To answer this question, you must understand that there are 2 different types of products available in pharmacies. The first is available in the form of "strips" or "trays" and contains peroxide that acts "deep" inside the tooth. The second one, mostly available as toothpaste, works by removing stains from the surface of the teeth. Strips" are known to be more effective than toothpaste, since the whitening is more pronounced and lasts longer. However, there are no large-scale studies that compare the effectiveness of strips (or toothpastes). However, you can search the ingredients of the products available in pharmacies for the product with the highest concentration of peroxide (carbamate). Theoretically, these products could be more effective than their lower concentration counterparts.
