PAP+ vs. Peroxide: What’s the Difference and Why It Matters

Introduction

For decades, peroxide has been the go-to ingredient in teeth whitening. While it can be effective, it often comes with side effects such as sensitivity, gum irritation, and enamel weakening. At Glimora, we believe whitening should be both safe and effective. That’s why we use PAP+ (Phthalimidoperoxycaproic Acid)—a peroxide-free formula that whitens without discomfort. In this blog, we’ll compare PAP+ vs. Peroxide and explain why the future of whitening is peroxide-free.

What is Peroxide Whitening?

Peroxide (commonly hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide) whitens teeth by releasing free radicals that break down stains.

• Pros: Fast results, widely available.

• Cons: Tooth sensitivity, enamel damage, gum irritation, not suitable for everyone.

What is PAP+ Whitening?

PAP+ whitens teeth through an oxidation process without releasing harmful free radicals. Instead, it works gently on the surface of the tooth:

• Safe for enamel: no structural weakening.

• Sensitivity-free: no sharp pain or gum burning.

• Clinically tested: up to 8 shades lighter in 4 weeks.

• Enhanced formula: when combined with Hydroxyapatite and Potassium Citrate, it even supports enamel and gum health.

Conclusion

Peroxide may whiten teeth, but it often leaves you with sensitivity and long-term risks. PAP+ offers a smarter, safer, and equally effective solution. If you want a brighter smile without compromising your enamel, PAP+ is the clear winner.
