th day, my teeth were a 1.5. Definitely slightly brighter than my original shade of 3.0. SNOW never promised to whiten teeth within 10 days—their website clearly stated 21 days for a reason—but I still expected the maximum-strength gel to be a little more efficient than it was. Guess I just have to be consistent until I reach the 21-days-point. 

But one thing I need to point out is that in comparison with other teeth whitening kits, SNOW leaves more room for user error—including how much serum is applied, how much you salivate, the timing, the strength of the serum, the timing, and so on.

What I Liked (and Didn’t Like) About Snow

What I Liked:

  • Easy to Use

Simply twist the tube, paint the gel on your teeth, pop in the mouthpiece, sit back and relax. It isn’t messy nor does it taste bad—it’s just really easy to use.

  • The Charging Attachments

The fact that you can plug the mouthpiece into your phone or your power bank makes it  lowkey brilliant. Because you’re able to go on your phone until the treatment time’s up.

  • Gentle Formula

Prior to using the kit, I’ve gone through tons of Snow Teeth Whitening reviews, and one thing I kept coming back to was people complimenting how gentle the serums are for sensitive teeth. I have somewhat sensitive teeth and was impressed the maximum-strength formula barely affected me.

What I Didn’t Like:

  • Bulky Mouthpiece

Not everyone is fond of having a bulky guard in their mouth for more than 20 minutes. I found that because the guard doesn’t have grooves for your teeth, you’ll end up biting down to keep it from moving and sliding, which made my jaw and teeth feel slightly aching at the end of the session.

  • The Warm Sensation

A few minutes in, the LED light starts warming up the mouthpiece and your entire mouth. It’s not exactly uncomfortable, but it just adds to the reminder that you’ve got something shoved in your mouth.

  • Lack of Effectiveness

Again, I didn’t test it for the recommended 21 days, but still, I wasn’t particularly impressed by what I saw after 10 days, considering there are more efficient choices on the market. Having said that, SNOW barely irritated my teeth, thus a give and take.

Is Snow Teeth Whitening Effective?

Yes, SNOW is definitely effective at whitening your teeth at a slow and gentle pce. If you’re someone who can’t handle most whitening products due to tooth sensitivity, I’d highly recommend giving SNOW a go, since it’s so customizable. It’s definitely slow, but give it some time and it’ll work.

At the end of the day, all at-home whitening products are essentially the same. They’re bleach products that penetrate your enamel and buff away superficial stains. At the end of the day, your results will boil down to your tooth’s composition. Assuming your enamel is very thin, it’s not going to work as effectively as it would on thicker enamel. The thinner your enamel, the more “transparent” it is, and the more your dentin layer underneath (naturally yellow) will be visible.

With all these in mind, it makes sense that you should always consult your dentist before going overboard with any whitening product. You might think your whitening kit isn’t working, when in fact, you may just have thin enamel that’s showing your dentin—something you can’t whiten and can actually become more visible should you over-use whitening products and damage your enamel.

Final Snow Teeth Whitening Review

Do I recommend Snow Teeth Whitening? Yes! Especially if you’re someone with ultra-sensitive teeth and doesn’t mind going slow. 

If you’re not used to having something in your mouth for an extended period of time, you’ll push through the discomfort somehow, and the process will feel much more seamless. 

Price-wise, the kit is certainly on the higher end of the spectrum, but I found it a worthy investment if it’s within your budget and if you want to amp up your oral routine. 

FAQs

  1. Does SNOW Teeth Whitening damage the enamel?

SNOW Teeth Whitening won’t damage the enamel if used as directed, but the brand recommends not to exceed 30 minutes per day of use. It’s very important not to overdo over-the-counter teeth whitening. There’s a limit as to how much teeth will whiten by bleaching them. When a product isn’t used as intended, it could burn the gum tissue, making your teeth appear unnatural and give off a blue-grayish, translucent look.

  1. How long do the Snow Teeth Whitening results last?

Results can last up to a year. It also depends on external factors like the type of food and drinks consumed that are more prone to staining teeth. Some users can expect to see results for years.

  1. What is the difference between the original serum and the extra-strength serum?

The only difference between the two serums is that the latter is more concentrated than the former. This was added to help users achieve more efficient results. Despite its extra-strength, the brand claims that it’s safe for at-home use and will not cause any unwanted side effects.

  1. How do I know if I applied the right amount of serum?

The coating of the teeth makes the best indicator of whether the proper amount of serum has been applied. Should you apply the proper amount, it won’t clump or drip, and the tooth completely exhibits a light sheen from the gel’s presence.

  1. How long do I have to wait before eating?

The brand recommends waiting 1 to 1.5 hours before eating or drinking.

  1. Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding mothers to use the SNOW Teeth Whitening Kit?

Yes, it’s safe for the use of pregnant or breastfeeding mothers, but for peace of mind, we recommend consulting a dentist before proceeding.
