Hello everyone!
I'm having problems with the sentence above as it doesn't seem to be correctly written and I can't figure out a translation. The whole document is about a product for tooth whitening. I pasted part of the text below for a better comprehension.
Advantages
• TOTAL BLANC HOME contains desensitizing in its formula and provided better taste.
• The neutral pH degrease desensibility during the treatment.
• TOTAL BLANC HOME presents controlled viscosity and adhesion: a thin layer cover all surface of the enamel of each tooth.
• The carbamide peroxide is ideal for use at night, while the hydrogen peroxide is more indicated for use during the day.

: "contains desensitizing" => "decreases sensibility" (logical) http://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/anglais-francais/sensib...
