Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I’m looking for advice from those of you that have used the proper (American) crest teeth whitening strips and how I can buy them as I know UK stockists don’t sell the ones they do in America due to the hydrogen peroxide levels but I really want to try them out as they seem to have the best reviews and thought it’s worth a try before forking out dentist prices 😮

Hello! Sorry for taking ages to reply! I didn’t see a huge difference tbh, maybe I needed to use them for longer or maybe because they aren’t the US ones they don’t have the high enough percentage etc x

No I've used the proper US crest strips when I lived there and I noticed my teeth were brighter for about an hour then over the course of the day went back to normal. They never even touched the darker parts of my teeth around the gum line.

No whitening stuff I've ever used actually worked, I'm starting to think it's all lies perpetuated by people taken in by placebo effect/desperation to justify the cash they spent on it and canny product placement with "influencers" who really get their whitening done at the dentist.

I'm trying proper dentist whitening this week.

Yep I’d be inclined to agree!! I think the only thing that truly works is what they use at the dentists! Good luck with your treatment. It’s something I think I’ll look to do next year x

Hi, did you pay customs charge on delivery, when you ordered from US amazon?
