Customer Reviews of Crest Night Effects Dental Whitening System (Wintergreen)
Customer Review: Not working for me
Summary: 2 Stars
I've been using it for 10 days and I have yet to see any impressive results. I guess this works faster than a whitening toothpaste (10 days versus 2 months or so), but my teeth haven't changed much at all (more of a placebo effect).
It really isn't that hard to apply--just like the instructions say, dry your teeth thoroughly, paint on one thin coat, let dry for half a minute or so, and don't eat.
The side benefits were that it leaves the surface of your teeth feeling very smooth and prevents you from caving in to late night snacking.
Customer Review: A far better alternative is available.
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a horrible product. The problem with this product is that the solution comes in little foil packs. When you open the packs, the goo tends to harden quickly. You are told to apply it with little brushes that come in the package, but the goo won't adhere to the brushes to allow you to apply the stuff with the brushes. The only way I was able to apply the stuff was by mashing the gunky stuff against my teeth with my fingers. The result was a bunch of splotches, rather than an even application.
A much better alternative is the dissolving whitening strips manufactured and distributed by CVS Pharmacy, Inc. These strips are firm and therefore don't stick onto themselves, like the Crest version of the whitening strips do. The CVS product adheres to your teeth far better; AND they dissolve completely in about 5-7 minutes, leaving no messy residue or plastic film to have to discard. On size strip (larger than Crest's) fits both upper and lower teeth. The active ingredients are the same as Crest, but the cost is about half the cost of Crest. Superior to Crest Night Effects in every way.
Customer Review: Buyer Beware!
Summary: 1 Stars
The pictures on the box make it seem so easy to use - but buyer beware! This product would not stick to my teeth regardless of how thoroughly I dried my teeth beforehand! The product dried immediatly after dispensing it from the tube, not even giving me enough time to brush it on a single tooth before it was a dried icky blob of goo that wouldn't stick to anything but the brush and my fingers and lips! I wasted 3 out of 14 packets just trying to get one successful application with no luck. Three nights and 7 packs later, I still have had no successful applications. When I did try to smear the dried up blobs on my teeth with my fingers out of desperation and went to bed, I woke up with lumps of this gross stuff floating in my mouth! No telling how much I had swallowed in my sleep! Ick! It may have wonderful whitening effects if you could somehow find a way to glue or tape it to your teeth!
