The severity of the Russian winter. Plus the mass gathering of French soldiers in an adandoned Moscow inevitably resulted in ill-discipline, and ultimately the Moscow fire.
As Napoleon was committed to sending so many soldiers to the East, and Britain's naval power was so immense, there was no real prospect of mounting a meaningful invasion of Britain. 'The natural' obstacle being the English Channel - although considerable British effort was spent in building shore defenses at the very beginning of the C19th (prior to the 'main' Russian conflict).
Note also the difficulties of maintaining supply lines to the vast armies associated with Napoleonic warfare.
