USERS SAID
"I have tried so many whitening toothpastes, not getting the results I wanted. This is THE BEST I have ever tried! It tastes amazing, and I like the gritty, scrubby feel—I think it works the best. My teeth were not sensitive to the whitening gel, even though I have had sensitivity issues with whitening products in the past. This will be the only toothpaste I use from now on. Thank you, Crest!"

The strips truly are no-slip, and they can eliminate up to 14 years of stains in just 20 treatments.

USERS SAID
"These are such an improvement! The new strips remove easily from the plastic they are on, and they are REALLY adhesive! These will not budge! Since I purchased them, I have only used them about four times, and I can already notice a difference. Other people have noticed too. I think these are well worth the money and work as well as a professional treatment."
