Crest White Strips really work. We stock up when in the US. You can only get them via Amazon in UK.

I’ve found Pdoo whitening strips from Amazon are very effective and don’t cause any sensitivity issues.

There is nothing you can legally buy in the U.K., EU , Australia or New Zealand that will whiten your teeth , as it is illegal to have enough of the peroxide content to do anything .

The only legal and safe way is via your dentist which will cost around £300 but then you have the trays and only have to buy the gel ,via your dentist, which will cost around £20.

Anyone selling crest strips is knowingly breaking the law as there is no legal way for them to source them to sell to you in the U.K. etc . Especially on Amazon it is a problem see the link.

So you would be buying from criminals with no guarantee they are genuine and safe and then putting them inside one of the most sensitive parts of your body.

Go and see a dentist.

Don't buy teeth whitening products from online marketplaces - Which?

Our tests found that 58% of teeth whiteners bought from AliExpress, Amazon, eBay and Wish contained illegal and dangerous levels of hydrogen peroxide

It is only legal to have less than 0.1% hydrogen peroxide in these strips in the U.K., EU , NZ and Australia . This percentage will not whiten teeth.

The first ingredient on these strips is hydrogen peroxide and although it is very difficult, for obvious reasons , to find out percentage it looks as if they start at 15% which is higher than even a dentist is allowed to use in the U.K.

These products are illegal, the people selling are knowingly breaking the law . https://www.which.co.uk/news/article/dont-buy-teeth-whitening-products-from-online-marketplaces-agxQc7m2V4ow

Agree with others, you cant get anything over the counter that whitens in th UK, they stopped that a very long time ago. You need to go to your dentist. Our local one charges £299 for the treatment and trays, and it's definitely worth the cost and works.
