Dr. Jeff Gunter, a dermatologist and wealthy individual, is running for the U.S. Senate in Nevada as the self-proclaimed “America First” candidate. However, it has come to light that in his younger days, he appeared in late-night infomercials promoting an anti-wrinkle skin serum that allegedly caused a man to contract a serious disease.
Despite his successful career in dermatology and his past role as a U.S. ambassador, Gunter is now seeking the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate against decorated combat veteran Captain Sam Brown. Brown, who suffered extensive burns while serving in Afghanistan, has emerged as a strong candidate for the Senate race in Nevada.
The revelation of Gunter’s infomercial appearances has raised questions about the sincerity of his campaign and has drawn comparisons to the questionable nature of the anti-wrinkle serum he once promoted. The infomercials, which are difficult to find online, showcase Gunter endorsing the “Youthology 90-second wrinkle removing serum” as a non-invasive alternative to cosmetic procedures.
One man who purchased the serum filed a lawsuit claiming that it led to severe health issues, including necrotizing fasciitis. While Gunter was initially named as a defendant in the lawsuit, he was later removed from the case and the company settled with the plaintiff. Reviews of the product online have labeled it a scam or ripoff.
Gunter’s campaign has defended his involvement in the infomercials, stating that he was promoting a colleague’s product and that it was effective for many customers. Despite the controversy, Gunter maintains that his campaign is legitimate and emphasizes his commitment to helping people improve their skin health.
The outcome of the Republican primary between Brown and Gunter will determine who will challenge Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) in the November election.
