Home to over 100 in-demand and innovative beauty brands, Space NK is THE ultimate destination for luxury beauty discovery. Opening its doors back in 1993, it started out as a single store in Covent Garden selling smoothies, independent fashion labels and emerging beauty brands from across the pond. Now, over 20 years later, the beauty retailer has 72 stores in the UK, all of which are now open (as of the 12th April) so get shopping people!
If you're not sure where to start, the beauty retailer (that houses everything from home fragrance to make-up staples and hundreds of skincare saviours in-between) has just let us in on their 10 best-sellers that flew off the virtual shelves in 2020. In the year where working from home became the norm and loungewear became our uniform, it’s not surprising to learn that make-up took a backseat. Rather, it’s skincare that has stolen the show with so many of us investing in hard-working products that deliver on results. As well as skincare, haircare and home fragrance continue to hit the best-seller list with leave-in treatments and cosy candles flying off the virtual shelves.
‘I think this top 10 shows that people are continuing to invest in products that really deliver consistent reliable results, investing in their skin and hair’ says Sarah Meadows, Head of Buying at Space NK. ‘The inclusion of the Aesop hand wash obviously speaks to people’s new obsession with handwashing thanks to COVID-19, but also being willing to treat themselves to a little bit of everyday luxury in their own home.’
Scroll on down to discover Space NK’s top 10 best-selling beauty products that are totally worth snapping up in-store now…
Best-Selling Beauty Products Space NK
1 of 10Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream, £57
Space NK's most popular moisturiser has seen a rise in sales of 22% this past year. Why? The hydrating cream is packed with proteins and nutrients to protect skin, repair damage and bolster glow. What's more, the balanced pH level means it's extremely gentle and comfortable, suitable for all skin types.
2 of 10Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum, £67
Another favourite from Drunk Elephant, this super serum is a consistent top seller at Space NK. Starring a potent blend of L-ascorbic acid with ferulic acid and hydrating hyaluronic acid, skin looks brighter and firmer after continued use.
3 of 10Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector, £26
Olaplex became Space NK's top haircare brand after launching with them back in June 2019. It's little wonder as this take-home treatment that repairs broken bonds is a complete mane-changer for colour treated, damaged ends.
4 of 10Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash, £27
New to the best-seller list, Space NK has seen a 40% rise in sales of Aesop's hand wash over this past year. And as a whole, the hand washing category is up 70% thanks to COVID-19.
5 of 10Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, £26
Space NK's best-selling shampoo comes from, you've guessed it, Olaplex. Blended with sunflower seed oil, rosemary leaf extract and banana fruit, the gentle formula strengthens strands and bolsters shine. It's especially great for dry and colour-treated hair.
6 of 10Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner, £26
Complete your Olaplex haircare regime with this deeply nourishing conditioner that leaves hair silky smooth and stronger. Responsible for 27% of all Space NK conditioner sales, it's worth buying into a full regime when the results are this good.
7 of 10Diptyque Baies Scented Candle, £47
As we've hunkered down at home during lockdown, many of us have used home fragrance to create a warm, relaxing ambience. In fact, Space NK has seen a 24% rise in home fragrance, driven by candles. If you're after a new flame, light up this sweet blackcurrant and soft rose blend.
8 of 10Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
Please tell me you've smelt this? All sweet and nutty, it leaves limbs smooth and hydrated and softly scented all day long. Proving that lots of us are taking more time for self-care, Space NK has seen a 96% rise in sales this year.
9 of 10Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara, £29
The only make-up item to make best-seller status? Mascara, of course. An easy way to elevate your look for Zoom (and out and about in a mask), Hourglass's Unlocked Mascara curls, lifts and lengthens like no other. Which is why it's Space NK's fastest-selling mascara ever.
10 of 10Sunday Riley Good Genes, £85
Last year saw a 70% uplift on peel products on Space NK. With more time spent at home, we're willing to endure short-term redness or dryness to reap those long-term skin-saving benefits.
