A man who said his teeth were ‘badly stained’ from years of drinking coffee noticed a ‘huge difference’ after trying whitening strips that work out at around 83p-a-day. Teeth whitening products continue to grow in popularity, particularly among people looking for noticeable results without sensitivity or expensive dental treatments.
The strips in question are HeySmile Teeth Whitening Strips that are now £19.99 on Amazon and have been designed to deliver visible whitening after just one application. According to independent laboratory testing, the HeySmile whitening gel showed strong whitening performance when used over multiple applications.
In a controlled study, stained enamel samples were whitened by an average of 10 VITA® Bleachedguide shades after six applications, a recognised global measurement used to assess tooth whitening results. The same testing found HeySmile’s gel to be more effective than a comparable whitening gel tested under the same conditions.

“I was sceptical but gave them a go anyway. Smoker and coffee drinker, my teeth were badly stained. The first strip was used today and I can see a huge difference straight away. After one strip I was amazed at how this works and no sensitivity. It felt a little weird at first but you get used to it.”
Another commented: “Really happy with these strips! Easy to use, no sensitivity at all, and I noticed my teeth getting whiter after just a few applications. They stick well, taste fine, and give great results. Definitely recommend it if you want a simple at home solution.”
Not every product will suit everyone and this person said: “Not bad but had better.”
