none work. they can remove surface stains only. repeated use of ' whitening' toothpaste thin the enamel and make the yellow dentine show more also makes teeth more sensitive. whitening gel needs to be carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide at least 10% from your dentist. check up and a hygiene visit first if whitening toothpastes worked there'd then professional whitening wouldn't have been invented

That ^^
I use white glo toothpaste occasionally to remove staining then swap back to normal toothpaste
