Cambridge scientist’s facial oil is overnight success

  • Cambridge-educated skin scientist Sara Palmer Hussey created the facial oil
  • Contains ‘fountain of youth’ centella asiatica extract plus green coffee seed
  • Sold 10,000 bottles on launch and now commands a 2,000-person waiting list 

Women are queuing up in their thousands for a £60 facial oil that promises to turn back the clock thanks to a potent blend of plant oils.

Devised by a Cambridge scientist, Lumity Skin’s Nutrient Face Oil has garnered something of a cult following and is already receiving rave reviews online.

But if you want to get your hands on a bottle you’re out of luck as the miracle oil – dubbed a ‘phytonutrient powerhouse’ – is completely sold out with a waiting list of 2,000.

Billed as ‘the most high tech oil on the market’ due to its blend of 32 natural plant ingredients, the product that’s beloved by celebrities including Helena Christensen shifted 10,000 bottles on its launch and is now completely sold out. 

Anti-ageing in a bottle: The sold-out oil (£60 for 30ml, lumitylife.co.uk) is infused with spicy vetiver and may chang, an evergreen shrub, which gives it a punchy citrus scent

Cambridge-educated skin scientist Sara Palmer Hussey is the brains behind the sell-out formula, which saw some 73 per cent of women achieve a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles in just four weeks according to a study of 100 people.

Among its wonder ingredients is green coffee seed oil which contains chromogenic acid – a powerful antioxidant known to boost elastin and collagen production in the skin.

It also contains centella asiatica extract, dubbed ‘the fountain of youth’, which helps to boost blood flow, giving the skin an instant pick me up.
