Crest toothpastes commonly list fluoride-based actives such as sodium fluoride or sodium monofluorophosphate, while many Crest Whitestrips use hydrogen peroxide as the whitening agent.
Suggested ages vary by product. Examples on Crest packaging include recommendations such as 2 years and up, 6 years and up, 12 years and up, and 18 years and up.
Wear times vary by kit. Common application times shown on different Whitestrips are about 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes per day depending on the product.
Some Crest products display industry acceptance such as the ADA Seal of Acceptance or include statements that the product is accepted by the American Dental Association.
Certain kits include extras beyond strips, such as a whitening gel or rinse as part of a two‑step system and a wireless whitening light accessory in the light‑boost kits.
Minty flavors are commonly noted. Product descriptions and reviews mention mint or “radiant mint,” and reviewers often report a pleasant, minty or fresh taste.
