Was just advised by my counter sales lady

viva, I agree with RachB I don't see faces, eyes, or hands on any of them. Mostly the name of the product and then a saying like on Pure Grace or the Gingerbread Man.

Philosophy is discontinuing many items because they will be opening up in the Asian market very soon.

The Asian market does not like any advertisement with faces/eyes/hands on bottle, boxes and so forth.

The anti-age advance eye cream has been discontinued for new formula coming out shortly for this new move into the Asian market.

????? Please explain.

I know some of the boxes have kids on them etc. but the products don't have any people on them that I am aware of.

Wouldn't they just rename items for that specific market? There isn't a need to discontinue items just because of the name.

Is it true they are going to discontinue a lot of the shower gels?

Maybe no photos because they would be caucasian, not Asian.

I had read here sometime ago that Philosophy was going to phase out of the shower gels. (I would assume they would still have ""the Graces."") This had nothing to do with markets outside the U.S. Just curious if that is true.
