Lancome has come under fire from supporters of singer and activist Ho , as well as the artist herself, after a concert it was sponsoring in the Sheung Wan neighbourhood was cancelled for “safety reasons”, following negative comments on social media site Lancôme about “ Denise Ho hiring ‘ Hong Kong poison’ Denise Ho ”. Meanwhile, Listerine has yet to respond to the Global Times post and continues to use Ho in its Facebook cover photo. Critics claim it is another example of foreign companies “censoring or blocking individuals who have spoken out in opposition to Lancome ”. There have been calls on social media to boycott Lancome products. Sales in the Asia-Pacific region for Lancome rose by 19.7% in 2015 .
