So What Is In The JAR?

A single balm replaces the whole shelf. This 6-in-1 daily moisturizer lifts a natural glow while holding shine and visible breakouts down, morning through night.

1 x Day Balm for Acne-Prone Skin 30 ml

1 x Day Balm for Acne-Prone Skin 30 ml

Shine held down all day long. Skin stays matte, settled and even from the morning routine through to the evening one.

A jar runs roughly 40 days. Prefer the whole routine? The Night Balm and Scrub come together with it inside The Complete System for Acne-Prone Skin.

Who should use it?

Anyone after clear, glowing skin who has no interest in a 10-step routine should reach for the Day Balm for Acne-Prone Skin:

Teenagers, people in their twenties, and older adults who still break out.

Oily by midday, breaking out when you're stressed, or simply looking worn out? This is the moisturizer for every day. It suits oily, dry, sensitive and combination skin, any skin tone, and it goes on your back, chest and shoulders as well. Look at actual customer results →

Ingredients we use

Fragrance-free. No aggressive sulfates. Only strong Arctic botanicals that settle irritated, breakout-prone skin quickly. Nothing here will bleach a towel.

Day Balm for Acne-Prone Skin

Sea buckthorn oilThistle oil

Sea Buckthorn Oil heads the formula, naturally carrying omega fatty acids and antioxidants³ along with vitamins C and E, and Thistle Oil joins it. The texture is light, shine stays down, and it treats sensitive skin or skin under sweat stress kindly.

Full list: Thistle Oil, Beeswax, Sea Buckthorn Oil, Pomegranate Oil, Squalane Oil, Rosehip Oil, Argan Oil, Arnica Oil, Rosemary, Sea Buckthorn Extract, Marigold Leaves Extract, Natural Vitamin E, Frankincense Oil, Eucalyptus Oil.

How is it used?

Two steps. Morning, then night.

Every Morning

Spread a thin layer over skin you have just cleaned. There is no water padding it out, so very little covers the whole face.

Stubborn Spots

Press a small amount onto stubborn spots, 3 to 4 times a day at most.

Nothing else is needed. No cleanser, no face wash, no added step.

See just how simple the whole routine is →

What should I expect to see?

Day 1

64% report better hydration*

Day 3

73% report smoother skin*

Day 60

73% see more even tone*

  • Day 1: 64% already felt the extra hydration in their skin.
  • Day 3: 73% reported a smoother feel.
  • Day 60: 73% were graded visibly smoother and more even by a dermatologist, and 77% said they would carry on.*

*A 60-day clinical study run by Citruslabs on 35 adults (18–45) following the complete 4-step routine. Figures are self-reported except where marked dermatologist-graded. Results differ between individuals. Read the whole study →

For some it shows up overnight, with calmer, less shiny skin waiting in the morning. Others need a few weeks. Skin that shifts with your cycle deserves a whole cycle to judge. Care to find out yourself? Look at actual customer results →

Clearer skin in 60 days or money back

Why 60 days? That's exactly how long the clinical study ran. At day 60 a dermatologist scored 73% of participants with visibly smoother, more even skin.* A few notice it overnight, most inside a couple of weeks. Give it the full 60 days. If it has not worked, your money comes back.

    Since turning 19 I have lived in the "beauty girl" world. I've purchased, handed out, written about and quietly binned more products than most people encounter in a whole lifetime. So understand that calling something effective on teenage skin is not a light claim from me. I'm serious!

  • Abigail Spencer

    Actress, Producer & Best-Selling Author

    Simple formulas, a routine that takes seconds, nothing harsh in it, and that matters a lot when I'm handing it to a teenager. Norse Organics ticks every one of those boxes and delivers, which is rarer than it should be.

  • Meredith Masony

    Norse Organics is the jar that stays out on your counter. Botanicals from the Arctic. Honest ingredients that settle breakouts rather than parching your face. Clean, unrefined, loaded with antioxidants out of the frozen North. It delivers. They won't say so out loud. But it does.

  • Chase De Moor

    A small dab before bed and you wake up less irritated. By the second week the redness had vanished. By the third month my face looked sharp and clear. These balms have me hooked!

  • Jordan Doww

    It is now the first thing I reach for when I break out. On it goes at bedtime, and by morning my face genuinely looks clearer. Hooked on these tiny balms!!

  • Melissa Joan Hart

    Norse has been a genuine relief. The jar holds sea buckthorn, wild marigold, thistle oil and borage, blended into beeswax. My son dabs some on before bed and walks off. That's the routine. That's all there is. He's kept it up for months, which for a teenage boy counts as a lifelong commitment.

  • Kristina Kusmic

    Kristina Kusmic

    Author, Speaker & Mom

    More than one of my kids went through teenage acne, and my only regret is not finding this earlier. Pure Arctic botanicals, a routine quick enough that they don't skip it, and skin that settled at last. Nervous about going the prescription way? Start here. It's worked for us, and I'd say so to anyone.

  • Dr Francesca LeBlanc

    Dr Francesca LeBlanc

    Doctor of Natural Medicine

    Norse Organics is the mild choice I am comfortable recommending. Arctic botanicals such as sea buckthorn and marigold, thistle oil and squalane, carried in a beeswax base with no water. It eases redness, shields the barrier, and gives teenage skin room to find its own balance.

  • Morgan Stup

    Morgan Stup

    Holistic Health Creator

    Years of prescriptions left my skin and my hormones feeling poisoned, so I went looking for something natural that would actually hold up. Arctic plants managed what nothing before them had. If you're wary of the prescription path, begin here instead.

Why arctic ingredients carry this much power

1. BUILT TO ENDURE BRUTAL WINTERS

Arctic winters sit at -40°F to -58°F (-40°C to -50°C). Resilience is what plants need to come through that and the deep snow.

2. A RIPENING WINDOW THAT IS TINY

A short summer forces a quick bloom. All the nutrition heads for the leaves simultaneously.

3. FIGHTS RIVAL SPECIES

Growing wild means fighting off rival plants and insects in a crowded environment. That is where the strength comes from.

4. FAST RELIEF FOR RED, ANGRY SKIN

No plants on earth are stronger than Sea Buckthorn (190 bioactive compounds), Rosehip & Arnica, and they settle and comfort skin under stress. The difference shows within days.

5. BARRIER SUPPORT THAT LASTS

The natural skin barrier gets backing from Marigold, Beeswax & Thistle, which also help level oil production out.

FOR WOMEN & MEN, TEENS & ADULTS

simple enough that teens stick with it

BALMS - MORNING & BEDTIME, DAILY

Morning: Day Balm for Acne-Prone Skin. Night, before bed: Night Balm for Acne-Prone Skin. Industry standard puts 70% water in the jar.

0% water here. A small amount of balm is all it takes.

SCRUB - 3 SESSIONS A WEEK

This is a powder, so keep the jar upright. No water goes in the jar. No wet hands reach into it either. Use it 2-3 times a week while showering. Before you step in, tip 3 pinches into a dry palm. Then work in a little water right there in your hand and scrub your face.

OTHER PRODUCTS

Nothing else goes on. No face wash, no cleanser. Most people wash too much, and skin answers the dryness that follows by overproducing oil. Pores block, and more blemishes and worse skin follow. A daily shower is sufficient. The scrub goes in three times a week while you shower.

The Science

Our ingredients appear in more than 700,000+ papers indexed on Pubmed, and healers have reached for them across 1000s of years. Findings below come from 3rd-party work (more studies here)

Latest Facebook Reviews

Product review from Nicole Wallis about a skincare product for her children.

You have tried it all and been lied to, so why believe us?

You have been through the lot, and every brand swears it has the answer. None of it holds. Perhaps your list includes benzo, doxy, Rx, OTC creams, retinols, antibiotics and Azelaic Acid. Add draining diet overhauls and endless laundry on top, and of course you have had enough. Enough of companies lying about what they can do for you...

Norse does not compare to anything you have handled before. Take a look at what is in the jar. Plant extract and arctic beeswax, nothing else, put together for skin that breaks out. No filler, no nonsense. Read the reviews. No other brand has a wall like this. We have supported 763,099+ REAL people.

Doubts are probably still there despite all of it. You have been misled SO often. Which is why there is the 100% money back guarantee on top of everything else. Email us if it is not working for you and the refund goes out right away. The decision is yours now, and in a few weeks you might be the next one dropping us a DM, like the hundreds who already have: "Wish I had started this ages ago". A photo from before and one from after, please. Nothing cheers us up like one more pair of those.

  • Taxes and fees Everything is paid except for Switzerland and Norway. You may be subjected to customs here because we ship from the EU and not from within the country.

IS THIS FOR WOMEN TOO?

Absolutely. Acne-prone skin is what our Arctic plant formula was built for, and it works for anybody. Thousands of women (and teens) reach for Norse every day, because nature acts on human skin, period.

IS IT OK FOR TEENS?

Yes, and a mild one at that. Puberty already puts teenagers through serious hormonal upheaval. Skincare packed with synthetic ingredients is the last thing on the list. Norse is 100% natural, which makes it a sound pick for younger skin.

What about acne on the body?

Yes. Back, chest and shoulders are fine as well. Being natural and mild, it goes anywhere breakouts turn up, to settle and comfort the skin.

What should I expect to see?

Outcomes differ from person to person. That said, 97% of our buyers come away satisfied with it. 93% called it the best product they had ever tried.

For some the change lands overnight, in 8-12 hours.

  • Skin looks calmer
  • Skin feels more comfortable
  • Fewer new breakouts

It is not instant for everybody; 30-60 days is the span for some.

Which skin types does it suit?

Every type. Norway's harsh extremes are what the formula was engineered against (-30°C up to +30°C). Built to hold up there, it performs for anyone. It suits oily, dry, sensitive, and combination skin, and it performs on every skin tone and any facial hair style.

Washing face/cleanser

Our advice is usually to leave them out. Faces get washed far too often. Strip the natural moisture with a harsh cleanser and the skin panics, pumping out extra oil to cover the dryness. That surplus oil blocks pores and is what actually causes more breakouts.
The Logic: A normal shower gives you all the daily rinsing you need. Use the Norse Scrub 3 times weekly for a deep clean that is safe and leaves your barrier intact.

MAKE-UP

Our advice is to keep it to a minimum. Pores block under heavy makeup and progress slows. Giving the skin a rest lets it breathe and recover. How to remove it: Steer clear of harsh cleansers, which strip the skin. Reach instead for the Day Balm for Acne-Prone Skin or even plain extra virgin olive oil. Both dissolve makeup gently and leave your skin barrier alone.

What goes into the balm?

Cold-pressed plants carry the balm, and each one has a role. Thistle oil for acne is the one that stands out. It settles and hydrates, while squalane, sea buckthorn and marigold take redness down and comfort the skin. Beeswax lays a light barrier that still breathes, and vitamin E with rosehip ease how marks look. Between them, pores stay clear.

What gets the best results out of it?

Each morning, a thin layer over clean skin, and only a small amount because the formula is concentrated. Treat it as the whole skin care routine compressed into one step:

  • Stubborn spots take a touch more, 3 to 4 times a day.
  • Leave out the extra face washes and cleansers: strip the oil away and the skin simply makes more.
  • The daily shower can rinse the dirt off.

There's a Day Balm for Acne-Prone Skin and a plain Day Balm: which is which?

The evening half of the routine is Day Balm for Acne-Prone Skin. Borage, lavender and carrot sit inside it, settling and repairing skin overnight. Morning belongs to The Day Balm, which calms and leaves a fresh, glowing finish. Run them together and you have a simple two-part day.

What is in the complete routine?

Any one product is outdone by the set. The Complete System For Acne-Prone Skin brings three parts together into one simple routine:

  • Day Balm: settles skin and lays on a fresh glow each morning.
  • Night Balm: comforts and feeds the skin through the night.
  • Scrub for Acne Prone Skin: clears surplus oil and grime 2 to 3 times weekly.

Does The Day Balm purge, or bring side effects?

Natural oils and a mild formula are what The Day Balm is, the Night Balm as well, so the rough purge that strong acne products bring usually never happens. Some people get mild irritation over the first days while skin adjusts, and it tends to pass quickly. Sensitive skin? Begin with a small amount, once daily. If irritation hangs on, stop and get in touch.

Does it mix with prescription products?

Gentle is what Norse Organics balms are, with nothing harsh in them. That said, if you're taking medication for something more severe, it's worth a check with your dermatologist before starting or changing anything, because your skin is what they know best.

Oral contraceptives or spironolactone are sometimes prescribed for hormonal or cystic acne, so do ask whether the balm fits beside your plan. It is built to work alone rather than stacked with drying creams, and changing a prescribed treatment is a decision for your doctor.

Should it be cycled, or paused now and then?

No. Daily use is fine, so there's no cycling on and off as you'd do with harsher actives. Being non-comedogenic, it won't block pores despite the oil base. Keep it steady and daily: that's what holds acne-prone skin calm and gets results soonest.

What separates a balm from a cream?

Plant oils are how a balm settles skin and skips the dryness. It stands in for those creams, so they come off the shelf instead of sitting under it. Our natural acne skincare range handles the remainder.

What else keeps breakouts away?

Clear skin gets help from a handful of plain habits next to the balm. An anti-inflammatory diet for acne can hold breakouts back, so ease off high-glycemic foods and dairy. Frequent washing of pillowcases and towels keeps bacteria away from your skin.

Washing your hair often matters as well, because oily hair sets off acne across the forehead, and a light hand with makeup leaves pores open. Put these next to the balm and results hold steadier.

Does Norse Organics really work on acne-prone skin?

Yes. There are also real customer results over in the reviews.

Redness calms and oil drops for a lot of people inside the first week. Every skin type suits it, oily through dry, sensitive, combination, and it handles anything from light breakouts to moderate acne and blackheads.

When does my order get here?

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 trying the balm costs you nothing.

"No help from us means no money from you!"

Chemicals let me down. Nature rescued my skin.
"Years went into fighting acne with harsh prescriptions that only burned my skin and flattened my confidence. I would not give up, so I kept looking for something better. That search is how I found what wild Arctic plants can do, and why I built Norse Organics to share it. Something finally safe and effective. I want your child to have that same freedom. We are confident enough in this that if 60 days brings no results, I will refund every penny. No questions asked."
