Easy, healthy whitening strips
I shy away from most of the "heavy-duty" whitening strips/ gels because I prefer to use more natural products, so I was excited to try these whitening strips from Moon, which use hydrogen peroxide combined with a blend of health-promoting botanical ingredients. My teeth aren't badly stained, but I drink a lot of coffee and tea and they definitely aren't as white as they used to be! This package contains 56 strips, enough for 2 weeks of twice-daily use on top and bottom teeth. I'm about a week in, and seeing improvements already! Even more important, they're not causing any issues for my teeth, gums or mouth. I have sensitive gums, and experience some discomfort from certain brands of toothpaste, but these strips don't have any ill effects for me.<br /><br />The strips are individually wrapped, and easy to position on your teeth. Once you've got them where you want them, they'll take about 15 minutes to dissolve, leaving a pleasant minty flavor behind with no residue. They do turn a bit tacky while they work, so I only use them when I can get away with not talking for 15 minutes, usually right before bed and after I've brushed my teeth in the morning. I feel reassured knowing that all the ingredients are safe to ingest.<br /><br />My only complaint so far is that I wish the strips were a tiny bit longer - there are some stains on teeth they don't quite reach when I apply them front and center. Granted, I'm probably the only one who notices these, but I feel like they'll be more noticeable by contrast with my freshly whitened front teeth! It's a minor issue though, and I'd definitely use these again over other types of whitening products.<br /><br />I'll update this review with progress photos once I've finished the full 2 weeks!
