The History of Whoo

In this article

    If there’s one Korean brand that truly feels luxurious in the most classic sense, it’s The History of Whoo. This isn’t just skincare that looks pretty on a vanity it actually ties back to royal beauty rituals and ancient herbal formulas… but in a way that feels modern, wearable, and relevant now.

    History of Whoo isn’t trying to chase viral trends or “instant 7-day miracle” claims. The whole experience is more grounded and intentional velvety textures, soft herbal notes, and formulas that help skin look stronger, balanced, and lit with that slow-burn radiance.

    We also love how every product feels curated, nothing feels random. The packaging, the sensorial textures, even the way the creams absorb everything feels like it was designed with a certain quiet confidence.

    So, if you’ve ever been curious about luxury hanbang, Whoo is one of those brands that makes the whole category feel approachable and genuinely special.

    Below, we’re looking at four standout formulas that really show what this brand is about the craftsmanship, the heritage, and the way Whoo brings tradition into modern routines.

    The History of Whoo Radiant Brightening Moisture Cushion

    If there’s one product that captures The History of Whoo’s essence of timeless elegance meeting modern performance  it’s this Brightening cushion. The gleaming compact immediately feels regal. Inside, the formula delivers that classic Whoo glow: luminous but never greasy, with a soft, diffused finish that flatters the skin.

    It smooths over fine lines and texture effortlessly, creating that refined, rested look instead of heavy “coverage.” The texture feels weightless almost like skincare disguised as base. This is the cushion you choose when you want to look lit-from-within and quietly polished like you woke up pampered.

    The History of Whoo Peeling Gel

    Peeling gels can be tricky. Too harsh and they strip the skin; too mild and they don’t do much at all. Whoo’s Gongjinhyang Peeling Gel strikes that ideal middle ground. It has a soft, gel-like texture that gently rolls away impurities without the sting or dryness of traditional exfoliants.

    The herbal scent feels grounding, a subtle reminder of its royal herbal roots. After rinsing, skin feels smooth and refreshed but still comfortably hydrated. No tightness, no over-exfoliation. It’s the kind of product you reach for when your skin looks dull and you need an instant refresh without irritation.

    The History of Whoo Essential Nourishing Emulsion

    This emulsion is like the quiet achiever in your skincare routine. Not flashy, but deeply satisfying once you use it. The Essential Nourishing Emulsion glides on silkily and absorbs quickly, leaving the skin dewy and balanced. It layers beautifully with serums or creams, never feeling heavy or sticky.

    What stands out most is how it softens the skin over time that subtle plumpness you only get from consistent hydration and barrier care. It’s a product that embodies Whoo’s philosophy: nurturing the skin’s vitality with luxurious ingredients, but in a way that feels gentle and restorative.

    The History of Whoo Velvet Lip Rouge

    Finally, a touch of color worthy of the Empress theme the Mi Velvet Lip Rouge. The texture is rich yet airy, gliding on like velvet and setting to a soft matte that doesn’t cling to dry patches. The shades lean sophisticated, wearable hues that enhance rather than overpower.

    It’s the kind of lipstick that looks effortlessly polished but never loud. And like the rest of Whoo’s collection, it feels luxurious in every detail, from the gold-accented tube to the subtle herbal undertone in the formula.
