Woman, 66, says pores and skin was so ‘silky easy’ she ‘cannot cease touching face’ with £16 oil
A 66-year-old woman had been noticing ‘wrinkles creeping in’ but now she ‘can’t stop touching her face’ after discovering a £20 skincare oil – now cut to £16 – that has left her skin smoother and softer
Fans say they recommend the oil for ‘dry, combination or ageing skin’
A 66-year-old woman reveals she’d begun to spot ‘wrinkles creeping in’ but now confesses she ‘can’t stop touching her face’ after uncovering a £16 oil that’s completely transformed her complexion. The wallet-friendly discovery, she insists, has left her skin feeling silkier, softer and more moisturised within just weeks – and now it’s down to £16 on sale.
Her transformation reflects a growing trend towards natural, ingredient-focused skincare remedies, with one particular wonder ingredient capturing widespread interest: manuka honey. Long renowned for its distinctive qualities, it’s now being incorporated into accessible beauty treatments that pledge to pamper skin without the hefty cost.
The oil hails from Manuka Doctor, a brand founded on what it describes as ‘the world’s greatest pairing’, merging the efforts of the European honey bee with the ancient healing wisdom of Māori culture. The outcome is manuka honey, a potent ingredient harvested exclusively from New Zealand’s indigenous manuka bush.

The brand offers an array of skincare options to select from. For instance, there’s the top-selling 24K Gold Face Oil 12ml, which retails for £16 (was £20). Claimed to be scientifically validated to enhance skin texture and diminish the visibility of fine lines, it also functions to boost skin luminosity.
To apply it, customers should simply release a few drops onto their fingertips and delicately work it into the face and neck until fully absorbed, and it’s suitable for both morning and evening use. Also on offer is the Cashmere Cream, now priced at £13.95 with the discount code SUNNY (down from its original price of £20, and currently on sale for £15 before the code is applied).
Touted as an ‘age defying day cream with manuka honey’, this moisturiser pledges to deliver firmer and smoother skin after just one use. It’s presented in a 40ml tub and boasts a rich blend of oils, purified bee venom, manuka honey and shea butter, reports the Mirror.
Finally, there’s the Ceramide Moisturising Cream, also reduced to £13.95 with the code SUNNY (originally £20). This ultra-hydrating cream is perfect for dry to very dry skin types.
It’s packed with three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid and manuka honey. Described as rich, non-greasy and quick to absorb, it’s ‘ideal for sensitive skin types’.
Alternatively, shoppers might consider the Elemis Superfood Facial Oil 15ml, available for £57 on Lookfantastic. This popular product is a nourishing, nutrient-dense facial oil that hydrates the skin and promotes a brighter complexion.
Boots is offering the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream All-Over Miracle Oil 100ml for £34. It offers a host of benefits including skin hydration, soothing irritation and enhancing the skin’s natural collagen production.
Manuka Doctor products have received glowing reviews, with one delighted customer commenting on the 24K Gold Face Oil: “I have used this product for years now and would never look back. Skin glows and looks very youthful. A small amount goes a long way. I would certainly recommend it!”
Another shared: “Tried the 24k gold facial oil by Manuka Honey. I am developing a few wrinkles (I am 66!) so bought this product to boost the appearance of my skin.
“First application… wow! My skin drank it in. I used 3 drops from the pipette and warmed in my hands, then applied this liquid gold to my face and decollete, avoiding the eye area as directed. The oil absorbed well as I massaged my face gently.
“There was no oily residue on my nightwear or bedding in the morning. In the morning my skin was more refined and silky smooth and smelled wonderful, couldn’t stop stroking it. I am now using in my nightly regime and just ordered a second bottle, a little goes a very long way.
“Great value, I bought in the sale but would gladly pay full price. I highly recommend for dry, combination or ageing skin. Definitely worth 5 stars!”
Regarding the Cashmere Cream, one customer knocked off a star, saying: “I haven’t seen the result yet but It seems good. I recommend this product.” Another commented: “Hydration OK so far.”
Generally, the majority of customers were satisfied, with one noting: “Really lovely product soft and smells good.” Manuka Doctor’s 24K Gold Face Oil 12ml is presently priced at £16 on sale.
