Even though formulas have evolved, several beloved skincare staples from the 1980s are still on store shelves—and many remain cult favorites. Here are some iconic picks that defined 80's routines and continue to be used today:
A cooling, eucalyptus-scented cleanser used for decades. In the 80s, it was a go-to for deep cleansing and removing heavy makeup.
A classic since long before the 80s, but massively popular in that decade. Used to remove makeup, moisturize, and serve as an all-purpose beauty balm.
3. Oil of Olay (now Olay) Beauty Fluid / Original Pink Lotion
Lightweight, floral, and fast-absorbing—this was a staple in 80s bathrooms everywhere.
The iconic exfoliator made with walnut shell powder. Extremely popular in the 80s and still sold today (with updated formulas).
The unmistakable cooling, alcohol-heavy toner used by teens and adults alike. Still available—and still strong!
6. Neutrogena Transparent Facial Cleansing Bar (Amber Bar)
This gentle, glycerin-based bar soap became a hit in the 80s for its “clean and clear” effect and is still found today.
Coppertone products were everywhere in the 80s, and many classic SPF lotions and sprays remain in modern versions.
8. Nivea Creme (blue tin)
A thick, rich moisturizer used for dry skin. Although older than the 80s, it had a major resurgence during the decade.
Part of the famous 3-Step System that was HUGE in the 80s. Today it’s still one of Clinique’s bestselling products.
10. Carmex Lip Balm
Popular in the late 80s for healing chapped winter lips. Still sold in similar packaging.
A timeless classic used as a moisturizer, makeup remover, and skin protector—even more popular in the 80s due to harsh exfoliants and drying toners.
This green clay mask was a staple of 80's sleepovers and at-home spa nights. It’s still sold today and remains a budget-friendly cult favorite.
