Based on related reporting.

Research from related reporting describes a Good Housekeeping Beauty Lab test in which Crest’s whitening serum lightened teeth nearly three shades in two weeks. The reporting also notes that whitening results vary, so this supports the claim that a serum can work but does not establish that every serum will effectively whiten yellow teeth.[S3]
