What they flagged

  • Can cause swelling or lumps on chin and throat

What the gurus are saying

One-hour wear time delivers visible whitening right away, which dermatologist Doctor Youn praises as a convenient alternative to longer treatments. However, James Welsh experienced an adverse reaction (a small lump near his chin and throat) within 48 hours of first use. That means anyone with sensitive skin or a history of reactions to whitening products may want to patch-test or consult a dentist before committing to a full course.

"48 hours after using his first Crest Whitening Strip, he noticed a little lump, kind of like here, kind of where his chin meets the throat."

"They've come out with Express whitening where it's basically a white strip that is extra strong and you wear it for literally just an hour and you can see results immediately afterwards. They use hydrogen peroxide which is very commonly used for whitening of the teeth and it definitely works. They even have a complete system that you can buy that combines the express white with the regular whitening and LED whitening, which is a type of light therapy for optimal results."
