Product reviews of Crest Whitestrips Classic (56 Strips: 28 Upper, 28 Lower)
Review: Is it worth the money? Yes!
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I used the original Crest White Strips and I'm very happy with the results. It *does* leave a funky taste in your mouth and when it's removed, it's really gross and tacky on the teeth. But if your willing to bypass all of that, it's worth all the yukiness ;). For the first week, I did have some sensitivity that lingered for awhile but it went away after the first week and it left my teeth really white! This is my second time using this (the strips reccomend using it every 6 months for the 'original') and I haven't been happier. One thing that Crest also has out is the 'Night Effects'. It's a paste you leave on overnight. Again, it's kinda weird having something that 'tacky' on the teeth overnight but I did see a difference after the 2 weeks.
It's really all about personal tastes and the people willing to tolerate the downsides of the Crest Whitening Systems.
Review: Excellent, inexpensive, easy, effective
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I was a bit skeptical, but I gave'em a try. The 7-day ones. Easy to use and get used to, and they get great results.
Re: gum pain from contact with peroxide (mentioned in some of the other review here): I have friends who definitely had sore gums whem using this product, but they all were so happy with the results that the soreness did not cause them to diss the product. I personally felt no soreness whatsoever. This suggests that it just depends on individual gum tenderness.
They really do work well, with noticeable results in a mere 2-3 days. And they really do NOT cost $300-$600. My own dentist said in a moment of candor, that these over-the-counter products are actually pretty good. My experience certainly confirms that.
Review: It really works :)
Beauty product: 4 Stars
Before going to my dentist to spend $600 on a whitening tray, I decided to try out these whitestrips first. And good thing I did - my teeth did get whiter.
Why only 4 stars then? The reason is twofold:
- a few sensitivity issues
My teeth/gum got a bit sensitive whenever I used these strips, and the first few times I used them were a bit painful.. I could feel the peroxide 'bubbling' under the strip. If you already have sensitive teeth/gums, I'm not sure that you'll like this.
- results didn't last for 12 months.
I think it's been about 6 months or so since I've tried these, and my teeth are not as white as it was back then. But then again, the fact that I didn't stay away from coffee/tea/soda altogether might explain some of it.
However, lets say that I would be willing to invest in this product again.
Review: Fantastic!
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I've read the reviews about this product and it seems many people have experienced different things. I don't know how people have experienced excruciating pain using this product!! I was really surprised when I read the rest of the reviews.
I noticed my roomante's teeth were so white and I asked her what she was using, and that's how I was introduced to the Crest White Strips.
I bought this product twice. Last year and this year. I started using both strips as directed. But I noticed my teeth were getting sensitive like my roomate said they would, just a little. Also, it was hard to keep both in place using them at the send time.
So I started to use one strip at a time for 30 minutes. I'd use the top in the morning for 30 minutes and the bottom in the evening for 30 minutes.
I read some people were using them for an hour! That's a long time and that makes your teeth more sensitive, you don't really need it that long. I advice not to do it for that long.
Although it does take a little while longer with my process, my teeth got whiter and whiter, although there were not that yellow to begin with. I also cut the excess strip from the bottom strip and used it on the other teeth like another reviewer noted. It works great and you get to save some strips!
If you don't think this product works, you're wrong. It works, but you have to be consistent and patient. Also, you CAN talk, just not move your mouth a whole lot! 30 mnts is all you need twice a day, and you'll be getting whiter teeth in no time.
Also, try not drinking coffee, cold drinks or eating ice or eating right after you put the strips on. Yes, there is a little residue of the clear gel, but all you do is brush your teeth afterward.
Anyway, this is a fantastic product, easy to use, time-saving, and IT WORKS!
Review: Don't Believe the Hype
Beauty product: 3 Stars
Please don't think that using this product will cause you to get cavities. That is rediculous. This product does nothing to remove enamel. If it removed enough enamel to give you cavities, like one reviewer said it did, you would be in pain from sudden sensitivity before worrying about cavities. Ludicrous. I'm not saying how effectively it whitens teeth, because I haven't used it.
