Product Description: Illuminé tooth whitening gels may be used alone or following treatment with an in-office tooth whitener. Illuminé tooth whitening gels contain carbamide peroxide, which has shown to be most effective for the treatment of tooth discolourations at home. Illuminé 10% tooth whitening gel contains 10% carbamide peroxide, releasing H2O2 (the active ingredient) in a concentration of about 3.6%. Illuminé 15% tooth whitening gel contains 15% carbamide peroxide, releasing H2O2 in a concentration of about 5.4% and sodium fluoride.
