Sadly for me another product hype

By Cheryl S., Kansas, Verified Reviewer

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?

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

Highly fragranced

By Clair R., South Australia, Verified Reviewer

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.

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

It truly works

By Chrustina M., Chicago, IL, Verified Reviewer

I ordered it simply because I trust Dr. Gundry as I use several of his supplements. I’ve had it one week and it’s visibly diminishing by a lot. I very happy I bought it. My spots are from going on vacation for years in Cancun, Miami Beach, etc. I’m a beach person. I’m 58 years old and I’m sure some were age spots, but they’re disappearing. I’m very happy.

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

Dark Spot doesn't work on my face

By Mohammad Farid S., Riverdale, MD, Verified Reviewer

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.

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

Dual spots

By Richard C., Portland, OR, Verified Reviewer

My wife and I are both using the product. My wife has had exceptional results and my results not quite as fast as I have had mine for many years, my wife is 75, and I am 79. I expect that my spot will eventually disappear as it is slowly diminishing. It is more important for my wife as she used to cover hers with makeup.

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

Dark Spot Diminisher

By Janine M., California, Verified Reviewer

Hi, I've been using the Dark Spot Diminisher for a few weeks now and can tell that my skin has lighted up. The spots are still there, I am hoping that within time they too will go away, or lighten. I have noticed that the little bottle gets some of the product around the edge of the dropper and so some of the product is lost.

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

Miraculous product

By Sina B., Santa Fe, NM, Verified Reviewer

I ordered Dark Spot Diminisher a month or more ago, hoping to at least lighten the dark areas on my face, in particular, one very dark spot on my chin. It appeared a year ago and nothing would get rid of it, plus it was large, 3/4 inch long and 3/8 inch wide. I started applying it twice daily as instructed, within a week it literally sloughed off, I still have a smudge of dark spot on the area and am working on it now. I also apply the lotion to my forearms and my face zeroing in on dark areas. One on the underside of my wrist is half as dark as it was, I expect it to be totally gone in a few more weeks, the dark spots on my face are also fading. Incredible.

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

Verdict still out

By Pamela R., Sarasota, FL, Verified Reviewer

I have been using this for a month. I am seeing an improvement, but I have a few spots that are going to be my "challenge" success indicators. I will reserve my final verdict until I have used all the bottles I ordered. I am certainly hoping for a two thumbs up response.

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

Amazing!

By Joanne C., California, Verified Reviewer

I had tried several things, which did not work. I'm 69 and have several spots from sun damage over the years. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone wanting to remove brown spots. I had several on my face and within two days I could see that they were lightening.

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

Snake Oil Salesman

By Robyn K., Australia, Verified Reviewer

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.

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

When I'm 64

By Greta D., Davenport, IA, Verified Reviewer

I think I'm hooked! I'll be turning 64 in August (When I'm 64, Beatles song), and I'm feeling pretty good about myself. I had sunspots above my left eye, that looked like I did a terrible job on my eyeshadow. I've been applying Gundry MD to that area, and I'm really pleased with the results. I also use it on my hands and arms. I'm an avid gardener, and I am outside a lot. My best friend has a pool, and we get together every weekend. I stay in the shaded area, usually. We're from that era that liked to fry our skin to get a tan. As I get older, I'm going to try products that help me look younger. Thanks for helping your wife and me feel better about ourselves.

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