TWIN LOTUS ACTIVE CHARCOAL TOOTHPASTE HERBALISTE Triple Action 100G (3.52 OZ) x 1 tube

I really can't rate this toothpaste highly enough, and no, before you wonder, I didn't recieve this toothpaste free in exchange for a good review. I bought this toothpaste as a last ditch attempt to avoid a trip to the dreaded dentist. I'd had a sudden onset toothache in one of my molars that no amount of careful eating or Corsadyl mouthwash could budge. Having had some positive experience previously with a Charcoal based tooth powder and tooth ache, I decided to buy this one and give it a go. What appealed to me was that it was an actual paste rather than a powder, which left me hoping it would be a bit less 'crunchy' than the Charcoal tooth powder. Fortunately I wasn't disappointed in that respect, or for that matter in any other regard. The toothpaste has a different, but not unpleasant taste that is both slightly Minty/cooling but also quite Clove flavoured. Personally I have grown to really like the flavour. I'm not sure why, but as another reviewer has commented, unlike lots of other 'conventional' toothpaste, this doesn't leave you the following morning with a Dragon Breath. In respect of its whitening powers, to be honest, I've noticed no change in the colour of my teeth but to be fair I've not really been looking for any. Where I have however absolutely felt a massive difference, is in the speed with which this toothpaste managed to get rid of a horrendous throbbing tooth ache that I'd had for well over a week. Within about two days of using this toothpaste I could feel the throbbing pain beginning to subside, and by the time I got to 5 days of having used this toothpaste I'd almost most forgotten that I' had such bad toothache in the first place. Brilliant product that I will always keep in my bathroom for night time tooth brushing.

I bought this product for bad breath that my daughter and i suffer from. Within a week we noticed a different and felt more confident when speaking to people. The other thing i noticed was that my teeth seemed whiter, not sure if that was to do with active charcoal. Only issue was packaging in another language. But over all very happy with results. Clean breath and whiter teeth can't complain about that.

Its been almost a year since I first purchased this product and I was very excited about this product in the beginning due to chronic bad breath. I was hoping for this to stop now and for some time it worked well. After some time using it though, my breath was even worst than before. On the other hand it works perfectly fine for my partner, so it depends on the person I guess.

Well where to start... I've been using this toothpaste for 10 days now and I can honestly say I really like it. I haven't noticed any tooth whitening effect (see my pic attached - the bottom one is after two weeks of using it and my teeth actually look yellower but I hope it's only lightning 😂) but I can definitely say it reduced the build - up tartar at the back of my teeth. I do have my teeth descaled professionally every three - four months and usually at the end of that period (which is now) I can feel the built-up tartar when I do the "tongue-test' at the back of my teeth. I can honestly say it has been significantly reduced after using this toothpaste for only 10 days. I like the flavour - herbal with a bit of mint. Not so much the colour (black :)). It also improves the breath (no dragon's breath in the morning after waking up!) :) However this toothpaste is missing one key ingredient which is the reason why I'm giving it only three stars - it doesn't contain fluoride which I consider absolutely essential. As the result this will never be my only toothpaste and I'm still looking for my holygrail of toothpaste.

I tried this toothpaste when my brother bought it and I used it for few days. I couldn't come back to the one I used before. I just had to buy this one. It tastes great and cleans my teeth really good. After brushing my teeth I have that great taste in my mouth. Really good product and natural.

Been using this for about 2 months now and no difference noted. Doesn’t whiten teeth in any way.

I bought this after seeing reviews on US Amazon. I have tried about 4 charcoal toothpastes and powders before and all disappointed me. After the first use, i noticed how squeaky clean my teeth were. During the day, there is less build up after using this. By far the best toothpaste i have used! My teeth were slightly yellow but i have seen a difference since using this!

Works really well, I use it every other day and my teeth are definitely whiter and the little bits of staining have definitely started to vanish too.

I read several reviews before I bought this product. So, I thought I would go through it by the things that were pointed out in other reviews: 1. The taste - It has a slight bitter taste and it's a little gritty, but they try to help that by giving it some mint flavoring. You definitely don't want to swallow this, but you shouldn't be swallowing toothpaste anyway, right? 2. Sensitive teeth - I have sensitive teeth and they have not been bothered by this toothpaste, however, my gums were the first few days I used it. 3. Effectiveness - My husband and I have been using this product for 10 days now. Our teeth are noticeably whiter. We did notice a change after the first couple brushes, but not like some people are claiming. We are both older and our teeth have yellowed and they are gradually whitening. I still look at my teeth and see that they are still yellow, but I think after a month or two of using this product, I will see them being more white than yellow. 4. Bad breath - I don't have halitosis, but everyone gets a little foul breath from time to time. This product really does reduces bad breath. It doesn't just mask it with mint like other toothpastes, IT'S GONE. That is a really nice side benefit, considering I bought it to whiten my teeth. I have and will continue to recommend this product. I think it is a much better option than the bleaching trays that make your teeth look patchy and damaged. This seems a safe, natural alternative and one thing I didn't see anything else mention in any of their review, it makes you teeth super soft, almost like you've just come from a dental cleaning. I will be interested to see what my dentist says about my tarter levels on my next cleaning visit. My teeth feel polished after every brushing. I will buy it again.

Good

I've been using this toothpaste for several months now, and I'm confident enough to write a review. I'll give the cons first. Con: 1. You look like a scary rapid dog using this. Black foam coming out of your mouth is just creepy. 2. You must clean your sink every time you brush your teeth. Otherwise you have black stains everywhere, especially around the drain. We have white porcelain, and I really had to scrub the drain with a pumice cleaning stone to get it out. 3. The taste is a little weird, but after four months, I'm used to it. Pros: 1. I cannot use whitening strips at all because my teeth are so sensitive. I had zero issues with this toothpaste. 2. My teeth are noticeably whiter. I'm a heavy coffee drinker, and I'm definitely seeing the benefits of the whitening! 3. My teeth, breath and mouth just feel cleaner ALL. THE. TIME. You know how you feel after leaving the dentist, with your teeth all polished and smooth? And it lasts a hot minute, until your first meal after your cleaning? I now have that feeling all day, every day now! Even morning yuck mouth is much improved. 4. I have far far less tartar build up. When I leave the dentist after a cleaning, I have a small space between my bottom two front teeth. That space fills with tartar almost immediately. (It's very common - that's where your spit glands are!) It's been five months since my last cleaning and that space is STILL THERE! It's started to build up, but it does stick - it will chip off on its own or with flossing. Amazing! So, clearly, the cons are more nuisances, and the pros are magical. I highly highly recommend!

I'm really torn on how many stars to give this because on one hand, this stuff literally looks and tastes lie $#^&. On the other, it works amazingly well. I've used it twice so far, last night and this morning. Full disclaimer, the first time I used it I was so thoroughly disgusted by the look and the taste and the feel of it in my mouth that I threw up right there in the sink. I really don't think I can stress enough how gross this stuff is. Especially when we're used to toothpaste having a little different consistency and not smelling and tasting like something you would normally scoop out of the litter box after your cat got into the ice cream. That being said, this morning was a little easier. I think I was more prepared and my expectations were better set. I didn't throw up! It was still disgusting and I did gag a little but got through it much better. I did notice that my brush was stained a bit so that's kind of gross. But onto the upside. This stuff works really well. Despite the grossness, my teeth feel cleaner than they have after brushing with any other paste. And it oddly leaves a very clean taste and feel in my mouth afterwards. So, you can understand my dilemma on rating it. But I will continue to use it in the hopes that I will get more and more used to it. Oh, keep those clorox wipes handy too because it will make a mess in your sink.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: to get the full magical whitening effect of this product in just one-week, you must chant out loud the whitening spell written in the back of the tube in Sanskrit while you brush your teeth with it, OR IT WONT WORK! Anywho, since I don't know how to chant THAT kind of spell (I think it's actually Thai) my teeth did not get whiter with one week use (as many, many reviewers claimed), and I will have to update this review when I finish the product. But for now: Bad first impression, I only bought this overpriced toothpaste because a lot of users seemed to get super white teeth with "JUST ONE WEEK OF USE!" many uploaded pictures to prove it, thus adding to the illusion. But now I feel like I was deceived, and it doesn't feel good to be deceived, it doesn't taste great either. This tastes so rancid when you are using it, that it is no surprise you will feel so relieved after you have finished brushing your teeth. It's not your typical feeling of -chemicals disguised with an overpowering mint flavor- you get with standard toothpastes, it's more like a -I will only accept this if it actually whitens my teeth- feeling. A little bit dried around the tube and it looks like black dry clay. it also stained my toothbrush gray, and I still wonder how this will make my teeth whiter. Have been using it for about 2 weeks 3 times a day, and still no sign of any magical whitening effect on my teeth. Note: I will update the review by the end of the tube. If this whitens my teeth, you will know, and I will change my rating to 5-stars (that is the reason I bought it), If my teeth aren any whiter by the end of the tube, must I be sincere, I will totally relate to the "I hate this product" assigned to the 1-star rating.
