Does HiSmile teeth whitening work?
HiSmile teeth whitening has been hugely successful, and its 22 and 24 year old Australian founders are now worth almost $50 million. The product has also been endorsed by many popular celebrities, including Kylie and Kendall Jenner. Hugely popular on social media, the official HiSmile Instagram account has 612.6k followers.
So does HiSmile live up to its famous reputation? Or have we all been sucked in by clever marketing and paid celebrity endorsements?
I tried out the HiSmile teeth whitening kit and used all the gels provided in the kit.

EASE OF USE:
Unboxing the HiSmile teeth whitening kit
Very easy to use with clear instructions. The instructions are basic, but simple. I found that the mouthpiece was a little awkward to put on, and the light made me salivate a lot!
TASTE:
Taste wasn’t too bad.

VERDICT:
I was pretty excited to try this out to see if it lived up to the hype. Unfortunately, I was left totally disappointed! My teeth did seem whiter at first, because the blue light tricks your eyes! The instructions say to use the kit for 10 minutes, but I left it in for longer because it didn’t do anything. I cannot honestly say that my teeth got whiter or even changed shade at all!
I really can’t recommend this product, I felt it was completely useless and certainly didn’t make my teeth whiter. Out of all the whitening products I’ve tried, HiSmile teeth whitening has got to be the worst! I think it just goes to show that you can’t always trust celebrity endorsed products!
