Having a pack of Crest Whitestrips in one’s bathroom has become as essential as keeping toothpaste in there. And today, if you’re fast enough, the iconic teeth whitening strips (in the special box, with the two free extra treatments inside) quietly dropped back to the 35% off Black Friday discount at Amazon. The 20-count box without the freebies is on sale at Walmart and it’s full price at Target! Right after Cyber Week, the price shot right back up, so when we say time is of the essence on strips one reviewer dubbed “magic in a box,” we really mean it.
Here’s how the teeth whitening “magic” actually works.
The Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects Plus teeth whitening strip kit contains 20 teeth whitening treatments each with one upper and one lower whitening strip (totaling 40 strips). At Amazon, thatbox comes with two bonus one-hour express whitening treatments (totaling four strips). That’s 44 strips for 24 daily applications that will leave your teeth more sparkling for the next full year and beyond. All you need to do is use them once a day for 30 minutes. That said, some reviewers reported whitening results even when they didn’t uphold this daily routine. “The last 7 I did it on days on and off, and I also forgot to stay consistent at times, but still got great results,” shopper Pamela shared after noting impressive whitening results for her coffee and smoking stains.
People love that these are comfortable enough to wear to talk and drink water. However, if you’re worried about any discomfort or sensitivity that might come with strips, here’s how to address it:
While several folks report minimal sensitivity or none at all, those who did experience sensitivity shared some convenient and clever ways to get around it. Several reported skipping a day or two, as Pamela stated. Meanwhile, “my boyfriend brushes with [Sensodyne] about an hour before to help protect him from the sensitivity,” another reviewer, MaryAnne, dished. ”[He] still [gets] the whitening benefits without the discomfort of these awesome sauce strips…”
Head on over to Amazon to take advantage of this spectacular deal and pile your bathroom cabinets sky-high with Whitestrips as far as the eye can see. Future you will thank you.
Read on for promising reviews of how effective and fast-acting these Crest 3D Whitestrips are:
“I wish I did a before and after picture but didn’t. These work very well. I only had sensitivity after the first use after that no issues. I saw really good results after the 4 th use but I’m going to continue to use this for another week or two and then I will use them again as needed” — Michele A
“They work! My teeth were stained because I smoke and drink coffee every day. I got multiple compliments on my white teeth for the first time in my life before I even finished the whole treatment! I usually have sensitive teeth and they didn’t make it too bad. If I felt some sensitivity, I just skipped a day or two and continued the treatment. The last 7 I did it on days on and off, and I also forgot to stay consistent at times, but still got great results.” — Pamela
“I am so pleased I got the strips. Within just 3 uses along with the Crest 4 % peroxide toothpaste I already use daily and it has lifted the heavy (I didn’t realize how much until the strips started working) tea stains on my teeth. I so wish I could share pictures. For those of you who want to do this but are afraid of sensitivity? My boyfriend brushes with Sennoside about an hour before to help protect him from the sensitivity and still get the whitening benefits without discomfort of these awesome sauce strips..” — MaryAnne
“I had to take a special medicine many years ago. It turned my teeth very yellow almost brown. Smoking on top of it didn’t help. My Dentist told me if I keep brushing it will eventually come back to my natural color. It never happened. When I was talking to my neighbor one day, his little girl ask my why my teeth were so yellow. (kids are so honest) So I finally decided it was time to try something. I couldn’t believe my eyes. In just a couple days I could see a difference. I used half the box, 10 treatments I think, and my teeth look normal. They’re not sparkling white, but after just 10 treatments I can smile with confidence.” — Hitthespot
