Where to Buy
 

Although reviewers note that Listerine Whitening Quick Dissolving Strips usually improve whiteness by only half a shade, they praise the product for its unmatched convenience. The strips dissolve after five to 10 minutes (though some testers note that it takes a bit longer), so there's nothing to remove. The Listerine Quick Dissolving Strips don't elicit as many complaints of tooth sensitivity as some of the other strips. If you prefer more dramatic results, experts recommend Crest 3D White Whitestrips Advanced Vivid (*Est. $40), which can lighten teeth up to three shades.

Listerine Whitening Quick Dissolving Strips are ranked highly in ConsumerReports.org, Total Beauty, Good Housekeeping and Prevention. Allure also listed it as one of its quick fixes in the 2007 Best of Beauty feature.
