Shoppers are evidently obsessed with these Teeth Whitening Strips – with teeth looking whiter after just one use, according to some thrilled users.
So, we just had to put them to the test, right?
Teeth whitening strips don’t get the best reputation, considering that they can actually do more harm than good with strong peroxide-led formulas, but these ones, from MySweetSmile (£19.99 reduced from £24.99) use an ingredient called PAP (its fancy name is Phthalimidoperoxycaproic Acid).
PAP aims to remove yellowing without the downside of sensitivity or irritation and is dentist-approved, according to the brand, as a safer way to whiten teeth at home.
Apparently, the whitening strips are that good, smokers and die-hard tea-drinkers are claiming they’ve been able to whiten stained teeth after use.
‘As a smoker and tea lover I have never seen my teeth look this good, even after a dental cleaning. Very generous amount is included in the box so I will continue to buy when I finish my current box,’ wrote one shopper online.
While another said: ‘These work just as you’d hope after the first session and without any sensitivity.’

Another user noted: ‘These strips stick really well to my teeth, they do not taste bad and they gradually whiten your teeth after the first one to two treatments.
‘I wouldn’t say they whiten like a dentist, but when I had mine whitened at a dentist it made my teeth feel funny for a few days, which these do not do making them a great alternative at an affordable price.’
And another explained how much using the strips have boosted their confidence, writing: ‘I highly recommend these to anyone who is feeling a little self-conscious about their smile.
‘My teeth look so much whiter and I’m finally feeling like I can smile with my teeth out without embarrassing myself.
‘Don’t get me wrong they’re not as white as you see on TV but don’t forget most models on TV have veneers anyway. However, they will restore the natural whiteness to your smile and make them sparkle again.’
While another commented how they taste a lot better than other teeth whitening strips, writing: ‘Saw these advertised on the underground so I wanted to give them a try.
Metro.co.uk tries teeth whitening strips
Mel, 32, says: ‘Whiter teeth after one use? Sign me up! No, seriously, where do I sign, because I do assume there is a catch, right?
‘Down to business, using the strips themselves is incredibly low-faff. I’ve used MySweetSmile’s Teeth Whitening Powder before and found it was kind of faffy, whereas with these strips you whack them on your teeth and go about your business for 30 minutes.
‘After the 30 minutes, you rinse off any remaining product and apparently you have a set of sparkling gnashers that’ll rival the best pair of Turkey Teeth.
‘My verdict on the whitening factor? I definitely noticed the effect on my teeth, but having slightly wonky teeth also made me notice where the product *didn’t* work as well. So something to keep in mind if you, like me, didn’t wear your retainer post-braces and now sport some slightly off-kilter mouth pegs.
‘Worried I was doomed with a multi-colour grin, after usual daily wear and tear and brushing, I noticed the white patches evened out and were gone the next day.
‘I can’t say I notice a striking brilliance a couple of days later to audition as a toothpaste model, but I do see there is a certain added sparkle I didn’t have before.
‘So in saying that, I reckon I’ll give the strips a few more goes to see if we can amp up the brightness. It’s certainly an easy-enough process, granted you’re mindful of at-home teeth whitening and its limitations and potential risks.’
‘I didn’t expect too much but I honestly noticed an instant difference. I’ve since recommended these to my friends who bought and also noticed the difference.
‘They don’t really taste of anything which is good, but the hardest part is not eating for half an hour lol. I will be buying these again when I run out in a few months.’
