Evaluation of the Safety and Tolerability of Lumify Eye Illuminations Cosmetic Products.

Purpose: Cosmetic products applied to the periocular area can cause skin sensitivity reactions, and manufacturers routinely test the safety and tolerability of products in development. This research was sponsored by Bausch + Lomb to evaluate three Lumify Eye Illuminations products: a lash and brow serum, a hydra-gel eye cream, and a micellar water eye makeup remover.

Methods: A cumulative irritation test (CIT) study and a repeated insult patch test (RIPT) study enrolled adult males or females with no known sensitivities to cosmetic products.

Continuous Wave Fractional CO Laser for the Treatment of Upper Eyelid Dermatochalasis and Periorbital Rejuvenation.

Fractional continuous wave CO laser resurfacing is used to improve photodamage, wrinkles, and acne scarring by surface ablation and by using heat to activate natural collagen production and dermal remodeling. In this study, the author examined the efficacy and safety of nonincisional continuous wave fractional CO laser blepharoplasty in the upper lid. Standard lid measurements including marginal reflex distance, palpebral fissure, and upper lid crease were performed preoperatively and at 6 months by the surgeon.
