Hey guys! Serious question. Am I old because I remember Oil of Olay came in a glass bottle? Last week, I somehow ended up on the retro commercial Tiktok algo and it was serving me up some great old makeup commercials! An old Oil of Olay sprung up and it looked like it was from the 70s. I don’t remember the commercial at all to be honest with you so maybe I’m not THAT old but it did trigger a memory in me of how Oil of Olay came in a glass bottle.
As I recall it was still sold in a glass bottle in the early 90s or am I wrong? Fun fact Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 Face Moisturizer was my go to when I was like 14 or 15 years old. I worked at CVS when I was a freshmen in High School and I remember always buying it when it went on sale. I can’t say I actually owned a glass bottle of Oil of Olay but I do sort of recall them being around. I also remember thinking Oil of Olay was the height of luxury skincare.
Does anyone remember how much a bottle cost? I’m over here trying to recapture a feel good beauty era. Was it like $3 bucks or something in the 70s? It’s damn near $30 now! Well, technically the fluid is around $16 or so but there are so many formulations now that the cost goes up with the ingredients so you’re looking at around $25 to $30 per jar.
I find myself missing a lot of old beauty favs when I see commercials like this! What old formulas and products do you miss? Do share them!
