1. Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream, £57 at Space NK

Considering its army of loyal fans, it's no real surprise that Drunk Elephant came out on top. This repairing, nourishing and hydrating cream is "up 22% on last year and is our most popular moisturiser."

2. Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum, £67 at Space NK

A potent Vitamin C serum with 15% L-Ascorbic acid that helps boost skin's radiance and tackle the visible signs of skin ageing. "This year’s bestselling serum is a year on year top seller, and has climbed up the ranks to 2nd place this year."

3. Olaplex No 3 Hair Perfector Treatment, £26, Space NK

Once only available salons, this really is the ultimate antidote for damaged hair. “Olaplex became our top haircare brand after launching with us in June 2019. Almost a quarter of all haircare sales at Space NK are from the Olaplex range.”

4. Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash, £27 at Space NK

It's not an exaggeration to describe this as the holy grail of hand washes. "This product is up 40% on last year, with the whole hand washing category up 70% due to the COVID-19 pandemic and our customers wanting to treat themselves to more luxurious, less clinical handwashing products."

5. Olaplex No 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, £26 at Space NK

Unsurprisingly, the next two items on the list are two more from the excellent Olaplex at-home range. "Our bestselling shampoo, responsible for 21% of all Space NK shampoo sales in 2020."

6. Olaplex No 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner, £26 at Space NK 

Although they make a great match for coloured hair, you don't need to have dyed your hair to benefit from the Olaplex range. "Responsible for 27% of all Space NK conditioner sales and proof that customers will buy into a full regime if they can see the results."

Diptyque Baies Scented Candle, from £27 at Space NK

This rich and fruity scent has to be one of the most popular scented candles in the world. "Home fragrance saw a 24% increase, driven by candles, due to people using scent to create a calming ambience while confined to their homes."

8. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, from £18 at Space NK

The celeb favourite skin smoothing body cream that almost smells good enough to eat, you can also buy the iconic Sol de Janeiro scent in candle form.

9. Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara, £29 at Space NK

Don't believe us when we say this is a seriously popular contender for the best mascara? It's "Space NK’s fastest-selling mascara ever, which, at launch sold at a rate of 1.6 units per minute." Wow.

10. Sunday Riley Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment, £85 at Space NK

We may not be able to get the lactic acid version in the UK now, but this is still a wonder product in our eyes. "This year saw a 70% uplift on peel products (i.e. retinols, resurfacing pads). With more time spent at home, customers were ready to invest in results-driven products."
