I'd have to try the Lumineux strips for longer - i.e., finish the entire box without using any other products intermittently - to see if they work as well as products I used in the past. Still, I think they're worth a shot for people with sensitive teeth and gums. The study was, of course, funded in part by Lumineux, so keep that in mind.
BURST WHITENING STRIPS TRIAL
I tested these for three consecutive days, so I can't speak to the long-term efficacy compared with other brands, but Lumineux did conduct a clinical trial that concluded Crest 3D Whitestrips were no more effective than Lumineux natural whitening strips. The fit and coverage were great, although they did slip around a bit. Lumineux products don't include hydrogen peroxide and instead use a combination of dead sea salt, essential oils, coconut oil and aloe vera.ĭespite the natural combo of ingredients, Lumineux whitening strips didn't give off "trying too hard to be healthy" vibes like some other natural products I've tested (see my guide to whitening toothpastes for more on that). Of all the whitening strips I tested, these were the only ones that didn't leave little white spots on my gums.Īfter some research, I discovered that those little white spots are chemical burns from the ingredients in whitening products - usually hydrogen peroxide. But one week? I can definitely manage that.Īnyone who has sensitive teeth should check out Lumineux. I've almost never successfully made it through a 14-day or 30-day pack of whitening strips. One other big reason I loved these Rembrandt whitening strips: You wear them twice a day for seven days, rather than once a day for two weeks or once a day for a month. The hydrogen peroxide gel on the strips also seems to be thicker than that of other brands and that helps with the stickiness, too. Rembrandt's whitening strips are also much thicker than those of most other brands, which I think prevents them from sliding around while you're wearing them.
The strips also have little divots that prevent any air bubbles or uneven coverage. They stretched far past my canines on both top and bottom, and the strip fully folded over to cover the backs of my teeth. The Rembrandt website describes the whitening strips as having "maximum coverage to whiten the front and back of teeth" and that's no lie: The width of these whitening strips is impressive, as is the length. (Keep reading for my personal favorite and the best option for sensitive teeth). But I think these strips are going to prove the best for most people, thus their spot at the top. As a disclaimer, these strips are not my personal favorite because I have super sensitive teeth. I tested a fair amount of home tooth-whitening strips and Rembrandt whitening strips struck me as the best for a number of reasons.
