Brighter, whiter teeth can make you look healthier and more youthful, and give a real confidence boost too. And if you want to avoid splashing out on expensive professional dentist treatments, using the best home teeth whitening kits such as strips is a great alternative.

Spotlight Oral Care's brightening strips are a favourite amongst beauty influencers and industry insiders, and the brand has just launched its new and improved Ultra Teeth Whitening Strips, promising even better results at home and with minimal sensitivity.

Developed by dentists, these new once-a-day teeth strips contains hydrogen peroxide and PAP to break down stains, plus hydroxyapatite to protect and strengthen the tooth enamel. In Spotlight's trials, 93% of users said they felt happier with their smile after using these for 14 days, with 97% of participants saying they would recommend them to a friend.

New and improved for even better results

To use, apply them over the teeth (use the longer strip for the top teeth and the shorter one for the bottom), leave them on for up to an hour, then brush your teeth as normal, reports the Mirror.

Shoppers can buy these new teeth whitening strips in a pack of seven for £24.95 from Spotlight's own website, or a 14-day supply with a tube of Spotlight's whitening toothpaste for £44.95, which is the recommended treatment length for the best results.

However, Spotlight customers have reported seeing improvements in the colour of their teeth even sooner than that, with some noticing changes in as little as one day.

Available in packs of seven or 14

"I have not completed the 14 day Whitening treatment, but since day 1 I was impressed by the effectiveness of the strips," one satisfied customer shared. "You can see a clear difference after a couple treatments. Additionally, it causes no sensitivity issues. I am extremely happy with the results of the Ultra Teeth Whitening Strips."

"Easy to use and I noticed a difference after the 2nd day," another user commented.

"Immediate results seen after application of strips on the first day amazing! " exclaimed a third thrilled reviewer, though they did mention a slight downside: "Teeth were slightly sensitive following use, but that has improved significantly. Now, on day 4 can't wait to see results after 2 weeks!"

For those who do struggle with sensitive teeth, Lumineux Whitening Strips, £36.99, might be the perfect alternative. They're crafted with oils instead of peroxide and have garnered thousands of five-star reviews on Amazon.
