Gundry MD Dark Spot Diminisher

My one star is due to the fact that synthetic fragrance is added to this product and I am highly sensitive to added fragrance. In fairness, the serum felt lovely and was non-greasy. At first, the fragrance was tolerable, but after three applications over a period of two days, I could no longer bear it. On the evening of day two using this product, I felt nauseous, headachy, and foggy-headed. I felt like the fragrance had diffused into my blood stream and lungs it was that overbearing. It seemed to have a cumulative effect as it was not as bad during the first two applications. After the third, I had to get back in the shower and wash it back off again, and I still felt ill afterward. The sick, foggy feeling took a few days to wear off. People with a sensitivity will understand.

I had persevered using it at first because I really wanted to give it a chance, and like I say, the fragrance was tolerable in the first instance. I'd purchased two sets of three bottles after being enticed by the pop up special offers that occur as you place your online order, and I'd been convinced of its effectiveness after listening to Dr. Gundry's presentation. I had faith and trust that the product was comprised of natural ingredients as this is what I was led to believe during the lengthy infomercial. I have known of Dr. Grundy for some time and listened to his discussions on YouTube regarding health and toxicity. I have also read his book - The Plant Paradox. This gave me a false sense of trust regarding his products and his concern for health.

I now have to return the six bottles and pay further shipping costs (to and from Australia). I have emailed the company to ask that if under the circumstances they would be willing to refund the shipping cost at least one way for me out of goodwill, but they have declined. I cannot say whether this product will diminish brown spots, as I could not stand to use it long enough to find out. But if you are not sensitive to strong added fragrance, it may be worth a try.

I have been using the Polyphenol Dark Spot Diminisher since June 22, 2018, twice a day at morning and before bed, but unfortunately, this product doesn't work for my face. Even my face got worst and increased my spots and I have started my sunblock in the morning time.

I don't know. I have been used multiple products against my dark spot but no luck. I will have to visit a skin specialist.

Thanks Steven Gundry, MD for such a product.

I bought this product with lot of doubts as I have tried many other products. I am an Asian origin from Australia. For me, in 2 weeks' time, I saw the cream is making the spots lighter. The lighter spots faded, the darker one became light. After applying in spots leftover I put in my cheeks where I started to see my natural pink color, which I saw many years ago. I am 50 now. For Australian dollars, I paid $214 for 3 bottles, that is expensive for me. I will recommend this product.

I was so anticipating something that truly worked to diminish dark spots, and decided that I would believe once again, especially since Dr. Gundry added the extra accountability factor of speaking his claims in person, not just in print. Five weeks of using Spot Diminisher, I finished the bottle, used it twice a day faithfully, and there is zero change. So disappointing. It seems to always be noted that the product works on some and not others. What?

I have used three bottles so far, used too much product, and I'm learning that far less goes a long way. The biggest spot on the lower left side of my face is fading now. One thing I have learned...you must be patient and keep using this if you really want the spots to go away.

They didn't show up quickly, so they won't go away quickly, patience is a virtue. I have two spots on my left hand, they are slightly fading too, as well as another spot on my right forearm.

I look forward to the day I won't have to use concealer on my face.

Try this if you are serious about fading your spots. At this point, I can honestly say that I'm using 1/2 the foundation on my face that I use to. Thank you Dr. Gundry.

I am so thankful to have learned about the Dark Spot Diminisher. I had developed unsightly dark spots on both hands. If that wasn't bad enough, the dark spots began forming on the bridge and side of my nose. I read about this product and decided to give it a try.

I am happy to say that it is amazing. It is absorbed immediately so - rub it in quickly! The spots on my hands and face lightened with one to two applications.

Another great (and unexpected) result I can report about this product is the fact that it significantly diminished the redness and inflammatory condition I have in my face. For the first time in years, I have left the house without makeup on.

Thank you so much.

I was so excited and hopeful to try this product as I have tried every cream, serum, and remedy to help lighten my facial age spots. I am 53 years old and like other young people, enjoyed my time in the sun; now I am paying for it. I'm sorry to say after about a 3-week use, I have not noticed any difference. I find it to be a little greasy on my face after I apply it, which is fine at night for sleep; however, under my moisturizer and makeup, makes my face very oily. Your customer service dept is fantastic as I had a billing question and she was very helpful.

I called Customer Care and requested a refund. I bought three bottles, used as directed daily, and got no results. Their rep was polite, but unless I return my empty bottles, I would only receive 40% back. If I had known (in advance) that I was supposed to keep empty bottles, I would have done so. They need to do the right thing and refund 100%.

I have been using this product for about one month and have noticed a general lightening of my skin. It looks fresher somehow. As to the dark spots, maybe a slight change. However, I haven’t faithfully applied it twice daily. It has a drying effect and sometimes I think my skin is already too dry. I purchased two bottles and have already started on the second bottle. Before ordering more, I will wait to see the final results when that bottle is empty.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I’ve been using this product on my face twice a day for two weeks. My dark spots have actually gotten darker and my skin has developed a slight reddish tone. This is the complete opposite of what I was expecting. Not worth the money. I have had better results with other products. I will either return the product or use it as a moisturizer on another part of my body that I don’t care about.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I am trying to improve the appearance of my sun damaged skin. Although I did not believe the assertions that dark spots are not sun related I was willing to try. At the very least, I thought, it will make the skin less dry or perhaps even out the color a little. No such luck! It did nothing! I am now 3 bottles in and nothing has changed. No point sending it back as I wanted to after the first bottle as postage is expensive, may as well just use it now.

What they are selling is akin to the garbage peddled by the snake oil salesman of days gone by. Save your money! Buy cheap creams, rose hip, paw paw – just as efficacious for a fraction of the cost

I certainly hope Dr. Gundry's approach to his everyday medical job is a little more evidence-based.
