Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects, Whitestrip 3D White, Teeth Whitening Strip Kit, 44 Strips (22 Count Pack), Crest Teeth Whitening Strips, Teeth Whitening Kit

Finally found something that actually works for my coffee-stained teeth!Okay, so I'm one of those people who can't function without my morning coffee (sometimes afternoon coffee too, let's be honest). Add in the occasional glass of red wine, and my teeth... well, let's just say they weren't exactly photo-ready.I've been down this road before with whitening products. Tried those messy gels that never stayed put, those pen things that felt like I was coloring my teeth, and don't even get me started on the charcoal trend. Nothing really stuck or gave me results I could actually see.But these Crest 3D Whitestrips? Game changer.What you get and how it worksThe box comes with 44 strips total - that's enough for 22 treatments since you need one for top teeth and one for bottom. They're all individually wrapped, which is nice because I actually took some with me on a work trip.I committed to using them once a day for two weeks straight. And honestly? I was skeptical at first. But by day 4, I caught myself doing a double-take in the bathroom mirror. My teeth actually looked... brighter? By day 10, even my coworker asked if I'd gotten my teeth professionally done.The difference was pretty dramatic - maybe 2 or 3 shades lighter. Even some old stains from my college years (when I drank way too much coffee) seemed to fade.The actual experienceUsing them is pretty straightforward - peel off the backing, stick them on, wait 30 minutes, then peel them off. The strips actually stay put, which was a pleasant surprise after dealing with other products that would slide around.They're thin enough that I could still talk normally, though I probably sounded a little funny. I usually just put them on while catching up on Netflix or scrolling through my phone.The only downside? Around day 6, I started getting these little zings of sensitivity in a couple of my teeth. Nothing unbearable, but definitely noticeable. Switching to Sensodyne for a few days helped a lot. If you've got sensitive teeth to begin with, you might want to do every other day instead.Random tips I learned the hard wayDry your teeth with a tissue first - the strips stick way betterDon't brush right before using them (learned this one the painful way)Keep them somewhere cool - I left mine in my hot car once and the adhesive got weirdYou get 8 extra treatments beyond the 14-day program, which is perfect for touch-upsBottom lineLook, I've dropped serious money on professional whitening before, and honestly? These worked just as well for a fraction of the cost. Are they perfect? No - the sensitivity thing is real, and you do have to plan around that 30-minute commitment. But if you want results you can actually see without breaking the bank or sitting in a dentist's chair, these are legit.I'm definitely ordering another box for maintenance - probably every few months or so.The good stuff:Actually works (saw results by day 4)Easy to use once you get the hang of itStrips don't slide around like other brandsWay cheaper than professional treatmentsThe not-so-great:Some tooth sensitivity (but manageable)Half an hour is kind of a commitmentCan't drink anything while wearing themHope this helps if you're on the fence! Happy to answer questions if you have any.

Let me start by saying that I'm 28 years old and I never had my teeth whitened or even crossed my mind in doing so, I thought they look "okay" the way they were but boyyy I was wrong. This is a review with some info of my own experience using the product & to guide you on what you might expect and maybe help you with a decision. Aight, now I want to say that this product has impressed me soo much that this might be the longest review I ever wrote and no, I have not been sponsored or paid by this company, this is just my opinion and my honest review. Anyways, Crest 3D White Strips is one of those things that you didn't know you needed but trust me, this thing it's amazing. It went beyond my expectations and it's one of those products that I'll be buying on the regular from now on. Make sure that you are consistent and follow the directions when using it. The kit comes with 20 treatments + 2 One Hour Express treatments as a bonus. So it takes 20 days for the whole process plus 2 more days if you use the bonus treatments. One treatment per day and each treatment comes with 2 "whitening strips" one for lower and one for upper teeth.Also a little DISCLAIMER : I took pictures of the whole process and under the same lighting at around the same time of the day, I tried to take the photos with the same angle but no angle is exactly the same. Due to this some photos might look slighty different and with slighty different colors. You might also notice some slight color variations but every phone screen is different. As a reference the photos were taken on a Galaxy S22 Plus. I will also label the photos so you know which part of the process they are from. The pictures were taken as follows:1. before starting the kit (DAY 1)2. Half way tru the kit (DAY 10)3. At the end of the kit (DAY 20)4.after using the 1 Hour Express (DAY 21)5.after using the 2nd 1 Hour Express (DAY 22)6. And last, a picture from before starting the whole kit and a picture from the very end of the whole kit including the 2 One Hour Express.(DAY 1 & DAY 22)So to clarify, I used the whole kit including the 2 bonus treatments back to back but I don't think you have to do it exactly that way; I think is better if you use the 2 bonus treatments down the line, maybe a few months after the regular kit to somehow "extent" the whitening effect..? I think that is the reason why the whitening effect is less noticeable on the 1 Hour Express photos than the regular kit photos.Also on another note.. You might have seen on the reviews that you get sensitive teeth while using the kit, this is true but is not as bad a you think, at least for me it wasn't. In my experience I had sensitive teeth on some of the days that I used the kit but it goes away in a hour or two after each treatment. Sensitive tooth paste should help but dont let that discourage you cuz the end results are soo worth it !Now, I want to end this review by saying that this product is worth every penny and I 100% recommend this to anyone. Also the pictures SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES ! I hope this review helps you on making a decision . SMILE life is good, have a good day ! :)

I can't say enough about Crest whitening strips! I've seen friends get much whiter teeth using these strips but never could afford them. I just got my first box today and try the extra super whitening 1 hour included in the box of 40 strips and I left it on both pepper and bottom teeth and was really surprised at how many levels wider my teeth were after. I'm so excited! My teeth aren't sensitive and neither are my gums after. This was my first time using these strips and the instructions say the sensitivity can come over time so I also bought sensodyne toothpaste to use before along with flossing and will be using the Crest whitening mouthwash after I remove the strips. I'm so happy with just this first time that I already know this is a great product! I definitely recommend these whitening strips over any other. This box says 1 hour for the two extra whitening strips packs and 45 minutes for the other 20 regular whitening packs versus the box my daughter bought that says only 30 minutes. Just an FYI that there's a difference between my whitening strips and hers. I love these! We'll see how my teeth look and feel after I'm done as I'm supposed to use them every single day per instructions. I think buying the sensodyne toothpaste and crest mouthwash was a good idea after reading a little bit about whitening at home.
