Some of the best user reviews we found for Crest Whitestrips Premium are at Drugstore.com and Amazon.com. Good Housekeeping also evaluates the strips, along with other popular whitening products.
According to reviews, Crest Whitestrips Premium are convenient to use, and most say they do a pretty good job of whitening. Testers say that while the Whitestrips don't whiten teeth as dramatically as professional whitening treatments (which start at $300), they do lighten teeth up to three shades or more, on average, and that treatment can be repeated for better results. User reviews at Amazon.com and Drugstore.com point out that the strips are easy to use but most don't recommend going about regular activities with them on. That's because many consumers experience excessive drooling when using the strips, something that can occasionally cause them to slip out of place. Crest Whitestrips Premium contain 10 percent hydrogen peroxide.
