Norse is such a breath of fresh air. It’s made from sea buckthorn, wild marigold, thistle oil, borage, mixed with beeswax. My son puts a little on at night and walks away. That's the routine. That's all of it. He's been doing it for months, which in teenage boy terms is basically a marriage.
Kristina Kusmic
Author, Speaker & Mom
I've raised more than one kid through teenage acne, and I only wish I'd figured this out sooner. Clean Arctic botanicals, a short routine my kids actually stick to, and skin that finally calmed down. If you're nervous about the prescription route, try this first. It works for us.
Bella Davis
Body Image, Beauty & Modern Womanhood
I've spent years telling women they're worthy exactly as they are, and I still quietly struggled with adult acne well into my twenties. Both can be true. Clean arctic botanicals and a routine short enough that I actually stick to it finally calmed my skin, cleared the redness, and brought my glow back. If you're a grown woman who feels alone in this, try this first. It worked for me.
Dr Francesca LeBlanc

Norse Organics is the gentle option I trust. Arctic botanicals like sea buckthorn and marigold, thistle oil and squalane, in a waterless beeswax base. It calms the redness, protects the barrier, and lets teenage skin rebalance on its own.

Breakouts suck, we don’tBreakouts suck, we don’t
Why arctic ingredients are incredibly powerful
1. MUST SURVIVE HARSH WINTERS
The arctics have winters of -40°F to -58°F (-40°C to -50°C). To survive this and deep snow the plants need to be resilient.
2. VERY SHORT RIPENING WINDOW
The plants need to bloom fast because of short summer. So they push all the nutrition to the leaves at the same time.
3. COMPETES WITH OTHER SPECIES
When plants grow in the wild they need to fight off other plants and insects in a diverse environment. Making them strong.
4. INSTANT CALM FOR RED, ANGRY SKIN
The world's most powerful plants like Sea Buckthorn (190 bioactive compounds), Rosehip & Arnica calm and soothe stressed skin. You can see a difference in days.
5. LONG-TERM SKIN BARRIER SUPPORT
Marigold, Beeswax & Thistle support your natural skin barrier and help balance oil production.
HOW TO USE

USED BY WOMEN & MEN, TEENS & ADULTS
So easy even teens love it
BALMS - EVERY MORNING & NIGHT
Use the Day Balm for Acne-Prone Skin every morning, and the Night Balm for Acne-Prone Skin every night before bed. The industry standard is to put 70% water in their products.
We have 0% water. You only need a small amount of balm.
SCRUB - 3 TIMES PER WEEK
It's powder - keep the jar level. Don't add water to the jar. Don't grab powder with wet hands. Use it 2-3 times per week in the shower. Before entering the shower, add 3 pinches of powder to your palm with dry hands. Then mix it with water in your palm and scrub your face.
OTHER PRODUCTS
Don't use any other products. No face washes, no cleansers. Most people overwash their skin, and the skin responds to the following dryness with an overproduction of oils. This clogs the pores and causes more blemishes and bad skin. If you shower daily, that's enough. And use the scrub three times per week in the shower.
The Science
Pubmed has over 700,000+ studies about our ingredients. They have also been used in traditional medicine for 1000s of years. Some results from 3rd-party studies (read more studies here)

Why trust us when you tried everything and everyone lied?
We know you have tried everything, and everyone claims they can help you. But nothing works. Maybe you've tried benzo, doxy, Rx, OTC creams, retinols, antibiotics and Azelaic Acid. Combine that with exhausting diet changes and hefty sheet changing, and it's no wonder you are sick of it. Sick of all the lies from companies that claim they can help you...
Norse is unlike anything you have ever seen or felt. Look at the products. Pure plant extract and arctic beeswax mixed together purely to take care of acne-prone skin once and for all. No cheap fillers or BS. Look at our reviews. No brands have reviews like us. We have helped 757,390+ REAL people.
I know you still have your doubts, even considering all of this. You have been lied to SO many times. That's why we offer the 100% money back guarantee on top of all this. Just send us an email if you're not happy and we will refund you immediately. Now it's up to you to take the leap of faith, and maybe you will send us a DM like hundreds before you in a couple of weeks: "I can't believe I didn't start sooner". Please take a before-and-after photo. Nothing makes us happier than seeing another set of before-and-afters.
I wasn’t sure if this would work but I’ve been using it for 2 weeks and I’ve seen a big improvement in my skin and way less new breakouts. I’ll definitely be repurchasing! It’s replaced like 3 daytime products I used to use so it’s worth the cost.
I had terrible acne all over my forehead, cheeks, and chin on and off my entire life. This is the first review I’ve ever left because of how well it worked. I used this in combination with the Redness Killer. I got rid of my lotion, vitamin c serum, spf. I only use panoxyl and this no.
I’ve used some things that work but usually if it clears one area, another starts. Every brand of lotion, salicylic acid, snail serum, etc. I’ve tried.
Within not even a week I could tell I finally found the right product. I’m only two weeks in and almost all my acne is gone. Truly life changing and much cheaper than a derm.
A friend recommended this product. My face is hooked. It’s the one routine I actually remember bc the results are almost immediate. In a world of instant gratification, this product is it! 10 out of 10 recommend!
Not sure. Waitinga dj watching for skin recovery.
Teen ager seema
To have more breakouts using it but maybe thats the transition frim hatsh siaps to gentle products
First of all I would say this product is not meant to be used in the summers. Leaves oily and yellowish tint on the face and actually promotes more acne on the face. I stopped using that for a day and my pimples stopped generating. Threw this away in the garbage. Never again dont waste the money on so called natural product!
I normally don't break out too much unless it's hormonal, but this last couple of months I have been getting horrible cystic acne. I also have psoriasis, so when I do break out it takes 3 times longer to clear up because that will cover my face due to the inflammation of the acne. I have been using it about a month. I found the face scrub does not do much for me besides dry my skin out from over exfoliation. I think using it once every two weeks for me to "exfoliate" is good and then using a sensitive skin face wash with salicylic acid for daily washes does better in the long run. I do use the day and night pimple stopper balm with the pimple scar balm together on my face morning and at night. I do not have scars on my face but with the psoriasis it helps calm the redness in my skin and keeps the flare ups from happening. I have fair pale skin so any redness shows up quickly.
As for the cystic pimples!!!! these normally happen for a long duration of time. sometimes they pop up overnight and sometimes you can feel them before they surface for weeks and then takes a month or two before they go away. With just these 3 balms when I get a HUGE cystic pimple most of the time by the next morning it's gone, or the redness is calm to nearly my pale fair skin color with slight pink. I currently have had a cystic pimple on my right cheek that I always get before my time of the month and within two days its flat, redness gone! you can still fill the remaining pimple under the skin but it doesn't hurt, you can't even tell I have a pimple. I wish I had taken a photo the other night as my cheek was so swollen from when it raised, I took a shower washed my face once put all three balms on my face mixed together and by morning I couldn't believe my face looked normal and the GIANT red swollen cheek was just a pink dot. I work in the Corporate world and visit stores when out in the field so having any pimples on my fair pale skin makes you feel like everyone is just staring at those and not the information you are teaching them. I'm 36 and my two older sons are just hitting puberty and getting small pimples all over their noses.. This could be the reason I'm breaking out so much now because as a woman we pick up hormonal changes around those you live with. I will be having them try the balms once I can get them to start regularly washing their faces outside of a shower. 11yr boys are stubborn but they have seen the changes in my skin and say I look more awake and rested. Could just be my skin is calm for the first time in years with skin issues from the psoriasis and hormonal acne.
Thank you for bring back the basics of natural medicine care, as a Native American this is truly what my people have thrived off of but over time is lost in modern medicine.
This has changed my life! It has calmed my acne down so much while going through perimenopause. A little bit goes a long way. I am very happy with my products! Thank you so much Norse Organics. You are a life saver!
This stuff actually works. I keep it with me at all times.
I know it seems weird to put a thick salve on your face but it works.
It smells nice and natural not like fragrance.
Maybe just not for me. Been using for 2 weeks exactly per instructions and my face started looking very dull. I am 51 years old and maybe this is for younger people but the product does say “daily glow and moisturize” so not sure.
Discolored and smelled horrible compared to the last time I ordered it. Comsistency was too thick and beeswaxy to use. Customer service wouldn’t replace it.

CAN WOMEN USE THIS?
Absolutely. Our Arctic plant formula is made for acne-prone skin, and it suits everyone. Thousands of women (and teens) use Norse daily because nature works on human skin, period.
CAN TEENS USE THIS?
Yes, it is a gentle choice for them. Teens are already dealing with major hormonal changes during puberty. The last thing they need is skincare filled with synthetic ingredients. Norse is 100% natural, making it a sensible choice for younger skin.
Does it work on body acne?
Yes. You can use it on back, chest, and shoulders too. Because it is natural and gentle, you can apply it anywhere you get breakouts, to calm and soothe the skin.
What results can I expect?
Results may vary for each individual. However, 97% of our customers are satisfied with the product. 93% said it was the best product they ever tried.
Some people notice a difference after one night. After 8-12 hours.
Skin looks calmer
Skin feels more comfortable
Fewer new breakouts
Not everyone gets instant results. For some individuals, it may take 30-60 days.
What type of skin does it work on?
Every type. Our formula was engineered for the harsh extremes of Norway (from -30°C to +30°C). Because it is built to protect against that, it works effectively for everyone. It is suitable for oily, dry, sensitive, and combination skin, and works perfectly on all skin tones and facial hair styles.
Washing face/cleanser
We generally recommend skipping them. Most people overwash their faces. Harsh cleansers strip away natural moisture, forcing the skin to panic and overproduce oil to fix the dryness. This excess oil clogs pores and actually causes more breakouts. The Logic: Water from your regular shower is enough for daily rinsing. Use the Norse Scrub 3 times a week for a deep, safe clean that doesn't strip your barrier.
MAKE-UP
We recommend minimizing it. Heavy makeup can clog pores and slow your progress. It is best to give your skin a break so it can breathe and recover. How to remove it: Please avoid harsh cleansers, as they strip the skin. Instead, use the Day Balm for Acne-Prone Skin or even simple extra virgin olive oil. These gently dissolve makeup without damaging your skin barrier.
The balm leans on cold-pressed plants that each do a job.
Thistle oil for acne
is a standout. It calms and hydrates while squalane, sea buckthorn, and marigold calm redness and soothe the skin. Beeswax forms a light, breathable barrier, and vitamin E with rosehip help soften the look of marks. Together, they help keep pores clear.
How do I use it for the best results?
Apply a thin layer to clean skin every morning, using just a
small amount
since the formula is concentrated. Think of it as your full skin care routine in a single step:
Dab a little extra on stubborn spots 3 to 4 times daily.
Skip extra face washes and cleansers, since stripping excess oil only pushes oil production higher.
Let your daily shower rinse away dirt.
What is Day Balm for Acne-Prone Skin and what's the difference with Day Balm?
Day Balm for Acne-Prone Skin is the evening half of the routine. It carries calming plants like borage, lavender, and carrot to repair and soothe your skin while you sleep. The Day Balm is your morning step, calming skin and giving a fresh, glowing finish. Used together, they work as a simple morning and night pair.
Day Balm:
calms skin and adds a fresh glow every morning.
Night Balm:
soothes and nourishes your skin overnight.
Scrub for Acne Prone Skin:
removes excess oil and impurities 2 to 3 times a week.
Will the Day Balm cause purging or side effects?
The Day Balm is mild and made from natural oils, just like the Night Balm, so most people skip the rough purge that comes with strong acne products. A few notice slight skin irritation in the first few days as skin adjusts, and these effects usually settle fast. If you have sensitive skin, start with a small amount once a day. Stop and contact us if any irritation sticks around.
Can I use it with prescription products?
Norse Organics balms are gentle, with no harsh chemicals. If you're on medication for a more severe condition, though, it's best to
check with your dermatologist
before you start or switch, since they know your skin best.
For hormonal or cystic acne, doctors sometimes prescribe oral contraceptives or spironolactone, so ask whether the balm is suitable alongside your plan. The balm is made to work on its own rather than alongside drying creams, and any change to a prescribed treatment should go through your doctor first.
Do I need to cycle it or take breaks?
No. The balm is gentle enough for daily use, so there's no need to cycle it on and off the way you might with stronger actives. It's non-comedogenic, so it won't clog pores even though it's oil-based. Steady, daily use keeps acne-prone skin calm and brings the best and fastest results.
How is a balm different from a cream?
A balm uses plant oils to calm the skin without the dryness. Because it replaces those creams, you can stop using them, rather than adding the balm on top of them. Our
natural acne skincare
range covers the rest.
What else helps prevent breakouts?
A few simple skincare habits support clear skin alongside the balm. An
anti-inflammatory diet for acne
can help prevent breakouts, so cut back on high-glycemic foods and dairy. Washing your pillowcases and towels often keeps bacteria off your skin.
Regular hair washing helps too, since oily hair can trigger acne along your forehead, and going easy on makeup keeps pores clear. Pair these with the balm for steadier results.
Do Norse Organics actually work for acne-prone skin?
Many users notice calmer redness and less oil within the first week. It suits every skin type, from oily to dry, sensitive, and combination, and works on everything from mild breakouts to moderate acne and blackheads.
How fast will my order arrive?
Most US orders arrive in 2 to 5 days, and other regions ship from local warehouses to keep it quick. Every order from our store ships free once you pass the threshold shown at the top of the site. You're also covered by a
60-day money-back guarantee
, so you can try the balm with zero risk.
"If we don't help you, we don't want your money!"
Chemicals failed me. Nature saved my skin. "I spent years battling acne with harsh prescriptions that only burned my skin and crushed my confidence. Refusing to give up, I searched for a better way. That journey led me to discover the power of wild Arctic plants. I decided to build Norse Organics to share that discovery. A solution that is finally safe and effective. I want that same freedom for your child. We are so confident this works that if you don't see results in 60 days, I will refund every penny. No questions asked."
