What's in the JAR?
The Blemish Scars Smoothing Balm 2.0 is made for what acne leaves behind: dark marks, red spots and rough texture. One balm with one job, helping your skin look even again.
1 x Blemish Scars Smoothing Balm 2.0 30 ml
Softens the look of post-acne marks and uneven tone while calming the redness around them.
One jar lasts about 40 days. Want the full routine? It also comes in The Complete System for Acne-Prone Skin 2.0, the exact routine from our clinical study, with the Day Balm, Blemish Scars Balm and Scrub
Who is it for?
The Blemish Scars Smoothing Balm 2.0 is for anyone whose breakouts are gone but the marks aren't:
Teens, young adults, and grown adults left with marks after acne.
It works best on flat marks: dark spots, red or purple marks and rough patches. Deep pitted scars (ice pick, boxcar, rolling) sit below the surface, and a topical balm won't fill those in. Still getting the odd breakout? No problem. It's gentle on breakout-prone skin too.
No fragrance. No harsh sulfates. Just potent Arctic botanicals that calm irritated, acne-prone skin fast. Nothing that will bleach your towels.
Blemish Scars Smoothing Balm 2.0
TAMANU SEED OILROSEHIP EXTRACT
Led by Tamanu Oil and Rosehip, two oils people have used on marks for generations. They soften the look of marks and help even out your tone, with Vitamin C for brightness and Chamomile and St. John's Wort to calm redness. Gentle enough for sensitive skin.
Week 1: skin feels softer and redness around marks starts to calm.
Week 2 to 3: dark and red marks start looking lighter.
By 30 to 60 days: smoother texture and a more even tone for most users.
As part of our 4-step routine, a dermatologist graded 73% as having more even-looking skin and 73% as smoother by day 60.*
*60-day clinical study by Citruslabs of 35 adults (18–45) using the full 4-step routine. Self-reported unless marked dermatologist-graded. Individual results vary.
Marks take longer than breakouts. Softer skin can show up after the first night, and the look of marks softens week by week. Give it the full 60 days. See real customer results →
Smoother skin in 60 days or money back
Why 60 days? Because that's how long our clinical study ran. By day 60, a dermatologist graded 73% of participants as having visibly smoother, more even skin.* Some people see a difference overnight, most within a few weeks. Give it the full 60 days. Not happy? You get your money back.

I've been a "beauty girl" since I was 19. I've tried, gifted, reviewed, and silently rejected more skincare than most humans see in a lifetime. So when I tell you something works on a teenager please know I’m not saying it lightly!

You rub a little on at night and wake up calmer. Two weeks in my redness was gone. Three months in my skin looked clear and sharp. I’m obsessed with these balms!

As a mom of seven, I only recommend things I actually trust with my own kids. If yours is struggling with acne or you're nervous about the prescription route, try this first. It works for us.
Melissa Joan Hart

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
Doctor of Natural Medicine
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 758,162+ 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.

Overall rating: 4.3 / 5 from 36 reviews.
Love this balm , deels so wonderful on the skin and healing
I’ve been using this product for a while, but unfortunately I experienced several negative side effects. It made my skin very dry and flaky, and I also noticed that my face became noticeably darker. In addition, it left dark marks on my cheeks and cheekbones that are quite visible. Because of these issues, I stopped using the product. I was disappointed with my experience and hope this feedback helps improve the product or assists others in making an informed decision.
I watched Norse Organics videos and read reviews and went to the actual website to look them up to see if they were a ligit company. They are ligit but i have not seen any change in my daughter's skin. I was told it could take up to 60 days. She has done the regiment religiously for a whole month and still waking up with new break outs. The pinmple scars balm has not made any improvement either. I gave it 2 Stars in hopes that in another month or so we will see improvement.
been consistent with this stuff for almost exactly a month, haven't seen any difference in my scars. pretty disappointed. 2 stars since i think it'll last a while and it feels pretty good on my skin.
Norse acne healer is a good moisturizer, haven’t noticed any reduced scarring on my face. It is a little bit greasy. I would say it’s a little overpriced.
Love this stuff ! My skin has never been so clear . Ive been using this religiously for a little over a year now ! This is the only stuff i will put on my face ! It really works !
Really potent, no idea why this works so dramatically better than other premium salves I have tried. But it does what it says, and a little really does go a long way.

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.
Blemish Scars Smoothing Balm 2.0 is our top choice for acne scars.
It helps soften post-acne marks, uneven skin tone, and rough texture using cold-pressed botanicals like Tamanu, rosehip, and Vitamin C.
It works without the dryness or irritation that harsh chemicals can cause. See the kind of results people get in our
verified customer reviews
.
What types of acne scars and marks does it help with?
It works best on post-acne marks and surface scarring, the brown or red spots and rough patches left once a breakout heals. These respond well to steady topical care.
Skin scars come in a few types, and about 80% to 90% of acne scars are atrophic, the sunken or depressed scars that sit below the surface. These include rolling scars, which have a wave-like appearance, boxcar scars, and ice pick scars, the hardest type to treat. Raised keloid scars are the opposite, caused by too much collagen formation.
This balm targets discoloration and uneven skin texture more than pitted scars. Check the full
acne scar treatments
range for your skin type.
How do I remove my pimple scar?
Fading a pimple scar comes down to steady, daily care. Apply a thin layer of Blemish Scars Smoothing Balm 2.0 to clean skin and let the botanicals work.
Here is the simple routine:
Morning: smooth a small amount over the marks.
Mid-day: reapply on tougher spots if needed.
Night: apply again before bed so it works while you sleep.
Give it a few weeks of daily use, since fading marks takes time. Simple, steady home skin care like this is what helps improve skin texture and tone. For more detail, see our
skincare routine for acne scars
.
Which ingredients fade scars, and how do they compare to actives like salicylic acid and retinoids?
Norse Organics balm's
active ingredients
are cold-pressed botanicals chosen to smooth the look of marks. Tamanu and St. John's Wort soothe marked skin, while Vitamin C and Vitamin E help fade dark spots, reduce hyperpigmentation, and support collagen production. Chamomile and marigold calm redness and brighten dull skin.
Common actives can fade marks too. Salicylic acid lightens dark spots and evens skin tone, retinoids and retinol are effective for acne scarring, and options like adapalene, azelaic acid, glycolic acid, tranexamic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin C serums each target marks in their own way.
The catch is that many of these actives bring dryness, peeling, or sun sensitivity. These botanicals work with your skin barrier instead of stripping it, and steady hydration helps keep marks from looking thick or discoloured while supporting collagen. You get repair without the sting.
How do the balms and scrub work together for acne scars?
Each Norse product handles its own job, and together they support acne-prone skin and soften what breakouts leave behind. Blemish Scars Smoothing Balm 2.0 focuses on the marks and scars.
The full routine pairs it with:
A day balm to protect and calm your skin in the morning.
A night balm to repair while you sleep.
A scrub, used 2 to 3 times a week, to lift dead skin cells and unclog pores.
Used together daily, they also help prevent future breakouts. You can get the day balm, night balm, and scrub together as the
Kill Acne & Redness Ritual
.
Is it gentle for sensitive skin and teens?
It is made to be gentle, so most people do not get the purging or breakouts that stronger actives can trigger. The formula has no water, fillers, parabens, or synthetic fragrance. That makes it a calm choice for oily skin, dry skin, sensitive skin, and teens. As with any new product, do a small patch test first if your skin reacts easily.
Can I use it with acne medication or other treatments?
We recommend sticking with your Norse routine and skipping other products.
This balm is made to work on its own, so there is no need to layer other creams, serums, a brightening serum, or a separate moisturizer with it.
Fewer products give your skin a better chance to calm down and respond. If you take prescription acne medication like a retinoid, an antibiotic, or use benzoyl peroxide, your doctor can give further guidance before you change anything.
Do I need to skin cycle or rotate it with other products?
No. Skin cycling means rotating different actives with rest days, but you do not need that here. This acne scar treatment product is your full routine, so you use it every day with nothing to cycle in or out. It stays gentle enough for daily, long-term use.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Your purchase is fully covered, so trying it carries no risk. If you use it and do not see results, reach out and you get a full refund, no questions asked. Read the full
60-day money-back guarantee

"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."
