TV presenter Emma Willis is the new face of Marks and Spencer’s skincare range
Presenter Emma Willis has a big year coming up, as she’s taking over hosting duties of Strictly Come Dancing. Despite a packed schedule, the 50-year-old’s skin looks glowy and wrinkle-free – and now, she’s revealed her skincare secrets.
Emma is the new face of Marks and Spencer’s skincare collection, Formula, telling Hello! Magazine she loves the range because it doesn’t “overcomplicate skincare”. The TV icon says: “We’ve all heard the buzzwords, but most people just want to know what something does and whether it works.”
According to Hello!, Emma’s a fan of The Ultra Peptide Eye Cream (£20), because it “doesn’t sting”. The cream is infused with caffeine – which can help minimise under-eye puffiness – as well as niacinamide, for ultra hydration. Other ingredients include line-smoothing bakuchiol and advanced peptides, to ‘support collagen stimulation for firmer-looking skin’.
Emma Willis isn’t the only fan of this eye cream – according to M&S, 93% of people agreed that the eye area looked smoother after first use. It’s also not the only product the presenter loves from the Formula collection.
She also tells Hello! she’s been regularly using The Ultra Peptide Neck & Décolletage Cream (£22) to target what she calls her “crepey neck”. This nourishing cream is designed to be applied on the décolletage, neck and face morning and/or night.

M&S has released new skincare products, including the Ultra Peptide Neck & Décolletage Cream
It’s all about hydration, with ingredients like shea butter and blackcurrant seed oil, promising a ‘non-greasy finish’. Like the eye cream, it contains advanced peptides to boost collagen production – which is crucial for bouncy, youthful skin.
As an alternative eye cream, shoppers could look to the Anua PDRN Caffeine Rejuvenating Eye Cream, which costs £16.20 (down from £18) at Boots. This product contains caffeine to banish dark circles, along with PDRN to boost collagen production.
For a different moisturiser, LookFantastic has the Innisfree Green Tea Ceramide Cream for £25. It’s described as a ‘nourishing moisturiser’ for dry and sensitive skin, with green tea-derived ceramides to help calm any redness.
These additions to the M&S Formula collection are brand new, so there aren’t yet any reviews for the The Ultra Peptide Eye Cream or The Ultra Peptide Neck & Décolletage Cream online. However, customers have shared their thoughts about other products in the Formula range.
While the Restore & Nourish Firming Night Cream 50ml is currently sold out, it gives an insight into how customers have found the Formula products. One customer called it ‘a good product’, adding: “I have used this range for quite some time now and find it to be very good. My skin is certainly well nourished.”
Another person said: “I enjoy using the Formula products. My ageing skin feels soft and smells lovely.” While a third added: “I have been using Formula face creams for ages and thought I would try the extra firming night cream. It is fantastic, very smooth and feels really luxurious. Not only that, it is really good value for money.”
However, skincare is highly personal. One shopper shared as part of a longer review: “It does feel luxurious and creamy, hence 4 stars, but a bit too rich for my skin.”
Another wrote: “Lightweight cream, but wish it was not scented. Although the fragrance is light and pleasant, I would prefer odourless for a night-time product.”
The Ultra Peptide Eye Cream and The Ultra Peptide Neck & Décolletage Cream are both available from M&S.
