Thank you Chickadvisor, this was my first free product to review! It was a very exciting experiance from getting the Crest 3D 2 hour Whitestrips to trying them out. I found the process extremely easy to use. These strips are definitely for me since I have tried the one week whitestrips before and usually I get to about the third day and forget to use them or get too busy to use them. I love that Crest has made just a one shot two hour Whitestrips. I love even more that I got to try them for free. I am a pretty frugal shopper and don't think if I saw them in the store not knowing if they would work 100% the way I wanted them to that I would spend the money on them. I noticed my teeth getting whiter about 30 minutes after I put the strips on. They did noticably whiten my teeth but it wasn't a dramatic change which is exactly what the box claims "noticably whiter teeth". Using this product has opened my mind to trying their other whitining products maybe next time I will try the ones that say dramatically whiter teeth. I would buy these again in a heart beat even though they seem on the expensive side they really aren't considering that you get a WHOLE YEARS supply for only approx. $55 I think that is a pretty good deal!
Thank you Chick Advisor for giving me the opportunity to try out the new Crest CD Whitestrips 2-Hour Express.
My overall experience with this product is different from the ones that I have tried in the past. First off, the length of time that I had to keep the strips on for; that didn’t bother me because I kept myself occupied for that 2 hours anyway. I like how I didn’t have to struggle with “slipping strips” because this one stayed put from the time I put them on. I feel as if the top strip should be a bit longer though.
The strips were not hard to take off, but it’s definitely an improvement from the last whitening strips that I have tried previously. The only issue I have right now is that my teeth are hurting. I don’t have sensitive teeth, but right now I am feeling slightly uncomfortable. Hopefully this will wear off within a day.
I haven’t noticed too much of a difference with my teeth, but I did take a “before” picture, so I really should take an “after” picture and compare the two. Would I try these again? Sure, we did get a years’ worth of whitening strips, so why not? I just need to be watchful of the sore teeth…
Thanks again.
A big thanks to Chick Advisor for choosing me to review this product! I have used various Crest Whitestrips in these by far are the best ones out there. I love how it only takes 2 hours. With the other ones I would maybe remember to wear them a couple times a week let alone twice a day! They stick really well and are easy to apply. Either by using whitening toothpaste or good fortune I have relatively white teeth. This product however still whitened them significantly. I could only imagine the results of this product on someone who is a regular coffee drinker or smoker. There is a years supply in the box which I was pleasantly surprised of. I have sensitive teeth but did not find this product to increase sensitivity whatsoever. This is definitely the best whitening strip out on the market and well worth the price.
Thank you to Chick Advisor for letting me review this product.
The box comes with 4 sets of strips. One strip to be used every 3 months and the box is therefore good for whitening your teeth for a year.
The strips were fairly easy to apply with easy to follow instructions that came with the packaging. The strips stuck on well. They tasted a bit weird though. They were easy to take off as well. The results were a little dissappointing though as I did not notice much of a difference in the colour of my teeth. They were very slightly lighter although I was expecting a much more noticeable result. I do not smoke or a heavy caffeine consumer so my teeth are not that stained to begin with. So I doubt this product would work if at all for someone with heavily stained teeth.
I have sensitive teeth to begin with and the next day of using these strips my teeth are extra sensitive. This was mentioned as a side effect in the package instructions though so hopefully it will go away in a couple of days.
I should mention though that my teeth do feel cleaner.
I guess for now will have to depend on professional whitening at the dentist's. I give this product a thumbs down. Not worth it.
THANK YOU TO CHICK ADVISOR FOR SENDING ME THIS PRODUCT FOR FREE!
YOU ALL ROCK my SOCKS!
My overall experience with this product was good! better at least than Ive had in the past with their other product.
The previous whitening treatment I used was their older one, that was way less than 2 hours. BUT I hated the old one! Their shorter timed one did not stick to my teeth properly leaving me having to just sit in my bathroom and wait. The old whitening Crest strips I used also hardly made a difference to my teeth colour. so it is for sure better than my last whitening treatment!
I would consider buying this product in the future even if it is a little on the expensive side because it works, well worked for my teeth, and I dont have to do it every month which is nice because it is annoying, yet rewarding to do.
It stuck to my teeth like THAT! So I do warn, when applying the strips to your teeth do it slowwwwly as so you dont fuck up! Because I applied mine fast without thinking, and I didnt fully cover my lower teeth. There was a tiny line showing the difference (but was also exciting because I could see the difference it made!!)
Overall...YES BUY IT! its worth it.
I was very excited to receive the new Crest 2 hour Whitestrips as I had tried a couple of the previous versions of Whitestrips and I was due for a touch-up of my teeth. I was eager to see if the results would match that of the 2 week Whitestrips version.
My initial apprehension was that I was afraid that the 2 hour Whitestrips would make my teeth very sensitive as I have found that some of the previous types had done so. While I did also experience sensitivity after I had used the strips, it was not as sensitive as I had anticipated, given the increase in strength of the Whitestrips. Sensitivity is a subjective factor that I felt for me personally was bearable (as it was temporary), for the results that I got. Furthermore, I was happy to see that I would only have to do one treatment every 3 months as opposed to as many as 2 treatments a day for 2 weeks. For anyone who has ever used whitening strips, they can definitely appreciate the efficiency and convenience of this, as it is both time-consuming and uncomfortable to wear these strips for long periods of time in one's mouth, so minimizing the amount of time using these strips was a plus.
Also while $54.99Can may seem like a steep cost up front, when you take into account the fact that the 4 provided treatments could last up to 12 months, it is actually quite a bargain. Most whitening treatments are sold for approximately that price and are usually 3 month treatments.
In short, I was impressed with this new 2 hour version and will probably be purchasing it again. While you should be wary of it if you have particular teeth sensitivities (in that case, consult your dentist before using these), for most people it should not bother them too much.
All in all, a great addition by Crest to their whitening line.
My initial thoughts on this product. While reading through the little booklet that comes in the box I didn't notice very complex steps. They were pretty vague actually. They have three steps to remove from packaging, place on teeth, and remove after 2 hours. I figured it would be easy enough I just needed to find 2 hours that I wouldn't be hungry or thirsty. That is actually pretty hard for me! You also can't brush your teeth before doing the treatment so doing later at night was out of the question too.
Upon opening the strips and trying to apply them I noticed they were really long for my mouth. I don't know if anyone else had problems with them, but for me I had problems getting the top ones to stay put. They kept sliding because I couldn't wrap the ends under because they were so long they went back to my molars and didn't adhere 100% at the back which made them shift down. Once they were applied I noticed that I had a lot of saliva and I really wasn't sure if I could swallow it or since these strips are peroxide if I had to spit it out. I opted to spit it out and that was when I started having slippage problems with the top strips. I really wish they had more instructions in the booklet. I ended up trying to search the internet for the answer. The taste also leaves a lot to be desired and may not be ideal for anyone with a delicate gag reflex. I got about 20 minutes into treatment and my teeth and gums were hurting so bad I opted to remove the strips. My gums were actually bleeding as soon as I removed the strips. I can't fairly judge how well they whiten since I didn't stick out the full two hours, but for me personally the pain is not worth any amount of teeth whitening.
Pros
One treatment every 3 months
One box is a years worth of treatments
Easy to follow instructions
Large strips that cover well
Cons
Kind of messy if you have to keep repositioning them like I did
Strips were too large for my smaller mouth so they didn't adhere as well as they should have
Bleeding gums after 20min
Very sore gums and teeth after only 20min
Taste is horrible
Overall I would never purchase these again and am not sure if I am going to attempt a full two hour treatment since my gums are still throbbing from the short time they were on my teeth tonight. I think I would rather use whitening toothpaste and mouthwash since I don't have badly stained teeth to begin with.
Just want to thank Chick Advisor for sending me this product to test. Even though it didn't work out for me I was very excited to have this product show up on my doorstep.
The thing I loved the most about the Crest 3D White Whitestrips was how easy to use and convenient they were! I found the instructions in the box super easy to understand and follow and had no problem with the application of the strips. I was worried that they would feel weird on my teeth or slip around after a while of being in my mouth, but they didn't budge at all. They stuck on to my teeth great and after a while I barely noticed they were there.
I didn't have any sensitivity while wearing the strips which was great, especially since I have recently had problems with sensitive teeth. I did find though that a few hours after removing the strips I had a bit of a throbbing pain on my teeth. The pain wasn't too bad though and did go away after brushing my teeth the next morning.
The only downside with the whitestrips is that I didn't notice much of a difference in the whiteness of my teeth when I finished. When I took the strips off the only thing I really noticed it that I had some very white spots on my teeth (which did go away after a few hours), but too me the general tooth area looked the same, though it may be a bit more difficult to notice as my teeth are not badly stained.
I do love that the pack came with a years supply of whitening strips, so I of course plan to try them out 3 months down the road again. Even though I didn't notice too much of a change I would definitely continue to use these strips to help maintain my smile!
I whitened my teeth today with these Crest whitestrips and I was quite disappointed. I really didn't notice much of a difference at all :(
My teeth weren't horribly stained or anything, but they could have used a little brightening. The first problem for me was the lack of instructions, I mean it's not like you need to be a genius to understand what to do but it really would have been helpful to have more information.
I found the bottom strip to be a little small and the top one a bit too big, I had trouble getting in my mouth. I noticed a bit of a taste, but nothing unbearable. It did feel weird at first and i wondered how I would last 2 hours, but I got used to them after awhile. I didn't experience any discomfort while I had them in nor when I took them off.
I found taking them off was a bit difficult and the strips were very sticky, even so my teeth were not. I didn't feel any residue or stickiness, my teeth felt super clean but weren't very noticeably whiter. My top teeth maybe, but I had difficulty with my bottom teeth, they aren't super straight so I had to play around with the strip to get it on right. I was worried about tooth sensitivity, but I had none.
I'm going to get my boyfriend to try them out and update if he has results. I'm happy I got these through the review club because I would have been angry had \i paid that much for nothing.
After receiving the kit it took me a few days to test it. I thought the 2 hour wait would be too much, but it was not. The instructions were simple and easy to understand and the whole process itself was easy. I had previously used the 2 week Crest whitestrips but had not been impressed. During the two hour process, the strips did not bother me, I was able to speak pretty clearly and did not feel any discomfort. I did feel some sensitivity later that night, but it was no big deal. I have not had any discomfort since then. All in all, I am very happy with the product. I had seen it at some stores, but the price tag always mede me walk away. Had I known what great results I would have, I would have purchased it a long time ago. Also, as a nice little bonus, the box had 3 more sets of strips which can be used 4 months apart - a whole year's worth!!! I will definately recommend this products to friends and family, in fact, I already have.
