It's out of this world!

NASA scientists develop £599 anti-ageing cream using diamonds from space

From Botox and lasers to surgery and high-end face creams containing a whole host of bizarre ingredients, it seems that we have entered a new era in the fight against ageing.

But the latest addition to the litany of unusual lotions and potions taking the beauty world by storm is literally out of this world.

111 SKIN Celestial Black Diamond Cream is a potent antiageing concoction using rare diamond dust particles that has been developed by NASA scientists and tested on astronauts in outer space.

The galactic cream, which is sold exclusively at none other than luxury department store Harrods, doesn't come cheap. Beauty aficionados desperate to turn back the clock must pay a staggering £599 for 50ml.

111 SKIN Celestial Black Diamond Cream claims to penetrate the deeper layers of skin in order to transport potent youth restoring ingredients including NAC Y2 formula, Collagen type I and III and Hyaluronic acid.

And as you'd expect for a cream packed with diamond particles, it contains brightening agents to give skin a glowing appearance and a healthy complexion whilst diminishing signs of age spots and pigmentation.

The incorporation of black diamond particles is borrowed from medical research where they are used in cancer and rheumatism drugs as a delivery mechanism.

The 111 Skin range, which this quirky new product is a part of, was founded and developed by plastic surgeon Dr Y. Alexandrides MD of 111 Harley Street, London, in collaboration with space scientists.
