DR.DIFFERENT 113 Moisturizer

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-27

What is this product?

A 100 ml tube moisturiser from Korean brand DR.DIFFERENT for oily and combination skin, renamed from 113 Moisturizer to 113 Pore Soothing Cream with the brand stating the formula is unchanged. Water and glycerin lead, niacinamide is fourth, and the lipid set of ceramide NP, cholesterol and fatty acids including linoleic acid is paired with light oils such as safflower seed oil; there is no fragrance, essential oil or ethanol entry. A patch test with an irritation index of 0.00 is documented, while its acne-prone suitability badges trace to a test the page elsewhere attributes to a sibling cleanser.

What makes it different?

Within the brand's three-cream lipid line it is the oily-skin version: the same ceramide, cholesterol and fatty acid base as its siblings, with niacinamide and safflower seed oil where both siblings' stored lists carry olive oil, in a light emulsion with no fragrance.

Worth a closer look

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.
