         Revlon Announces Subscription Price and Offering Terms for its
                          $110 Million Rights Offering

Amends Bank Credit Agreement, Investment Agreement and Line of Credit

     NEW YORK--Feb. 17, 2006--Revlon, Inc. (NYSE: REV) today announced, in
conjunction with its previously-announced $110 million rights offering, the
subscription price and the number of subscription rights needed to purchase one
share of Revlon, Inc. Class A common stock.

     Pursuant to the rights offering, Revlon will distribute, at no charge, one
transferable subscription right for each share of Class A common stock and Class
B common stock held by each stockholder of record as of 5:00 p.m. New York City
time, on February 13, 2006 (the "Record Date"). Each subscription right will
enable rights holders to purchase 0.1057 of a share of Revlon's Class A common
stock. As fractional shares of Class A common stock will not be issued, in order
to acquire one share of Revlon's Class A common stock in the rights offering, a
rights holder will need to hold ten rights. The subscription price for each
share of Class A common stock is $2.80 per share.

     In addition, the subscription rights include an over-subscription privilege
pursuant to which each rights holder that exercises its basic subscription
privilege in full (as described in the prospectus supplement being mailed on or
about February 17, 2006 to stockholders of record as of the Record Date) may
also subscribe for additional shares at the same subscription price of $2.80 per
share, to the extent that other rights holders (other than MacAndrews & Forbes
Holdings, Inc. and its affiliates) ("M&F") do not exercise their subscription
rights in full. If a sufficient number of shares are not available to fully
satisfy the over-subscription privilege requests, the available shares will be
sold pro-rata among subscription rights holders who exercised their
over-subscription privilege, based on the number of shares each subscription
rights holder subscribed for under the basic subscription privilege.

     The proceeds from the rights offering are expected to be used, together
with available cash, to redeem approximately $110 million aggregate principal
amount of the 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 of Revlon Consumer
Products Corporation ("RCPC"), Revlon's wholly-owned operating subsidiary, in
satisfaction of the applicable requirements under RCPC's bank credit agreement.

     While Revlon cannot provide assurances that a trading market will develop,
the subscription rights are expected to trade on the NYSE beginning February 22,
2006 under the symbol "REV RT".

     M&F, Revlon's majority stockholder, which is wholly-owned by Ronald O.
Perelman, has agreed not to exercise its basic subscription privilege. Instead,
pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement between M&F and Revlon, M&F has agreed to
purchase, in a private placement directly from Revlon, the shares of the Class A
common stock that it would otherwise have been entitled to subscribe for
pursuant to its basic subscription privilege in the rights offering (equal to
approximately 60% of the shares available for purchase under the subscription
rights distributed in the rights offering, or approximately $66 million). M&F
has also agreed not to exercise its over-subscription privilege in the rights
offering, which will maximize the shares available for purchase by other
stockholders pursuant to their over-subscription privileges. However, if any
shares remain following the exercise of the basic subscription privilege and the
over-subscription privilege by other rights holders, M&F will back-stop the
rights offering by purchasing, also in a private placement directly from Revlon,
the remaining shares of Class A common stock offered but not purchased by other
rights holders. As a result of this back-stop, Revlon is assured of raising $110
million in gross proceeds, through a combination of the rights offering and the
sale of

                                     Page 1


shares in the private placement including, if necessary, the back-stop, to M&F.

     The rights offering materials, including a prospectus supplement and the
subscription rights certificates, are being mailed on or about February 17, 2006
to stockholders of record as of the Record Date. The prospectus supplement will
contain important information about the rights offering. Stockholders are urged
to read the prospectus supplement when it becomes available. Rights holders will
have until the expiration date of the rights offering to exercise their
subscription rights. The expiration date of the rights offering will be on March
20, 2006, unless extended by Revlon.

     The Company also announced that RCPC had completed the amendment to its
bank credit agreement, dated July 9, 2004 (the "Credit Agreement"), which will
enable RCPC to exclude, from various financial covenants under the Credit
Agreement, certain charges in connection with its previously-announced
organizational realignment, as well as some start-up investment charges incurred
by Revlon in 2005 related to the launch of its new Vital Radiance brand and the
re-launch of Almay.

     Revlon also announced that, pursuant to its intention to conduct a further
$75 million underwritten public offering of its Class A common stock by June 30,
2006, it entered into an amendment to its Investment Agreement with M&F. The
amendment extends M&F's back-stop of a further $75 million equity issuance from
March 31, 2006 until June 30, 2006 to, among other things, provide Revlon with
sufficient time to complete, following the rights offering, an underwritten
public offering, the proceeds of which would be transferred by Revlon to RCPC to
be available for general corporate purposes.

     Lastly, Revlon also announced that RCPC had entered into an amendment to
its $87 million 2004 Senior Unsecured Line of Credit from M&F extending the term
of such line of credit until the consummation of the $75 million equity
issuance.
