Toothpastes]]> CREST ]]>appeared on the market thanks to the Procter & Gamble company, which in the 40s of the last century began studying various substances that reduce tooth decay. In 1950, the company formed a research group that created and tested a new fluoride toothpaste. Clinical trials gave amazing results! In adults and children, the occurrence of dental caries decreased by an average of 49%! In 1955, this paste, called CREST, was released into some test markets, and in January 1956 it successfully entered the US consumer market. By 1962, CREST became the best-selling toothpaste in America.
And in 1976, the American Chemical Society recognized fluoride paste CREST as one of the 100 greatest discoveries of the last 100 years. What a legendary past! How are things now?
CREST for adults and children
Many people associate the name CREST exclusively with teeth whitening products, however, this is far from the case. The range of products manufactured under the CREST brand is very wide. Moreover, CREST products are intended not only for adults, but also for children! Children's products include: toothpastes, brushes, mouthwash. As a rule, they all come out in bright packaging with popular cartoon characters. For example, three tubes of children's toothpaste with Sesame Street characters can be purchased on ]]>Amazon]]> for $12.79.
For adults, CREST products can be divided into three types:
- ]]>Products for sensitive teeth]]>
- ]]>Products for fresh breath]]>
- ]]>Teeth whitening products]]>
Briefly about the manufacturer
is a well-known corporation Procter&Gamble . After conducting its own research into the development of dental diseases, the company developed the first toothpaste of the new Crest brand, designed to solve the problems of dental caries.
For the first time, it went on sale in 1955, and in the 90s it was brought to Russia and caused a real stir among buyers.
Today, the series of pastes of this brand includes more than 20 items, the composition of which includes only active ingredients that have long proven their effectiveness in practice.
CREST for sensitive teeth
CREST strips and toothpastes have been developed especially for sensitive teeth. The strips are applied directly to sensitive teeth, creating protection. The effect of use lasts up to 1 month. Toothpastes from the ]]>SENSI-RELIEF]]> and ]]>PRO HEALTH]]> series also help reduce tooth sensitivity. You can buy CREST products on ]]>Amazon]]>, especially pay attention to the “Add-on Item” marking. This means that ]]>paste]]> comes at the specified price, as an accompanying product to your purchase of $25 and above.
Best whitening toothpaste: ranking 2021
We present the rating: Best whitening toothpaste 2021, compiled by the editor-in-chief of 24stoma.ru (a dentist with 19 years of experience). The rating is based on an analysis of the components of toothpastes, personal experience with use, publicly available data on the concentrations of active components and the abrasiveness coefficient (RDA) of each paste.
We have compiled 2 ratings separately. The first rating of whitening toothpastes is dedicated to pastes that work by chemically whitening tooth enamel (this group is the most effective, but the smallest in number). The second rating will be devoted to abrasive whitening toothpastes that work by mechanically removing contaminants from the surface of the enamel.
CREST for teeth whitening
And finally, we come to what most consumers know about CREST pastes. This is teeth whitening! The ]]>CREST 3D WHITE]]> series, whose face, by the way, is Shakira, offers a wide range of products for teeth whitening at home.
<
These include toothpastes, whitening strips and mouth rinses. The series includes several types of toothpastes, including those for sensitive teeth. Therefore, when choosing a whitening paste, be sure to read the description. You can also buy toothpaste on ]]>Amazon]]>. For example, two tubes per pack for only $6.97 (related product).
CREST strips occupy a special place among teeth whitening products. There are several types depending on the intensity of influence and duration of use: ]]>Professional Effects]]>, ]]>Advanced Vivid]]>, ]]>Vivid]]>, ]]>Gentle Routine]]>, ]]> 1 Hour Express]]>, ]]>Supreme Flexfit]]>.
When choosing whitening strips, you need to pay attention to the following points:
- tooth sensitivity
- natural teeth tone
- duration of use of strips to achieve results
This must be done so that home whitening with CREST strips is comfortable and does not cause unpleasant, painful sensations. For example, if you have sensitive teeth, it is better to choose strips]]>Gentle Routine]]>, the duration of use of which is designed for 28 days, and the whitening effect is 2-3 tones. You can buy these strips on ]]>Amazon]]> for about $30.
In Russia, these same strips are more expensive, like other CREST products:
In addition to strips and toothpastes from the CREST 3D WHITE series, you can also buy mouth rinses. A large bottle on Amazon costs about $12.

CREST toothpaste in 24 g packaging. A story about how I explored a product I had never tried before.
Dedicated to the people who were at the origins of the creation of the mysku resource and the curators of the mysku discounts project... “... He smelled the smell of your kebab, and you heard his money ringing...”
L. Soloviev.
The Tale of Kh. Nasreddin. To paraphrase, listen to my subjective feelings about the paste, and I will find out your opinions on this issue from the comments... You may want to buy the paste, there is also a possibility that I will want to immediately throw away my purchase)) Brief summary. In short, you can buy, but... don’t make an idol for yourself... For those who want to know exclusively about the properties of the product, feel free to scroll down the text and read the section “About pasta”. The most important thing awaits you there.
For those who want to experience all 40 shades of gray, start with part 1...
N.B.
Traffic. I apologize to the users of the resource for such an obviously drawn-out narrative, but since I don’t intend to review toothpastes in the future, I wanted to present my vision of the problem as fully as possible this very first and last time.
So be patient. Not at the dentist's appointment... Part 1. General background for the purchase.
Satirical verbiage. Honestly, I'm really surprised that there don't seem to be any reviews for this product here yet. I am sure that many gentlemen readers and writers have already bought this toothpaste and tried it on themselves or their loved ones. You could also share your impressions. Following simple everyday logic, I should not have made this purchase, because the USA announced personal retaliatory counter-sanctions. In response to their various moratoriums and unfriendly sanctions policies in recent years. And not to individual sectors of their economy, but immediately, radically, in one fell swoop, vetoed the purchase of all their products. Well, or if someone doesn’t like this way of putting the question, consider that I have imposed a schema on myself personally. It’s strange, but the Ukrainian-assembled Zanussi SMA was seriously considered for purchase a month ago, although the model failed in some other parameters. But it’s Ukraine, neighbors, almost family people, no matter how some gentlemen now disavow this kinship. No matter how much the West wants, we, sensible people, cannot be pitted against each other and drawn into fratricidal civil strife. Genetically, at the subcortical level, I cannot wish trouble on my closest neighbors. On the contrary, I wish you peace and prosperity. I hope they wish the same for me. But the USA is a completely different matter. With this transatlantic “partner,” as far as I remember, we always had some kind of mutual hostility. Dislike, mutual antipathy at first sight. This happens in life and between people, and not rarely. Well, something like that, but still, simple human curiosity triumphed over false patriotism. Although it’s difficult to classify me as a true patriot, because I haven’t used either Pearl or Splat for 100 years. To be fair, I will also note that I don’t even remember when in my life I bought something from the US. And the point is not only that such products are simply not available for sale in our country by definition as a class, but even being ordered directly from the wild west and through the pernicious ebay ebay or non-kosher Amazon (we are waiting for the results of the unification of Yandex with Sberbank), It was actually produced in China, or at best in Mexico. Maybe it doesn’t exist at all, this overseas Mordor? Like drummers or some other evil spirit from a children's horror story. The Matrix simply exists. That's all. There is a country, but there are no goods from it, it’s somehow strange. Although I’m probably lying. Green paper “theirs”, cut up, it was a troubled time, I was mistaken, I bought MS Windows, IBM model M, all sorts of interesting cinematic products, again. This means that the country still produces something and exists somewhere. She is not a phantom, not a product of imagination, unfortunately. There are not only on the globe, but also in distant overseas reality. Confirmation of this depressing fact was found in this toothpaste... Well, in general, I decided to buy this toothpaste, made in the USA, but passing through PRC. Well, I like to try and taste different toothpastes, what can I do? There is no shortage of them in local stores.
Traditional suppliers of these products to the shelves - Russia, India, Turkey, China - are generously diluted with exotic samples from Japan, Thailand, and South Korea.
I don’t see Pomorin and Mary from my brothers, but everything else is just a mess. Like shoe polish at a shoe polish factory. Not like in '91. If you had the desire and pennies... To choose, at least spin a roulette wheel or use a random number generator. If you approach the matter in an unusual way and with imagination, you can find quite exclusive offers.
By the way, at the same JD some pastes are 2 times more expensive than locally.
Of all this variety, I like Japanese and Korean pastes the most; I haven’t bought traditional Colgate for a long time; it has been sent into well-deserved retirement. Although today we are not talking about them, I can’t help but brag about my catch in its habitat. I hope that the samurai’s code of honor does not yet allow our Far Eastern neighbors to create such outright hackwork as in Poland or nearby Dzerzhinsk. Well, if all this stuff disappears from offline, Rakuten will apparently have to master rakuten. I'm already used to their pastes, SMS, gels and shampoos. My, far from complete, collection of trophies
Well, I can’t help but mention Lg, so adored by many Muskovites and which has filled the shelves in the last year))
I just can’t decide to put products from original Chinese manufacturers in my mouth, although there is no need to order and wait for them.
The pinnacle, the apotheosis of my passion for new pastes was the purchase in the nearest supermarket of an as yet untested original product from sunny Thailand)
I’m a little afraid, unusually a little, but I’ll gather my courage and definitely try it. They say it cleans very well, and it foams well. In short... “and their name is Legion...” In general, everything is fine; The bad thing is that Crest, this bourgeois creation I suddenly coveted, is not available for free sale here, and I’ve read very chic reviews of it. Well, it caught fire. Just some kind of mania, obsessive desire, almost paranoia. No, of course, it is available on Ebay, on Ali, at resellers, after all, but the prices there are absolutely outrageous. Sound rationalism was categorically against such an acquisition. Toothpaste is almost the price of cocaine)). Well, what to do, how to get it and use it for the benefit of an ordinary Muscovite, limited by the limit on online purchases in the monthly family budget)) This is where this service mentioned at the beginning helped me.
Well, and JD of course. Well, it’s a case, of course, that there was enough money on the card)). Don't misunderstand. I don't expect incredible miracles from toothpastes. New teeth (fangs, tusks) will not grow
, fillings will not be replaced by living tissues; for this, stem cells are probably needed, at a minimum. Caries, tartar, and periodontal disease will also not retreat or capitulate on their own. Whatever paste you buy and use. The ending for all teeth is approximately the same.
I focus exclusively on the taste sensations of the toothpastes, strictly observing the prescribed frequency, time and technique of brushing my teeth. Coupled with a good dentist and not quite old age, this allows you to stay afloat. Bye. Well, as an ambush regiment, I have in my stash all sorts of flosses, irrigators, rinses... There is also no need to discuss the economic feasibility of the order.
You yourself understand where rationalism is here.
But... I want Larisa Ivanovna Crest. Want. And that's it. So, where the hell is Crest itself, you ask? And you'll be right. Yes, yes, now...
Part 2. About Crest paste.
Well, now that we have looked at the general background against which the purchase was made, it’s time to move on to the hero of the review... The usual delivery time for the lot is 40 days.
The paste was sold at a promotional price, but subject to a one-time purchase of 4 tubes at once. Those. It turns out to be a small wholesale purchase.
Each Lilliputian tube contains 24 g of a miracle cure.
Although such a small format is convenient in some cases (when traveling).
In any case, 24 g. for 4 = 96 g. At a price of 178 rubles, i.e. for the price of a good paste of similar weight offline, I received the coveted drug after a relatively short wait. Other options for receiving goods promised higher
costs market
There were some concerns when ordering. Maybe it's counterfeit, maybe the drug is expired, maybe the packaging is damaged or wrinkled? Maybe marriage? Maybe speculation on free samples? Maybe there is something wrong with the background radiation of the paste? What is the reason for such a fierce and reckless discount? I don’t believe in human selflessness, let alone Asian selflessness. Although JD hasn't disappointed me yet. And in this case, everything seemed to work out well (if you don’t take into account the bruising of the boxes), although I find it difficult to test for the originality of the paste, so I need an expert assessment of the purchased paste.
I appeal to the audience for help, who has experience purchasing this paste offline, please evaluate the appearance of the purchase for the originality of the content. So as not to question my childhood dreams of chewing gum, Montana watches, Lewis jeans and Marlboro cigarettes. The seller (if you believe his assurances) clearly positions the paste as a product “imported from the USA.” I am somewhat confused by the abundance of hieroglyphs on the product packaging, and the inscriptions on US products are somewhat different
I will note one more detail. Prices for goods from the seller are as highly volatile as the exchange rate on the currency exchange or the mood of the fair half of humanity. But. In my memory, they have never gone beyond the range of 40-50 rubles, but only if you purchase at least 4 pieces at a time.
About the composition
. To be honest, I didn’t read it, didn’t analyze it. I think that there are no gold-diamonds, no arsenic-cyanide, no natural components in it. Considering what is included in food products on supermarket shelves, contained in water and air, it is simply pointless to pay attention to this. So those who are afraid of the harmful effects of titanium oxide on life expectancy are wasting their time reading these lines. Ca and F would not hurt, of course, because basically all pastes seem to claim them in their composition. And this one is no exception, so I can’t help but draw the readers’ attention to the inscriptions Fluoride, Vibrant Peppermint. What they mean is clear to everyone. But, for more complete and comprehensive information about the product, I will give the composition of the paste; those who wish can study it and draw conclusions on their own. I assume that those who wanted to see similar inscriptions on the tube
will be somewhat disappointed. Of course, the question of composition is one of the most important, key points in the matter of any product. Well, so that the competence-based approach to the object under review does not wither.
Requirements for pastes are set out in 2 regulatory documents. They, as well as an interesting, in my opinion, abstract on the history of pastes can be found here. Standards Whether they are fundamentally different from ours or the same Japanese or Korean pastes can be assessed from these photographs
This is fine. I will have time to use it this year. Considering the amount of paste - absolutely. I will never forget my personal experience in 1992, when toothpaste (humanitarian aid, apparently) from Italy, which I bought, had a production date on the tube - 1982. It was a bit harsh and dry, but at that time there were no special alternatives, there was no choice had to. What surprised me was that the Cross trademark is under the protectorate of P&G. Somehow I’m not very fond of their Head and Shoulders, especially the local bottling... I haven’t used it for a long time, in general. Sulsena is much more effective in combating snow on hair. The cap is screwed onto the tube.
In my opinion, this is the most archaic type of lid. I’m already used to making Asian-style pastes, where the cap is simply removed and put on; it would be more convenient for me this time too. But even as it is, it’s not a problem. Although the ideal option looks like this
True, Asians also have disadvantages: who can understand “their” pseudographic writing, and the protective foil of their pastes is almost always absent as a class - it is not clear whether someone has already started the tube or not. Here the foil is in place, I like it, because I, Hayley Likley, will be the first consumer of the tube. Our pastes are fine with this
Next, let's move on to the most thankless part of the description, because
organoleptics
are difficult to convey in words, and each of us, fortunately, has an individual worldview.
What is good for one is not good for another. Nevertheless…. Color
Translucent colorless preparation. Reminds me of thick silicone with glitter.
Consistency.
Regular, like all pastas. Although it seemed more liquid to me. It is easily and evenly applied with a sort of traditional “sausage” to the bristles of the brush. But the “sausage” spreads out horizontally.
Homogeneity
- a paste of uniform consistency, with foreign inclusions such as glitter, more like a gel than a paste. Nothing squeaks on the teeth. After reading customer reviews on the product page, I caught cognitive dissonance. Some have grains or granules in the product, others do not. I dare to assure potential buyers - there is some glitter, they dissolve during the cleaning process.
They are not felt on the teeth.
I don’t understand what they are needed for, either an abrasive or they add a menthol taste to the paste. Foaminess
– foams well. There is a lot of foam, but we also saw more. It's up to anyone to like it. Judge for yourself…
The smell
is pleasant, slightly minty-menthol.
If you sniff... I was reminded of the smell of a pharmacy, or rather the smell of the “Zvezdochka” balm. The aroma is chemical and chemical, but overall pleasant to the nose. The juice from the tetra pack also smells like orange, but it’s not a fact that it contains it. Aftertaste
– it seems to me that there is none, at least not a lasting one.
After 10 - 20 minutes. you forget about pasta and get on with current affairs. Naturally, after a snack, and even more so in the evening, there is no trace of the feeling of freshness left. But this is normal: at a minimum, you should brush your teeth 2 times a day - after breakfast and after dinner. About the sensation of a certain film on the lips and on the oral mucosa. After I stopped using pastes from the supermarket (apparently chlorhexidine or another antimicrobial agent in the composition), I have long forgotten these sensations. This feeling did not arise when using this paste either. Let's count this as a plus for her. The taste
is pleasant, refreshing, not sweetish, not salty. Mint, more like it. Or menthol. Tart. If you want a real thrill that will make your eyes pop out of your head, I can recommend trying this paste, although I myself don’t like and don’t use Indian brands of pastes.
And this one, when evaluating the taste, you can put it in a row with a dozen other pastes and not find any differences.
Whitening effect
. I don’t know, I usually avoid buying toothpastes with a whitening effect. It’s an abrasive (or it’s pure chemicals), so why bother with the enamel additionally? The annual Air Flow is enough for it. People with increased sensitivity of the enamel, with a wedge-shaped defect, will definitely not benefit. For the same reasons, I’m not going to use this paste all the time. A Hollywood smile is not the most important advantage of a person from Muskovka, who is always behind the scenes, in the shadow of his view, for sure. Moreover, it seems to me that teeth of a natural, non-snow-white shade are healthier.
Of course, you can expect such a wow effect, but at what cost?
If you want your teeth to have a more natural color, don’t drink tea, coffee, or smoke, of course. Well, or wait for your next and next more successful reincarnation.
But in order to avoid criticism from critics)) I will give a photograph of the color of teeth enamel against the background of a sheet of paper today. In a month I will add a similar photo after using this paste. Wait. And you will find it. Although I foresee no significant differences... I will leave the question of the justification of using this paste in citizens under the age of 7 years open. Age restrictions are indicated on the paste tube and packaging. The manufacturer clearly and unambiguously states that it can be used for children over 2 years of age, but for children under 2 years of age, please check with your dentist. I am also inclined to believe that for children it is still better to use children’s toothpastes from well-known brands, which differ in composition and design from their analogues for an adult audience. Fortunately, there are plenty of them in stores. Yes, and in pharmacies too. Before doing this, familiarize yourself with their composition, and even better, resolve this issue with your personal dentist.
Let's sum up the overseas curiosity, the scarlet flower...
Well, the time has come to draw a line in the legend of the miraculous Cross. Since I have already sailed on a schooner with the promising name “item 18” and did not like it, I will probably be an adherent and preacher of the JD religion, especially since the quality and price of their goods so far pleases me. It’s a pity, but they don’t pay me extra for broadcasting about their products. True, JD’s approach to the possibility of issuing ratings on behalf of customers after the time allotted for product reviews has expired touches and causes some bewilderment. A kind of know-how.
Well, Hermes is their judge. Alternatives - the same joom, for example - generally disappoint with the meagerness of their bins.
So, for a modest sum, I closed the gestalt and satisfied my curiosity. By purchasing the goods through an intermediary from China, I did not violate the personal embargo against American goods. In principle, the purchase and anticipation of something new from it met my expectations, there is novelty. Especially, it’s excruciatingly pleasant to wait for the treasured product. You sit there, wait, anticipate and hope, and the pasta is there moving towards you somewhere along the way. Buying this paste at full price is not respecting yourself and your wallet. It seems so to me. And so, for the money spent on the lot - pasta and pasta. Not bad. Perhaps not the most outstanding. Not miraculous for sure. Not the first and not the last. Those interested can purchase and independently evaluate its quality. I checked and it seems like there are no mines. If you still don’t have the desire to buy it, that’s also not a problem. By and large, I repeat, pasta and pasta, why try it...
Afterword.
I liked the pasta. Like a number of others. Of the 4 family members who tried it, 3 rated it as “good”, and one was absolutely delighted. He demands that he order more and that no one but him use it. Already ordered the next batch. On my own behalf, I’ll probably end with the same thing I started with: I wouldn’t use the slogan “less is more” in relation to this paste. Rather, “no worse, no better” compared to pastes from the supermarket. Before buying pasta, take a walk around the area, look at Ozone - perhaps an equally worthy alternative is waiting for you nearby.
Be careful, you will probably find hidden advertising in the text. Or anti-advertising. But I dare to assure you, gentlemen, readers, this is not so... And it was not in my thoughts. Any similarities are coincidental... The text contains exclusively the author’s personal point of view on the subject of discussion. Since I have to work during the day to buy the next trinkets, I will answer all questions about pasta, but over time, but within 24 hours
Congratulations to all Russians on the start of the long-awaited global event, the 2018 World Cup.
Health to everyone and especially your teeth and greetings from Nino
Important components of whitening toothpastes -
Whitening toothpaste (in addition to abrasive-polishing components and/or carbamide peroxide) may contain additional beneficial components that will increase its effectiveness. Some of these components help remove existing pigmentations, while others will prevent the deposition of pigments and plaque on the teeth (24stoma.ru).
- The enzymes Bromelain and Papain are proteolytic enzymes that help loosen the already formed tightly attached microbial plaque, which certainly contributes to its removal by the abrasive components of toothpastes. This happens due to the fact that enzymes destroy the protein matrix of dental plaque (i.e., intercellular structures). Bromelain is obtained from pineapple, and papain is obtained from papaya.
- Pyrophosphates and Polydon - these components are inhibitors of the crystallization of calcium phosphate (this is a mineral component of tartar). Thus, they prevent the formation of tartar, but do not affect existing tartar. By the way, citrates have a similar effect to pyrophosphates - these are salts of citric acid, which can also sometimes be found in toothpastes (usually sodium citrate is used for this).
- Polyphosphates - polyphosphates include, for example, Sodium Hexametaphosphate and Trisodium Phosphate. These are excellent components that prevent pigments and plaque from sticking to the teeth and, accordingly, they help prevent the formation of tartar (but they do not affect existing plaque). Polyphosphates are found in some whitening toothpastes “President”, “Lacalut”, as well as in the “Blend-a-med Pro-EXPERT” series of toothpastes.
- Hydroxyapatite – the deposition of a thin layer of hydroxyapatite particles on the teeth will prevent bacteria from attaching to the tooth enamel, and hence the formation of plaque.
Pasta Crest Kids
It is important to pay attention to the issue of the children's version of this remedy. Crest offers its products for babies as young as two years old, ensuring that young consumers have a healthy oral cavity. The use of this remedy allows you to prevent numerous diseases from an early age.
Crest Kids has a fundamental difference from all other products of this brand. This paste contains a smaller amount of a substance that helps whiten teeth, maintain fresh breath and protect against caries. The paste is also very attractive to children with its fruity taste.
