    Overall, I would recommend this product to a friend.

    CONS:
    Two hours was a very long time to have these on your teeth!
    My teeth ended up a little sensitive after using the product (though this went away after a few days).

    PROS:
    The strips stay where you put them and don't start to peel off like I assumed they would.
    The results were good.. I was hoping for more but I suppose you can only expect so much!

    The packaging and application is similar to other whitestrip products. Though these stay put and don't slide around at all - which is a bonus. Finding the time where I was be able to leave these on my teeth for 2 hours was a bit of a challenge and inconvenient.

    My teeth are not to bad to start off with - but I am a tea drinker and was hoping this would give me a brighter look. I was disappointed with results - there was definately no "wow" factor! I barely noticed a change in the color of my teeth. Slightly - but nothing like this product promises. I have had the same results with other Crest Whitestrip products in one application - but the difference is that I didn't have the hassle of leaving them on for 2 hours. Also my teeth were left feeling very sensitive - more so than with previous products that I have tried in the past. Maybe a result for leaving them on my teeth for so long???

    Overall I was not happy with the results and would not recommend this product - there are better ones out there.

    Up until the last year or so I have always been complimented on how white my teeth were. Since I started drinking more coffee and wine I didn't get compliments as much. After trying Crest 3D whitestrips I can definitely see some of the results. Definitely something to use if you have a somewhere to be where you really want your smile to shine! The timing is a little tough but I think overall its well worth it!

    First off, I am sorry for the late post. Part of why is the product. I found it difficult to make a window of opportunity of 2 hours where I wasn't eating, drinking or talking. There is only one thing I liked about the strips; they went on easily. After that (immediately) I had issues. I had a bad taste in my mouth; they become gel-like making me not want to talk (and my job is talking). They felt like they were moving and could come off at any point. In my before and after pic to see if there was a change, I really couldn't see one. I don't think they worked for me at all, so I will not be using the rest of the package in 3 months. Thanks for the opportunity though Chick Advisor!

    I was super excited to be chosen to review this product and used it as soon as I received it.
    I normally use the Classic Crest Whitestrips without pain and with great results. I found these 2 hour express ones to not really do that great of a job, and that night after using them I was woken up by super sensitive teeth!! I have never experienced this before.

    I will continue to use the Classic Whitestrips... I don't recommend the 2 hour express at all!

    I had been wanting to try an at-home tooth whitening kit for a while and was excited to be approved for the Crest 3D Whitestrips 2 Hours Express from the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.

    It took me a while to be able to use the product due to the 2 hr time frame that I needed to have the strips on my teeth. I finally had the opportunity while working from home one day and I found it very inconvenient to have to wait the full 2 hours. I did not notice any results between my before and after tooth colour. I also found that my bottom teeth were sensitive for 3 days following.

    The strips were easy to use, stuck to my teeth and were easy to peel off at the end of the 2 hours. The cost seems a little high up front, but you get a full years supply (use once every 3 months) so it is worth it.

    I will continue to use these until my years supply is up and will hopefully see a difference in the following applications.

    I've been whitening my teeth for years, and have tried both professional systems and all kinds of at home kits, so I have a good idea of which products work and which don't, but my teeth are harder to whiten than most so I am probably a bit more critical than others would be. My teeth are pretty white, I just like to use an at home kit every few months to clean them up-I drink a lot of coffee and red wine!!

    The first thing I noticed about the strips was that you couldn't put them on right after brushing, but I also didn't want to put them on over dirty teeth, so I'm not sure I waited the proper amount of time - they should be more clear on that in the instructions. Also, it was hard for me to find 2 hours where I'd be sitting at home and couldn't drink water. That was a big thing for me, going 2 hours without a sip of water seemed weird, but the fact that you only have to do it one night instead of every night for 2 weeks was a huge bonus.

    The upper strip stuck pretty well to my teeth but the lower one stayed loose. This could have been because I have a permenant retainer on the back of my lower teeth and it wouldn't stick to it. On the plus side, I didn't taste chemicals or feel like I was swallowing too much of it. Some of the whitening strips taste awful but I put up with them anyways, but these weren't bad. They made my teeth a tiny bit sensitive but not nearly as bad as some other brands have made them. I was worried it would burn my gums from being on for so long but it was fine.

    The end results weren't spectacular. They did seem to make my teeth look cleaner and a little whiter but nothing amazing. Again, Crest White Strips have worked amazing for some people I know, but I guess they just aren't for my teeth. The price is pretty decent for a years worth of product.

    I'd say if the regular Crest White Strips work well for you, go ahead and give this a try instead. 2 hours is a lot more convenient than wearing them daily for 2 weeks, where I usually end up skipping days because I'm too lazy to do it every night. Make sure to drink lots of water before you put them on so you don't get thirsty and waste the strips.

    I was very excited to try this product since I have no prior experience with teeth whitening, and, being an avid coffee drinker I am looking to get some shiny new chompers :)
    The product requires that you follow the instructions to a tee which I did. I did find the sizing of the strips a bit large for my mouth/gums so there was a bit of overhang.
    a plus was the quick turnaroudn time since I'm a mom with an active toddler so anything that is 'express' is just fine by me!
    After leaving the product on for about an hour, my gums/teeth did feel some irritation. This would be the only reason I would not reco this product, especially for anybody who has sensitive teeth or gums.
    I did notice that my teeth were whiter but not by much so I'm assuming continued usage would give me the results I am looking for. Overall - not great for the irritability factor but as far as results, yes they were there.

    I received Crest 3D White Whitestrips 2-hour Express through the product review club and I was quite excited to try them. After thousands of dollars & several years spent on braces, I try to work my smile for all its got. I like the fact that you don't have to wear these as often, but I wasn't impressed with the 2 hours. The normal 30 min you have to wear the regular whitestrips has always seemed like an eternity. But these were a bit more comfortable to wear than many other systems.

    After drooling for about 2 hours I took the strips off to find that they didn't make that much more of a difference than the regular whitestrips do with one application. I definitely notice a difference between before and after, but it's not big enough that it would make 2 hours of sitting with the strips on again worth it. I think I'll stick to the regular (3D Whitestrips Professional Effects is the brand I've used in the past). Also, I found that after wearing them for 2 whole hours, I experienced quite a bit more sensitivity than I ever have with whitestrips. It only lasted about half a day, maybe a full day, though. Even still, I think I'll continue using the regular 30 min treatments to achieve about the same results.

    I had the opportunity to try the 2hr Express Whitestrips out as part of the Product Review Club. It's been a while since I had used any tooth whitening strips. The last time that I had used this type of product was when Crest first came out with the strips that you had to wear every night for a week. Having to only wear this for 2 hours, once every 3 mos is a definitely improvement. Also, the 2-hour Express strips felt significantly less "slimy" in my mouth than the previous old style strips. It also doesn't have as bad an afte taste as the older styles. Nevertheless, there is still a bit of aftertaste, but nothing too unbearable. I also tried to see if I can actually drink water while the strips were in my mouth like Crest had stated. It was a bit awkward and my strips slid around a bit. I think you should definitely use this when you know that you don't need to be drinking anything for the next two hours.
    Overall, I "think" my teeth looked a bit whiter, but not noticeable enough for anyone to see. I even asked my family members if they think my smile looked whiter, but no one was able to say so definitely. I would have liked to be able to use this for another session in 3 mos before reviewing it to see if using it over a long space of time makes any difference.
    All in all, it's not a bad product, but I really don't think that it compares to the results that you would get from the dentist.
