You’ve definitely seen them on TikTok and Instagram — those shiny Crest Whitestrips that promise an instant white smile.
Everyone in the U.S. seems to use them, so naturally you’re thinking: why can’t I buy them here?!
🚫 They’re banned in Europe (and for a reason)
Crest Whitestrips use hydrogen peroxide — yep, the same stuff used to bleach hair.
In small amounts, it’s fine for lifting stains off your teeth.
But Crest products often contain 10–14% peroxide — which is way over the European safety limit.
In the EU, the rules are:
- Dentists can use up to 6% peroxide
- Home-use products can have max 0.1%
Anything higher is considered too harsh.
It can irritate your gums, make your teeth super sensitive, or even damage enamel over time. 😬
So yeah… bye bye Crest. 👋
The EU says: health > speed
Europe chooses safety over speed.
A white smile is great — but not if your teeth hurt every time you sip coffee.
(Ew. No thanks.)
