M&S never disappoints. Whether it's Holly Willoughby-approved fashion or quality food, the retailer has cemented itself as a one-stop shop for all our Winter must-haves. And when it comes to beauty, M&S have us (more than) fully covered on that front, too. 

Carrying over 50 brands spanning all budgets – from purse-friendly to mid-range – M&S' beauty department is just as well-stocked as you'd expect. (Making us all the more excited for the Marks & Spencer Black Friday deals.)

With big name brands including Prai, Murad, PIXI, Neal's Yard and L’Occitane appearing alongside M&S' own-label beauty goodies, the temptation to fill your basket with face creams every time you pop in for a pint of milk is all too tempting. 

So when M&S unveiled to Grazia their top 10 bestselling beauty products right now, we couldn't wait to see which of our favourites everyone else is loving, too. And from cleansing balms to toners, day creams and hand washes, it's clear that as a nation, we've got great beauty taste. 

In fact, stats have revealed that 2020 was the year we really got our skincare regime in order, with M&S reporting a 160% spike in skincare sales between April and June this year compared to last year. Online body product sales, meanwhile, were up by more than 800%. 

So just what is everyone buying? 

Here are the top 10 bestselling beauty products at M&S right now. How many of your favourites made the list?

Prai Ageless Throat & Décolletage Crème (50ml)

£25 | Marks & Spencer

The number one bestselling beauty product at M&S, the Prai Ageless Throat & Décolletage Crème is something of a wonder product when it comes to targeting fine lines and wrinkles in the oft-forgotten neck and throat area. The cream uses a unique lifting technology to tighten and smooth the area – which is prone to showing premature signs of ageing. View now at M&S.
