Doria Virgin Activated Charcoal Powder Reviews Summary

Teeth Whitening

Pros:

• "Great purchase! I use this for teeth whitening and it actually works. I noticed a difference after only using it for 3 days."
• "I went back to the dentist a few months later and everyone noticed my teeth looked significantly whiter."
• "I'm really surprised and happy that this product actually works and I can't wait to see how my teeth will look after a month!"
• "I mix this in with my toothpaste once a week to whiten them."
• "I brushed for three min. twice a day (morning & evening) and can already see great results."
• "I can definitely see results after only 3 days. My teeth are about 1 shade lighter."
• "Well after one use my teeth are visibly whiter and was not expecting that."

Cons:

• "I never bought it after talking with my dentist and reading advice from others. All say it removes enamel then exposes underlying YELLOW layer."
• "I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!! It made my gums bleed and it got all over my gums it was very hard to brush it off."
• "Charcoal is too abrasive to brush your teeth with. It isn't removing stains, it's WEARING DOWN YOUR ENAMEL."
• "Bought to whiten my teeth, after two uses it has already started to strip my enamel and make my teeth sensitive."
• "Turned my teeth brown and stained them even more."
• "But I got it to whiten my teeth and it did not work at all for that."
• "The charcoal powder was too fine to remove any stains."

Packaging and Design

Pros:

• "The container looks exactly like the picture."
• "It comes in a black plastic container."
• "The glass container with the plastic top is fairly well done as far as packaging and design."
• "Great quality, love the glass jar."
• "The bottle is nice and sturdy, nothing fancy, just practical."
• "The jar is made of glass, which I like."
• "I enjoy that this packaging is mostly eco-conscience with the jar being glass instead of plastic."

Cons:

• "This is a non returnable item. It was delivered with broken seal, and the foil peeled already."
• "This is a GREAT product, but a little more packaging science could go a long way. There is a mini charcoal snow storm every time the jar opens or closes regardless of how careful you are."
• "The only problem I have is the jar is a bit on the small side and there is no easy way to apply this with making a mess."
• "The major drawback of charcoal is that it stains everything."
• "The jar did arrive with a broken lid. I was a bit concerned, but the jar did have a safety seal inside."
• "The bottle was not sealed outside and when I decided to open it I found there were little holes like made with a needle (broken)."
• "I do not recommend this even when it's closed tight powder goes everywhere my counter looks disgusting."

Usage and Applications

Pros:

• "Every household should have charcoal in their arsenal since it has so many applications."
• "Many uses for activated charcoal!"
• "I am blown away by all the various uses of it!"
• "This is a versatile product that can be beneficial in many ways."
• "I use this for many things. Making a natural toothpaste, making holistic pills, add it to lotions and body washes and face scrubs."
• "Artists will be happy to know that if you use white or natural color resin clay such as Apoxie Sculpt you won't have to buy both white and black, but just mix some of this charcoal powder into the quantity you need for that particular project after blending parts A and B together and it will turn your clay black so that you can get the best effects with holographic or iridescent mica powder or paint."
• "I love this product that I've been using in my homemade makeup --- specifically for eyeliner, mascara, and eye shadow."

Cons:

• "It works well in this regard, but it did leave a weird aftertaste to the chocolate icing."
• "I'm not sure if the claims on here are really true to what this product does as far as whitening teeth."
• "It is just short lived though."
• "Be mindful, Activated Charcoal will also absorb medications and supplements, so it is not good for everyday use."
• "But also remember if a teaspoon or more is ingested activated charcoal will clear out any medication‘s you have in your system."
• "I tried this as a whiting method for under my arms. And it has caused bumps."
• "This charcoal powder RUINED my front tooth!"
