Its Like Smearing Lotion All Over Your Head3 stars because i will never know if it works. the smell is too much for me to be able to use it. It isnt HORRIBLE but..... it smells and feels like putting lotion in your hair. And you dont get used to the smell, its pretty strong. I couldnt even use it just when i sleep it kept me awake. If the smell doesnt bother you it may work for you. I'll stick with rogaine thoughposted Jan 18, 2012Link to this post -

Surprised To Find It Actually WorksI tried Spectral DNC-L because it seems to combine just about every known hair loss treatment in one package. I wasn't confident it would work much better than minoxidil alone but surprisingly after just two months I'm seeing hair regrowth along the hairline. It's still fine hair and not yet significant but promising enough to keep using it and give it a chance.
The smell is a small issue for me but not a big one. If it grows my hair back it's worth it. The other thing I like is the booklet that comes with it which actually contains a lot of info and even some published scientific papers.
The big difference from regular Spectral DNC seems to be that DNC-L has the topical DHT inhibitors (saw palmetto etc). I understand the jury is still out on the value of these and I take Propecia anyway so I will give regular DNC a try next - hopefully it won't smell as strongly.posted Sep 10, 2011Link to this post -

What Are You All On About??This product is the best thing since sliced bread!!! It doesn't make your hair wet like Minoxidil and it makes your hair on your temporal area to grow back!!! What other product does that??? I can't believe ppl are so delusional on here to even remotely complain about its smell??? WTF??? There is no smell but if your so classless to complian about something that seriously smells like normal cream then use engine oil products Minoxil and quit the complaining because I can't believe these silly posts almost put me off the amazing little product thanks so much!!! DS labs. P.S : DS labs a years supply of this product would be amazing!!! In return I would be more than happy to let the world know how fabulous your product is!!! Thanks so much!posted Aug 24, 2011Link to this post -

No Changes No ChangesI have used this product for about 6 months and seen no difference at all. As a matter of fact, I continued losing hair. I lose a lot of hair during shower and thought it would stop it, but same scenario. I am still losing hair in the shower and outside. There is really not much to say. everyone should understand that. If your hair loss is caused by genetic reasons, then you should not use anything and just wait for your destiny to happen because all these products are made to take the money out of our accounts. That's it guys. For those who say it works, just think guys; their hair loss probably came to a stop, that's what stopped their hairloss, not the product. If a person is bald, he is not completely bald. so hair loss will stop at a certain level and you just need to wait for that time... HAIR IMPLANTATION is I think the only way...posted Aug 20, 2011Link to this post -

Seems To Be WorkingAlthough it's only been a few weeks we are seeing results. The bad smell that I read about on previous reviews(before buying)was non-existent. It has no greasy residue and no smell - so is virtually undetectable upon application. So far so good!posted Jan 18, 2010Link to this post

So Far, Soooo Dry... And A Little Sore.i am a female trying out this product despite ds labs advice to the contrary -- they claim the formula might be too aggressive for women. however, the minox-free product they do sell for women has received overwhelmingly negative reviews on the web. anyway, i'm only into my third week of using the dnc-l formula. No growth happenning so far, but i do like the texture of the serum coming out of the bottle; its not oily at all. i've noticed it does seem to have an overwhelmingly drying effect on the hair and scalp, and there was some shedding initially. i've also noticed some soreness on the scalp, but no scabbing as others have reported. interestingly, the hair remaining on my scalp feels really strong. like i said, no growth yet and i'm not terribly impressed with the dryness. i will continue for another month or so, then update.posted Jan 4, 2010Link to this post -

Works, And New Smell Not Too Bad.This stuff DOES in fact work, even on the front hairline. And the previous formulas used to stain and smell worse, but I think they have corrected that. The current batches don't smell bad at all, and the yellowing of the skin is much less noticable as well. However, as everyone else says, the pump is HORRID. DS Laboratories apparently doesn't care either. I have already returned 2 bottles to them for bad pumps and they still keep sending out bad pumps. My guess is that at $45/bottle they are making so much money they don't care about bad pumps and returned bottles. If you get a bad pump, I urge you to call them, complain, and demand a new bottle. Maybe if enough people do this they'll get off their butts and fix the pump issues.posted Oct 7, 2009Link to this post

Formula Works, Even For Front!i used this for 2 weeks and already saw results. i stopped using it when i went on a trip, and the results reversed. HOWEVER, everyone knows you have to keep using for these types of thing to work on hair loss.worked in front especially, which is extremely rare (no fda solution is known to regularly do that).no bad smells, yellow-ish stains but who cares.i put on too much one time, and got dizzy from the minoxidil - SO, i advise you not to glob it on, even though after a thin layer it absorbs so fast. just let it be. (dizziness cleared up within the hour when i went to bed. only happened once, no big deal.the only problems are with the bottle - i swear, some idiot with 1/19 of a brain made it. the thing has a pump which absolutely does not work after the first couple of uses (no it is not "jammed" its just wont suck the stuff up.posted Jul 30, 2009Link to this post

Had To Stop Using ItI had high hopes for this one. I had used the Fabao products with some success and the Nioxin products when my hair loss was limited. With this product I almost immediately started to develop small scabs and this problem continued for about two weeks before I stopped.posted Mar 26, 2009Link to this post

Working Great But 1 ProblemAfter 3 bottles of Spectral DNC-L the product is working best in the frontal area where hair loss was the most recent.New real hairs are appearing all over the front. My balding spot in the back area has been void for a while and may take longer to achieve results. As for the smell, it is not nearly bad as some people have claimed.The only big problem with the product is the pump system which is poorly designed. You are supposed to pump 4 times to get the product out and it is supposed to give you 1 ml of product. The pump does not pump out that amount and stops working or actually does not work at all. I am on my third bottle and what I have done to insure 1 ml of product is I obtained a 1 ml spoon and I open the bottle and transfer the product using the pump stem and scrape it on the sides of the spoon till I get the full 1 ml. On my first bottle after 60 applications (supposed empty bottle at that time) I noticed that there was a lot of product left in the bottle indicating to me that my applications were not being applied at the full amount. The first bottle was the only one that the pump worked at all. Bottles 2 and 3 did not work and I suggest using the 1 ml spoon method.posted Mar 7, 2009Link to this post
