Smileactives teeth whitening gel

Smileactives teeth whitening gel Revue: A TOTAL MARKETING GRIFT-SCAM.

I drink coffee in the morning and so can use a good teeth whitening product. So I decided to try Smileactives. I ordered it on January 4th 2026 and my card was billed a few days later. I received it about a week later. I’ve been using it as directed twice daily since but have seen little improvement in the color of my teeth. Together with the dab of toothpaste, it cleans very well. And the elect brush works fine. But my teeth do not seem to be getting any whiter after over a month. I will continue for another month to see if it works.

As for their online presence, the website is primarily focused on sales and hyping the products. It’s not clear up front at all. But after recieving your order, eventually you learn that they automatically send unsolicited products (a large gell bottle and 3 tooth brush ends that you yourself have no idea they are setting you up with) and bill your credit card automatically and monthly, or longer if you take issue with them, but the kicker is, there is no way on the website to end the orders. Additionally, you don’t even have to set up an account for them to scam you in this way. All you have to do is place an order.

When I placed an order, at a discount (bait) there was no mention of an ongoing contract. I was misled to believe it was a regular business, and that I myself would re-order if I liked the product and wanted to continue, or at least given than option to do so. But Noooooooo. To my surprise, upon receiving an order a month later, large size amount and extra tooth brush ends, I contacted customer service on the phone to ask why I had received extra stuff when I had not ordered any.

The customer support woman was friendly enough, but was obviously reading from a script that used HIGH PRESSURE SALES TACTICS. I had to emphasize to her repeatedly in no uncertain terms that I did not want monthly shipments of this stuff. Instead of just telling the truth, or asking me if I wanted to cancel, or stating the truth that there is no way to cancel online, and that the company she works for is a total marketing scam, the woman tried her best to follow the script, apparently.

She kept beating around the bush, trying to get me to buy into them moving out the delivery date of the next shipment (that I never ordered and did not want in the first place). Infuriating! I had to tell her this 3 or 4 times before she LIED and said verbally that the ongoing shipments would end.

After the call I received an email from the company saying the shipment had been moved out to August.

I went back to the website, poked around in it for about a half hour and confirmed THERE IS NO WAY TO CANCEL YOUR ORDER. SO YEAH, TOTAL SCAM. And the web design is awful as well.

It’s too bad. Because the business could have chosen to be honest and try to provide a positive experience for their costumers. The product does contain hydrogen peroxide, but seemingly not enough to do any good in the business of teeth whitening.(They must be taking their Qs from Donald Trump, the grifter in chief).

I dont like to do this kind of thing…

I dont like to do this kind of thing but I need to alert to other customers about this company. I bought the offer buy one dental cream I get another free. I paid I received the product. Never subscribe because it was a gift t to someone else. They sent me another brush (set of 3) i bought it was part of the offer and I never watched that! But today 2/19/26 i realized they been charging me $47.24 since October and I only received 2 orders and when I called they says they cancel the subscription letting me talking by myself on the phone because I never heard anyone on the other side. I received an email with the confirmation of the cancelation and that I still own another $94.22. This is ridiculous and scam and please never do business with companies like this one. Be careful.

Do not use SmileActives - SHADY business practices

initially customer service seemed ok but this company practices offering a deal for a single order and in VERY fine print says after 1 month they will start your recurring subscription service. You get NO email notifying when the subscription shipment goes out so I found this out from a charge on my credit card and when I called they said they did not have to notify when these shipments go out. I would NOT purchase from this company and wish I had been more diligent before I ever purchased the single order. The product doesn't seem to be working great either and is not pleasant on my lips if I follow directions.

DO NOT BUY!

I bought this item to try it. I received it and used it for two weeks. The product is a waste of time, as it does not work at all. The advertising is very deceptive.
As for the company's practices, I was enrolled in a subscription I did not want. Upon being notified that my second shipment was in process, I cancelled. Although the order was in process, they refused to cancel it. It cost me $9.80 to return it, and subsequently told that I would not be reimbursed for the return shipping.
I called to verify the return and inquire about my refund, and was assured I would receive my payment shortly. When notified about the refund, it was $9.89 short.
Luckily, I will open a PayPal ticket to recover my shorted refund and shipping costs.
DO NOT BUY from these charlatans.

SCAM

SCAM, company beware.. If you purchase this product you are unknowingly signing up for a subscription!!

They take your card number and charge it without your permission.
I accepted and paid for the first shipment but then canceled my subscription (that I didn’t know I had agreed to) and THEN they charge my card for a 2nd time for a product I didn't place..

Completely deceptive and unethical. Disputing charge through my cc company. Stay away!!!!
Deceptive business practices. Charged my CC for 2nd shipment(which I didn't sign up for)
Now they are threatening me with sending me to "collections" which is deplorable because I never signed up!!!
And when I called the customer service number I was told there was no documentation in the account that I had called to stop the bogus account and had spoken to someone.
Doesn't help the customer service company is overseas!!! That by itself is a challenge.

I ordered what I thought was a simple…

I ordered what I thought was a simple trial whitening product — big mistake. After checking out I was automatically enrolled in a pricey subscription I never agreed to, and before I realized it I was hit with multiple charges. When I tried to cancel and asked for a refund, customer service was unhelpful and dismissive, and they kept finding reasons not to actually stop billing me. The whitening gel itself didn’t do anything noticeable, and now I’m left fighting unexpected charges with my bank. Absolutely the worst online purchase experience I’ve ever had and I would warn everyone to stay far away.

It does not work

It does not work. They sent another tube without consent and can’t email them because it told me that it was an invalid email. On the line for an hour and no answer. Bogus!!!! Please don’t order this. You will be highly disappointed

Rip off

The ad say 100% say whiter teeth. From my experience and all the reviews I saw that's a total lie. I bought the plan with two bottles of smile actives and the toothbrush for myself. One bottle for me and one for my wife. We've both used it for over 2 months and have not noticed a single difference. Its a total rip off and a waste of money. Don't bother purchasing this product. You will just be throwing your money away.

Buyer Beware

Another person that ordered on Black Friday deal and was subscribed. The first order had just arrived due to shipping issues and they shipped out products at full price. One large gel, three toothbrush-heads and 3 gel pens $190+
Absolutely INSANE pricing! Buyer beware!
I canceled subscription and sending this crazy order back for a refund.

The product itself was ok

The product itself was ok. Definitely not what it advertises. I ordered the promotion two for $24.95. The next month my cc was charged an additional $30.78 and I received another container of product. This container cost a total of $90.00+ they break up the payments into three equal payments. Yikes. Chatted with Customer Service. I guess I signed up for this. I cannot remember anything like this when I ordered. It must be hidden pretty good.
My only way out was to return all product under the 60 Day Guarantee with total refund. You pay shipping. Then Customer service said they would not charge me any additional payments, just keep the product. Interesting. Big Scam for sure!

BE WARNED….Its cost way more than you sign up for

Charged more than was supposed to. I did not sign up for that. They charged almost 186.00 for what was originally a 46.00 that I ordered after paying that they charged over 68.00 each month even after I called a wrote them to cancel
Horrible customer service…..told them to cancel and verbal and in writing and they still charged me again. I disputed the charge and they just did it again

BE VERY CAUTIOUS….I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS TO MY WORST EMEMY……

If I could give zero stars I would

If I could give zero stars I would. Complete garbage and who brushes their teeth that many times in one day.
The pen is ineffective in allowing the gel to flow

Do yourself a favor

Do yourself a favor. Don't buy this product. The product is not effective. Moreover, after a month that I purchased the products, they had charged me 30.00. Mind you this is only 1st of 3 monthly payments. Apparently, I unknowingly purchased 90.00 worth of 3.8oz toothpaste. Thank me later. You're welcome!

SCAMMERS - THEIVES

SCAMMERS! This company is criminal!
When you order, you automatically get signed up for a subscription that is almost 3 times as much as the initial order price. It is not stated anywhere that you will be automatically signed up, with the exception of the very bottom of the email confirmation of your initial purchase.
On 2/11 I was charged $63.37 out of the blue, approximately one month after my initial purchase on 1/13. I called and was told that the item was already shipped, and that there would be 2 additional charges of $63.37 (3/14 and 4/14) but if I wanted to keep it, they would omit the the 4/14 payment. I said absolutely NOT! Insult to injury, they said that I would be responsible for shipping and handling for returning! I am beyond ANGRY! They should be closed down! This is theft!

Do NOT buy from them

Do NOT buy from. As others have said, this company signs you up for multiple product shipments without your consent (or it's hidden in fine print).

Deceptive business practice

If you purchase this product you are unknowingly signing up for a subscription. I even accepted and willingly paid for the second shipment (that was a surprise) but then canceled my subscription (that I didn’t know I had agreed to) and THEN they charge my card for a 3rd time (no product) just the “balance on my account.” Completely deceptive and unethical. Disputing charge through my cc company. Stay away!!!!

This company is a scam


This company is a scam. I signed up for a trial sample and was automatically signed up for a subscription without being notified. I received a notification that my account was already charged again cancelled the subscription online and then called customer service to cancel the pending order and after waiting on hold for an hour was told we cannot cancel it you can return it at your cost and we will deduct our shipping from your refund. The worst company I have ever called they will be out of business after they screw people out of millions disgusting how these companies get away with this I am done ordering anything unless it is thru a website I trust. All these companies are just trying to find a way to screw people out of money before they go out of business.
