Bausch + Lomb Launches LUMIFY EYE ILLUMINATIONS™ in the United States

First of its Kind Specialty Eye Care Products Clinically Proven to Support Beautiful, Healthy-Looking Eyes

Bausch + Lomb Corporation (NYSE/TSX: BLCO), a leading global eye health company dedicated to helping people see better to live better, today announced the U.S. launch of LUMIFY EYE ILLUMINATIONS, a new line of hypoallergenic specialty eye care products scientifically developed to cleanse, nourish and brighten the sensitive eye area.

“Many products contain chemicals or preservatives that can irritate the delicate area of and around the eye,” said John Ferris, executive vice president, Consumer, Bausch + Lomb. “Free from harsh, irritating ingredients, LUMIFY EYE ILLUMINATIONS were developed with both ophthalmologists and dermatologists and are clinically proven to deliver visibly beautiful results.”

Each product in the LUMIFY EYE ILLUMINATIONS line has been formulated with clean, nutrient rich ingredients and contains no fragrance, alcohol, sulfates, mineral oil, prostaglandins, PEG (polyethylene glycol), parabens, phthalates or PHMB (polyhexamethylene biguanide). In addition, the safety and performance of the products were tested up to 12 weeks with more than 15,000 applications using cutaneous and ophthalmic testing metrics.

The LUMIFY EYE ILLUMINATIONS product line, which builds on the success of LUMIFY^® redness reliever eye drops, includes:

• LUMIFY EYE ILLUMINATIONS 3-in-1 Micellar Cleansing Water and Eye Makeup Remover – this unique, lash extension friendly, no-rinse micellar formula provides powerful cleansing while hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and niacinamide moisturize and brighten the delicate skin around the eyes. The solution removes waterproof makeup without harsh rubbing and is pH-balanced to be non-irritating.
  • In clinical studies, subjects’ skin looked brighter, smoother and more radiant within just two weeks. By week eight, more than 75% of respondents felt their skin looked healthier and rejuvenated with an improved texture.
    
    
    
    
• LUMIFY EYE ILLUMINATIONS Nourishing Lash & Brow Serum – a unique complex of peptides, biotin and moisturizing hyaluronic acid nourish, soften and condition lashes and brows overnight. In clinical studies, noticeably fuller looking lashes and brows were seen in just four weeks. The two-in-one serum includes an easy-to-use applicator for both lashes and brows and dries quickly without feeling greasy or sticky.
  • In clinical studies, nearly 80% of subjects showed an improvement in the appearance of lash volume at 12 weeks, and 91% showed an improvement in the appearance of brow thickness.
    
    
    
    
• LUMIFY EYE ILLUMINATIONS Hydra-Gel Brightening Eye Cream – a unique blend of optic brighteners and firming ingredients helps skin look brighter and smoother with a subtle glow. Niacinamide, vitamins C and E, caffeine and hyaluronic acid help improve the appearance of skin tone, texture, fine lines and wrinkles with daily use.
  • By week 12 in clinical studies, approximately 70% of respondents noticed a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

“An increasing number of my patients have experienced eye irritation associated with some of the products or treatments they use around their eyes,” said Jennifer Tsai, O.D., and founder, LINE OF SIGHT, New York. “LUMIFY EYE ILLUMINATIONS was developed specifically for the sensitive eye area with extensive safety and performance testing. I’ll be recommending this new line of products to help my patients achieve beautiful, healthy-looking eyes.”

LUMIFY EYE ILLUMINATIONS are located in the eye care aisle next to Bausch + Lomb LUMIFY redness reliever eye drops and are also available online at all major national food, drug and mass retailers.
