O HUI
O HUI is the LG H&H luxury skincare brand most international K-beauty fans haven't discovered yet.

The brand sits roughly between the prestige and ultra-prestige tiers of K-beauty, with The First Geniture Ampoule and Cream as the flagship products and the Prime Advancer line as the daily-routine tier. Korean dermatologists and aestheticians stock O HUI alongside Sulwhasoo and Whoo as the LG H&H luxury triumvirate.
