I received an entire kit of Crest 3D Whitestrips FREE from Influenster (thanks Influenster), unexpectedly might I add. Giving it a try and I have to say it's kind of a weird experience.
Basically, you peel the strip from its liner, put it on your teeth, lower strip first (don't ask me why this is important), then upper strip, wear for the time frame given and remove.
Now.... the time you wear it for depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Five minutes is basically if you're using it daily or your teeth just need a quick sparkle. You wear them for thirty minutes if you're trying to get some professional looking whitening. For two hours of wear, you get professional, baby fresh white teeth. That's not what it says, but that's what I interpret it to mean....
Anyway, haven't tried them long enough to know whether they work great, but I do have two minor complaints. I know most people don't see those back teeth, but if my teeth are going to be pearly white, I want them ALL to be pearly white. The strips do not reach all the way to the back so you end up with four-eight teeth (upper and lower) that get no whitening. The other thing is, they leave somewhat of a residue on your teeth. It doesn't last long but it's still annoying to have a cleaning product leave a residue on your teeth. I mean, it's your mouth. You feel it.... Other than that, I would say it's a decent product if you have the time to put them on, leave them and then take them off. I personally need some intense whitening and leaving them on for more than 5 minutes a day is just not going to happen...
To see more check out Crest as well as Influenster!
And remember....in the words of Crest, "If You're Not Whitening, You're Yellowing."
