Crest Whitening Rinse By Kurenai By Kurenai on Sep 23, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Many of us hate rinsing with Listerine because it tastes bad. Many of us also brush frequently and often because we want pearly white teeth. This is where Crest came in and decided to create a rinse that does the job of Listerine and whitens teeth.

It's alcohol free and works quite well overall. I noticed a difference in tooth shade when I started using this rinse each time after brushing my teeth twice daily. It's pretty simple, just swoosh the rinse around in your mouth for sixty seconds.

The only downside of this is well.. the taste! It's not better than Listerine at all. The taste is kind of indescribable, but overall not that great. Often those sixty seconds feel like a half hour and when you're done the rinse becomes blotchy and kind of disguisting to spit out.

This stuff does work, but beware of the taste!
