Nu Skin AP 24 Whitening Fluoride-Free Toothpaste

Overpriced for what it is, mostly polishing ingredients, not true remineralization tooth paste.I used this toothpaste for over a year (it works) and decided to look more closely at the ingredient list because the price is high for what it actually contains. After researching the ingredients, I realized most of the “whitening” effect appears to come from polishing/abrasive agents like hydrated silica and aluminum hydroxide, which can help remove surface stains but are not the same as rebuilding enamel or preventing cavities.The formula is fluoride-free, but it also does not appear to contain the ingredients I would actually want for enamel support, such as hydroxyapatite, calcium phosphate, or other true remineralizing minerals. It also contains ingredients like SLS, PEG-12, poloxamers, dimethicone, flavor/aroma, sodium saccharin, titanium dioxide, and aluminum hydroxide. Some people may be comfortable with those, but I personally do not love seeing aluminum-based ingredients, titanium dioxide, vague “flavor,” and unnecessary additives in something used directly in the mouth.Your mouth is highly absorbent, and even if you are not swallowing toothpaste, ingredients are still sitting on oral tissue daily. Companies need to start listening to customers who want cleaner, functional products instead of charging premium prices for fancy packaging and formulas that do not actually solve the bigger problem.For the price, I feel like you are mostly paying for the brand and packaging. I decided I could make a better fluoride-free version myself with ingredients that actually support enamel at home and will start making with inflation hitting my budget.Simple DIY idea found on Amazon :Nano-hydroxyapatite powder, calcium carbonate powder, xylitol, vegetable glycerin, distilled water, and optional food-grade flavoring. Mix into a paste and store in a clean container. That gives you gentle polishing, better taste, sugar-free sweetness, and actual remineralizing support without all the extra fillers.This toothpaste may polish stains, but for the price, I expected a much better formula.

I've been using AP-24 consistently, and it's become one of my favorite whitening toothpastes. It leaves my teeth feeling exceptionally clean and smooth after every brushing, and my smile looks noticeably brighter over time. I also like that it doesn't leave my teeth feeling sensitive like some whitening products can.The vanilla mint flavor is refreshing without being overpowering, and a little goes a long way. While it isn't a bleaching treatment, I found it does a great job removing everyday surface stains and helping maintain a brighter smile with regular use. AP-24 relies on gentle polishing ingredients to remove surface stains rather than peroxide bleaching

I've been using this toothpaste for at least 5 years. When I go to the dentist for cleaning, I don't need to be numbed any more. It really does work. My teeth are whiter too.

Whitens teeth, freshness and good taste as well as texture. One tube lasts a long time as you don’t need much to use.This is my favorite toothpaste. Even my gums are healthier from this toothpaste.

I am almost 70 years old and today a lady at the gym complimented my teeth and asked if I had veneers. I have been using this toothpaste for several years and my teeth stay white in between my bleaching them, which is every 3 months. I do get complimented frequently which is very appreciated since I am not one of those people with naturally white teeth.A tip that I personally do, is every so often after brushing my teeth at night, I don't spit out for about 10 minutes. The toothpaste has no bad taste or harmful chemicals so I might sit and watch the news, swishing the liquid around my mouth. It whitens even further that way.Even though it is pricey, you use only a small pea size amount so a tube does last a long time.
