In June, French cosmetics giant Lancome cancelled a promotional concert featuring Hong Kong singer Denise Ho in response to her support for the 2014 pro-democracy Occupy Central protests in the territory.

Ho is the first mainstream female singer in Hong Kong to come out of the closet.[11] Since then, she has been involved in the Big Love Alliance (大愛同盟), a civil rights group striving equal rights for the LGBT community.

On 5 June 2016, French cosmetics brand Lancôme cancelled a promotional concert by Denise Ho that was scheduled to be held on 19 June in Sheung Wan. This action was taken in response to a boycott campaign launched by the Communist Party-controlled Global Times, which denigrated her for supposedly supporting Hong Kong and Tibet independence. Lancôme also added, in a Facebook post, that Ho is not a spokesperson for the brand. The Tibet allegation appeared to have stemmed from Ho’s May 2016 meeting with the Dalai Lama. The cancellation drew a heavy backlash in Hong Kong. Some Lancôme shops in Hong Kong were shut down during the protests.

Emma Watson booked her deal with Lancôme in 2011, and the most recent dated ad I found featuring her face was from 2013. Hard to say how old the picture above is, or how aware Watson was of how her image would be used, but there it is selling a skin-lightening product.

L’agence américaine des médicaments (FDA) a mis en garde le groupe français de cosmétiques L’Oréal et sa filiale américaine Lancôme contre des publicités trompeuses sur certains de leurs produits anti-rides, selon une lettre publiée mardi sur son site internet.
La FDA explique que Lancôme, l’un des marques du groupe français, vante les mérites de certaines de ses crèmes en expliquant qu’elles peuvent « relancer l’activité des gènes » ou « stimuler la régénération des cellules ». Tout produit censé affecter la structure ou le fonctionnement du corps humain est classé parmi les médicaments, souligne FDA, selon un document publié sur son site internet.
