Reviews
- CLConnie L.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars10 months agoMost effective serum thus far
I was given a sample of this to try for 4 weeks. This serum really does deliver results within a few weeks. There was a noticeable difference even after one week of use. I have tried many non-prescription products out there to help treat PIH over the years and none were as effective even after finishing full bottles.
I did make the mistake of using it daily at the get go which led to some irritation/redness. When I backed down the frequency to three times a week, the redness went away. Definitely start off slow to allow your skin to acclimate to the product. After 4 weeks of regular use, the dark spots have faded significantly (see pics).
So appreciate that this product contains so many effective ingredients in one formulation, so I don't need to use multiple products which gets costly and time consuming. The texture is light weight and absorbs well. There's no fragrance which is important since my skin is sensitive. Looking forward to results from using this serum continually long term.
- KKatieVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars10 months agoThankful
I had the fortunate advantage of trying this product for 3+ weeks before its official release. I have dry, sensitive, eczema-prone skin and I suspected I would have to stop the product a few days into trying it because I would have some kind of reaction. Instead, I ended up using a pea-sized amount daily without any irritation or dryness; in fact I skipped moisturizer most nights because my normally tight-dry skin felt comfortable and moisturized. The product has a lotion-like consistency and a little goes a long way. In the daytime I wear a tinted SPF to assist in reducing dark spots, which I have been doing daily for almost a year before starting this product. The pictures attached show my skin before using this product and after using it daily for 3 weeks. I highly recommend this product for all skin types.
- SSaiVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 months agoTHANK YOU DR.SHAH
I’ve struggled with dark spots from acne for a long time and have tried countless products with little to no success. However, after using Dr. Shah’s Dark Spot Cream for just one month, I’ve seen a huge difference in my skin. The spots have significantly lightened, and my complexion is much clearer now. I’m so grateful to have found a product that actually works, and I can’t thank Dr. Shah enough for creating this amazing cream!"
I’m adding pictures before and after without any makeup

- YRYenipher R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars7 months agoWorks great!!! I love it!!
I was a little skeptical at first because I’ve bought a lot of products claiming to remove dark spots but they didn’t really work for me, but THIS…. I don’t even know what to say; it’s like a miracle literally it’s the only product that’s actually worked and I’m very pleased with the results. (The photos are 2 weeks apart)
RSRemedy Science7 months agoThank you for sharing your results and feedback so far! We are thrilled to see these great improvements and hope you continue to love using the product.
