    I have tried many (some expensive!) and recently tried 1 Hour White Luster. I absolutly love this product!! I am a smoker and I like tea - needless to say, I need to use a whiter (and my dentist also recommened I use a whiter, being I have a futune invested in dental work). This by far is the best!! Plus it is reasonably priced. You can get refills, and get a rebate along with a coupon at their website [@] Hope this comment will help save some of you some $$ as for trying other products that don't work as well.

    I was excited about this product when I saw it. My first gripe with it is the tooth color guide. The strip has shades of light brown like you would see in foundation makeup. I don't know anyone's who's teeth are brown, shades of yellow and perhaps gray, but not brown, so I could not get anything close to a match with that guide.

    I drink a lot of coffee and smoke but it's taken many years for my teeth to actually start looking light yellowish (I think my recent addiction to coffee acclerated it actually, but I digress), so I wasn't expecting celebrity white teeth. And I took a before picture with my camera phone and my teeth happen to photograph pretty well (too bad I can't attach photos here to show you the before and after).

    Using the product: It was easy to use, no tooth or gum sensitivity until application 16 (it recommends you do 20 applications in a row). The sensitivity was only on one tooth.

    (1) Pre-rinse - didn't have a taste which was good.
    (2) I never liked whitening strips because I seem to salivate even more when they're in my mouth (getting all gooey as I'm sure most of you can contest to), so applying this thin gel really didn't feel like anything was going on my teeth (which in turn makes me feel as though there's nothing there to actually work)
    (3) Using the light: I love that it is on a timer - no over or under-using it (makes me wonder how the professional dentist-office procedures work - do they only apply the light for two-minute intervals?). I pretty much wrapped my mouth around the whole thing so there was no chance of the light not hitting all gel-covered teeth.

    (side note: when I was up to application #8, I noticed the instruction pamphlet said you will see a difference of one shade lighter by application 10 but you should use 20 applications. That wasn't encouraging - it translated to "your teeth will only get two shades lighter at application 20" - in my opinion).

    After X-amount of applications, I went back to the mirror I was using by my front door where I had the brightest light and didn't notice any difference, but I was a trooper and kept going.

    After all was said and done, I took my "after" picture, e-mailed it to myself and compared the before and after side-by-side and lo & behold, I can not see a difference :( I don't know if it has to set in now and will gradually lighten up as the day goes on but I don't think that's how the product (or any of these products) work - the results should be seen after full and proper use of the product.

    At least I saved my receipt since I will definitely be writing in for a refund. I might try the light with different products and see if I have better luck (rubbing peroxide on my teeth, or those basic whitening thick gels) and see if there's a noticeable improvement.

    Personally, I wouldn't waste your money on this. And trust me, my teeth are only slightly yellow, so I definitely thought I'd see something, anything. I am very objective and know I appreciate honest and in-depth reviews. I hope this helps some of you out there.

    I received this as a gift, so I can't return it. What a waste of time and money. As others have stated the light wand does not work. I put in the batteries, pressed the on botton, the light came on and than turned off... I kept trying to no avail it does not work. Do not waste your money...buy crest white strips...works and so much easier to use.

        Worked great for this price and this fast. My teeth and gums weren't sensative at all like the white strips make them. I really saw noticable results in less than a hour of use.

          I have to say I really liked this product. I had an important meeting(Entire company Natl Meeting) coming up and I wanted white teeth. I bought the Luster kit because of the product name "One Hour", and the high end look of the packaging. Yes I am a sucker for a pretty package. I brought the product home and used it while I watched television. When I was done it had really worked. My teeth were brownish yellow from drinking coffee. After I used the product my teeth were not completely white but they looked far better than they had an hour earlier. I am hooked and will use the product again.

          I was skeptical but it really worked great! I used it maybe 5 times in an hour and my teeth were much, much whiter!! I was impressed! The wand is kind of cheapo but it still works. I found my set on sale for [$] and couldnt pass it up! Glad I didnt!

              I bought this product and could never get the battery case to open. After reading many reviews on the product, appears I am not the only one who has found the light wand to be a poorly constructed product. Disappointing given this is key to the product effectiveness. In the end, I threw the whole thing out. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Go for regular dental visits, brush your teeth as recommended & use whitening strips to combat daily stains from building up.

              Comments about Luster Premium 1 Hour White, At Home Tooth Whitening System:

              I usually don't purchase teeth whitening products because they are costly, messy, inconvenient and never seem to whiten as promised. I'm a smoker who also drinks lots of coffee so my teeth were getting pretty yellow. I have the top of my mouth capped so wanted to whiten just the bottom teeth. I used this for the first time last night and was suprised at the effectiveness after 20 applications. I may or may not have lightened 5/6 shades (it's hard to tell really) but they are definitely looking much whiter. I did have some sensitivity on my gums but applying vaseline to my inner lip and gums greatly reduced the discomfort.The system [$] is fairly expensive, but much cheaper than the dentist. I would recommend using if you are not expecting miracles and since I haven't found a product yet that does all it states it can do, this is a pretty safe bet.One final note: If you are not very careful to follow directions for battery insertion it could break. I had none of the problems like those stated by other users.

              I use this product before I have something special going on. While my tooth color doesn't seem nearly as bad as their enclosed shade card options, I definitely saw a difference after 10 apps. I have a gag reflex, so I like being able to do this at my own pace and take a break in between apps. Definitely a cheap, easy option that does show a degree of result.

                  I was looking forward to trying this out! I inserted the batteries correctly, closed the lid and discovered that the lid would not stay closed. The light came on for all of 10 seconds, followed by some beeping, and then the whole unit fell apart in my hands. I was pretty disgusted with the system after that and tossed it. I strongly urge against buying this unless you are a looking for a lesson in futility.
