It does take a bit of work to wash all the purple tones from your teeth but the brightening effect makes it worth it.

After using the whitening strips and finishing with the purple colour corrector toothpaste for a few weeks, my teeth had noticeably become a few shades whiter. With the removal of excess air and water, products require less packaging and become more efficient to dispatch. Bought these hoping it would be a gentle way of whitening my teeth but after one use I have been left with a constant aching pain in my teeth and sensitivity to hot and cold foods.

Personally, I prefer something a bit more low effort, which is why the Hismile PAP+ Strips caught my eye.

Glycerin, Aqua/Water, PVP, Ethylcellulose, Alcohol, Sodium Polyacrylate, Phthalimidoperoxycaproic Acid (PAP), Xylitol, Potassium Citrate, Hydroxyapatite, Rebaudioside A, Menthol, Sodium Citrate, Xanthan Gum, PVM/MA Copolymer, C12-15 Pareth-3.

When combined with the brand's PAP+ formula, VIO405 apparently provides you with the whitest and brightest at-home whitening results. They pride themselves on offering a solution to more traditional and painful methods of teeth whitening that use peroxide.

In 2014, we launched our first Teeth Whitening Kit, 9 years later, Hismile products are in millions of homes around the globe. While I don't want to emulate a cast member from Love Island's blindingly white gnashers, taking my smile a few shades lighter is the goal. Some people swear by swilling coconut oil for whiter teeth or use activated charcoal and a teeth whitening kit in an attempt to remove stains.

The teeth whitening strips are a best seller for HiSmile, providing fast and noticeable results after just one treatment. I didn't notice my teeth getting whiter by the day but after the six sessions, they'd definitely lightened by a few shades.
