I have been using this product twice daily, as directed, and received little to no benefit. I received an email asking how the product worked and told them it did not, but got no response.

Is not effective
Went through two bottles as directed. There was no change in dark spots...not the slightest. They did refund my credit card upon my request.
Dr. Gundry may have been a good surgeon but he is now an entrepreneur taking a few facts regarding health matters that he did not discover and blowing them into products that he sells for profit. Being a heart surgeon has nothing to do with knowing clinical nutrition, natural health, hygiene, or skincare.

Gundry MD Dark Spot Diminisher
Received the product in the first week of November 2019. Used it religiously morning and night until the 26th of January 2020 with 50% sunblock applied during the day. Absolutely no diminishing of the dark spots. This product is useless and I consider Gundry MD to be a scammer.

Still on the fence
I have used this product for almost 30 days according to the instructions (two times a day). I used it on my face and on my right forearm. My spots have faded but not as significantly as I would have liked. I have another bottle so I will review when I’ve finished that one as well.

Not working so far
I have been using as recommended for a few weeks and have seen no results. I did have a question in regards to how long do I have to wait after application that I know the product has absorbed into the skin? Also, how thick should I apply the dime size amount?

Hi David, I'm sorry to read that you haven't seen the results you had hoped while using our Dark Spot Diminisher. I encourage you to continue using the product consistently for a few more weeks. In regards to your question, we recommend evenly spreading the dime-sized amount directly onto the areas of your skin with pigmentation. Although it differs for everybody, please wait about 5-10 minutes for the product to fully absorb into your skin. If you have any other questions or decide this product is not the right fit for you, please email me at aria@gundrymd.com and I'd be happy to help.

SUCKER #1
Do you ever know you have been played for a sucker? I have and I feel like such a foolish person. I used this Dark Spot Diminisher and received nothing but feeling foolish and used. Do not fall for this as I did. Vanity is a weak shopping companion. Now to get a very little portion of what was to be a refund I have to spend more than 60% on shipping it back. Ladies just use lemon juice on your skin and see more results.

Hi Sandra, thank you for giving our Polyphenol Dark Spot Diminisher a try. I'm sorry to read that you did not see the results you had expected. As it is industry standard, we do ask that you return the products if requesting a full refund, as to ensure that you gave the product a fair trial. As an extra convenience, we offer a 40% refund to customers who do not decide to send back the product containers. Please email me at aria@gundrymd.com and I'd be happy to waive this for you this time.

Don't waste your money
Because Dr. Gundry is a well-known doctor, I bought this product thinking it would work if he was standing behind it. I got a 3-month supply and then a few days later I got another 3-month supply that I didn't order. I called and they took care of the mistake. I've used the product as recommended religiously twice a day for 2+ months on several dark spots on my face and hands. There is not any change whatsoever in the spots...no noticeable fading at all. What a hoax. Don't buy this.

This is a total scam. I ordered three bottles and used them as directed. Did not help one bit. Only diminished my "pocketbook. Please don't waste your money as I did!

Still waiting for my order.
You took my money and I'm still waiting for my product.
I wasn't given any way to check on my order. Or any way to contact you. All I do have is my order number and my PayPal payment account record.
Any recommendation remains to be seen.

Dark spot remover does its job!
I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun to get this huge dark spot on my nose to go away. I have almost given up on the idea that something would help. This product is the ONLY THING that is working. Not only is the spot on my nose is vanishing, but some of my other spots are too. Even my freckles! I want more of it!

It's ok
Have used it consistently morning and evening for close to two months. I find that it has faded the six spots on my face but has not totally diminished them and probably won't. My spots are from medication that I take every day as I don't lay out in the sun because my skin is fair and don't want to get burnt. So I can't really say one way or another that this won't diminish the spot from sun.
