Disappointed
As a fromer dental health care worker I have used many brands of whitener. The first sign this product was a dud was lack of peroxide buddles in the tubes and after a cumulative hour of treatment zero change. Expiration date said good until 2027 so either it is a false product or has be long stored at very warm temperatures.
