Revlon has the look of a leader in the US mass-market cosmetics business, alongside L'Oréal's Maybelline and Procter & Gamble's Cover Girl. In addition to its Almay and Revlon brand makeup and beauty tools, the company makes Revlon ColorSilk hair color, Mitchum antiperspirants and deodorants, Charlie and Jean Naté fragrances, and Ultima II and Gatineau skincare products. Its beauty aids are distributed in more than 100 countries, though the US is its largest market, generating about 55% of sales. Revlon products are primarily sold by mass merchandisers and drugstores such as CVS, Target, Shoppers Drug Mart, A.S. Watson, Boots, and Wal-Mart (its biggest single customer, accounting for some 22% of sales).
