The set gives you five pens. Amazon
About the size of a tube of mascara, these compact pens are easy to pack and can be used virtually anywhere, letting you directly apply the formula wherever you need it. Whether you're targeting a particular stain or area or just want your whole mouth brighter, simply twist the bottom, apply the whitening gel to clean, dry teeth, let it hang for 10-30 minutes, rinse, then follow with the remineralizing pens.
The whitening pens are made with carbamide peroxide , a government-studied compound found to potentially cause less tooth sensitivity than other whitening treatments. While the remineralizing pens contain fluoride and other government-studied fortifying ingredients, hydroxyapatite and xylitol, to help strengthen your enamel, reduce sensitivity and generally repair any damage caused from whitening. The brand even says the kit is designed to help prevent cavities.
"The gel applies smoothly, and the pen design makes it easy to target specific areas without making a mess," Josh wrote. "It feels gentle on teeth and gums compared to some other whitening products." "It's easy to use, doesn't cause much sensitivity, and leaves my teeth looking brighter after just a few days," Gretter wrote. "The pen design is also super convenient for home use or travel."
Reviewers say this kit is "simple enough to keep in my routine" — meaning they actually keep using it.
The key to any whitening kit is consistency, i.e., you need a product that you'll actually keep using. Fans love the pen-style brush head for providing an even application that's not goopy or heavy on their teeth. Plus, they say the quick results keep them encouraged to keep applying it.
"I drink coffee almost every day, so I wanted something easy for front-tooth touch ups," shopper Andrew wrote, calling the kit "good for coffee stains." "After using it consistently, my teeth looked cleaner and a bit brighter."
Rowland purchased the kit for their mother "because she wanted something easy to use without scheduling appointments." "She likes that it fits into her routine without taking much time," they wrote. "It's a practical and low-maintenance option for at-home whitening."
And it brings results — fast.
Sure, uou want your teeth-whitening kit to be gentle and easy to use. Of course, it needs to whiten teeth well, and ideally quickly , too. Rest assured, users say these pens deliver the results they want, often sooner than they planned.
"I've been using this product for a few days now, and I've really noticed a change — my teeth are whiter," one wrote. "I haven't even finished it yet, and it's definitely working for me. 🤩🤩🤩"
"I noticed my teeth were whiter after just a few uses, without causing any sensitivity," another wrote. "Plus, the remineralizing pen leaves teeth feeling smooth and protected. Excellent quality and visible results. I highly recommend it!"

Lumineux teeth whitening strips
These Lumineux whitening strips were previously recommended to HuffPost by Dr. Bronwyn Hagan , a New York-based dentist, for people with sensitive teeth. They're non-toxic and, unlike Crest 3D Whitestrips, peroxide-free. Instead, they use natural whitening ingredients like coconut oil and Dead Sea salt. The box comes with 21 treatments that work in much the same way as the Crest strips: Apply them for 30 minutes once a day for four days, and then once a week after that or as directed by your dentist.
21 treatments: $44.97 at Amazon

Heads up: Clip the on-page coupon for 15% off.
Promising review:"I have used crest white strips forever and the ones with the UV light which are very expensive. These work better than anything I've ever used before and only takes 10 minutes which is fantastic! There is no weird flavor, no sensitivity at all and I have sensitive teeth. My teeth have never been so white and I have only used it three times. Also they give you three syringes and these are going to last me for a very long time. I'd say each syringe will last one week and I don't even think I'm going to do it again except to maintain because my teeth are that white!!" — Morgan Montgomery

TheraBreath's whitening toothpaste that's worth its weight in gold
If you haven't heard about TheraBreath's widely beloved toothpastes, just know the line may put your dentist out of work (we're only sort of kidding). That line includes a whitening toothpaste , sold in a two-pack, which is peroxide-free and works to eliminate bad breath and whiten your teeth at the same time. According to the brand, you can see significant results in as little as one week with twice-daily brushing. The toothpaste is minty fresh and made in the USA. While we admit it's far pricier than a lot of toothpaste out there, this is one that seems to be more than worth the extra cost (and can potentially help you save on expensive whitening treatments, as one reviewer pointed out ).
The Real Deal: We use deal trackers and commerce experience to sift through "fake" hike-and-drop deals and other deceptive sales tactics. Products will usually be rated at least 4 stars with a minimum 15% discount. (And when there's an exception, we'll tell you why.)
