Customer Reviews of Crest Whitestrips Pro Effects,10-Day Dental Whitening Formula System, 40 Strips (Packaging May Vary)
Customer Review: Decent Strips
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried Crest Whitestrips in the past and they did about a good as job as you get for 30 bucks. I did notice a little whitening, but don't expect this product to perform miracles. If they've advanced the whitenening formula with these I will let you know in a follow up review. I just started using them and since it says if you have sensetive teeth to use once a day instead of two I am going to do that. One thing I've noticed is that they're tricky to put on at first. The bottom is a lot harder because the strip is so small and doesn't want to stick to your bottom teeth. It says not to brush your teeth before you put them on, but since I just ate, I brushed my teeth. Other people say to brush your teeth as well so I just did. For 30 bucks this isn't a bad product. If you have really yellow teeth from smoking, drinking soda, or just never brushing your teeth, I would invest in this package instead of spending 5 dollars on cigarettes. Good luck!Customer Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very unsure about buying these, because I felt like the whole idea was just too simple. They worked wonders though.
My two front teeth have always been very white, whereas all the teeth on the sides were quite stained. Just the fact that my two front teeth were whiter made the stains so much more noticeable.
So, I bought theses and cut the strips so that I could use them on my side teeth only, and it only took around five days for the teeth on the side to match my front teeth. It was very, very easy, and gave such great results.
Be warned though, this product does make your teeth very sensitive and it can be painful. It says on the box that you can do both half hour sessions back to back, but I think it's better to give your teeth a bit of a break. If you haven't noticed though, I still put five stars. I just think that the bit of sensitivity you'll have to endure is so worth the results.
Customer Review: A far better alternative is available.
Summary: 3 Stars
When I used these strips, I found that they were too flimsy, and therefore tended to bend back over themselves, making them difficult to apply. After they were applied to the teeth, they did not always stay in place and tended to slide around. Also, it is inconvenient to have to remove the strips, when they have done their work. For these reasons, I do not consider them to be the best alternative. A much better alternative is the dissolving whitening strips manufactured and distributed by CVS Pharmacy, Inc. These strips are less flimsy/ more firm and therefore don't stick onto themselves, they adhere to your teeth far better; AND they dissolve completely in about 5-7 minutes, leaving no messy residue or plastic film to have to discard. On size strip (larger than Crest's) fits both upper and lower teeth. The active ingredients are the same as Crest, but the cost is about half the cost of Crest. Superior to Crest in every way.
Customer Review: Not as great as expected, very painful
Summary: 2 Stars
I have used this kit for the recommended amount of time, and to be honest I was not happy with it at all. First off, the whitening was noticeable but negligible. It was not the whitening I expected, and I did not start with excessively yellowed teeth. When I looked at the difference between my back molars and the teeth being whitened I saw a very very small difference. The real downside to these strips is the intense pain of my teeth now! Everything became painful, and everything I touched made my teeth feel reminiscent of the "nails on the chalkboard" tooth pain some people might also experience. I don't know how to explain it but it was painful and annoying, my teeth constantly ached even without excessive heat or cold. This pain was ridiculous, and it showed up around the 5th day, which forced me to stop the strips for a few days. I do not recommend this product at all! The pain vs the whitening is NOT WORTH IT!Customer Review: Works well; somewhat awkward
Summary: 4 Stars
Though these things certainly do what they advertise (the coffee stains on my teeth are nearly gone), they are not as convenient as advertised. As many will remember, the original advertisement for these strips showed them being used while the female character window-shopped, which showcased the easy-to-use nature of this product. Though I doubt no one attempted such a 'feat,' I don't think people realize the discomfort of using these.
As other reviewers have probably noted, the chemical used does sometimes burn gums; while it isn't terribly painful, it is somewhat annoying. Secondly, the strips don't always stay in place, so they sometimes require more attention than one would want to devote to such a process.
However, despite these few annoyances, this product does work well and I would certainly go through the hassle of it all to conceal the damning evidence my coffee addiction.
