Every Cyber Week, Amazon discounts hundreds of thousands of products, but there's one discount in particular we wait for: the Crest White Strips deal that sees the miracle-working teeth whiteners marked down to a mere $35. You wouldn't host a Thanksgiving meal without serving mashed potatoes, and Bezos and company wouldn't host an Amazon Cyber Week sale without discounting these ever-popular teeth-whitening strips. In fact, after seeing how much GQ Recommends readers (that's you) loved this smile-brightening hack last year, we wouldn't be entirely surprised if it becomes the best-selling product of Cyber Monday 2023, too.
On a day full of discounted designer bags, rare Patagonia sales, and noise-cancelling headphones, why are we getting out of bed for a Crest White Strips deal? Well, suffice to say that we've tested a lot of coffee makers on your behalf this year. Also, because these strips are the go-to solution for getting a whiter smile at home—without hauling ass to the dentist or making a huge mess in your bathroom. This kit originally went on sale for Black Friday, with prices dropping down to just $30. That sale has ended, but another version of the product with 24 white strips is now on sale for Cyber Monday.
For those of us who used to smoke, drink a totally normal and not at all excessive amount of java, or just want to put our best teeth forward from now on, white strips are the DIY alternative to overpriced medspa and dental treatments. Plus, unlike some teeth-whitening products you may have seen on TikTok, the Crest 3D White Strips don't require using any weird purple goop, messy trays, or LED lights to brighten your smile.
Crest's popular whitening strips are coated with hydrogen peroxide; simply slap them on your teeth and wait. Each kit comes with 24 strips, which will be enough to visibly whiten those not-so-pearly whites. The brand promises that its strips will remove years of stains with each use, and that the results last for more than a year—and in our experience, people's response to seeing your new white teeth is unadulterated glee. That feeling of validation is well worth $50, and it feels even better at mere $35.
