Norse Organics Acne Killer Review: What We Think!

Acne can be a lot frustrating and downright debilitating.

If you’ve already tried countless products for a more permanent solution but aren’t there yet, here’s one worth a look – Norse Organics Acne Killer. This natural, organic range inspired by the Vikings claims to tackle even the toughest acne cases.

So here, we’ll look at the nitty-gritty of the range and try to figure out whether it lives up to its hype.

Acne & Its Usual Causes

You’re likely familiar with acne types, but let’s break them down:

• Blackheads: open comedones that appear as small black spots on the skin
• Whiteheads: closed comedones that appear as small white bumps on the skin
• Papules: pink, inflamed bumps on the skin
• Pustules: pus-filled bumps on the skin
• Cystic: deep, painful, under-the-skin bumps that never seem to come to a head. A combination of excess oil production, bacteria, and inflammation deep within the pores often cause this.
• Hormonal: pesky hormones trigger this type, often flaring up around your period, during pregnancy, or due to conditions like PCOS. It typically shows up along the jawline and chin.
• Rosacea: a chronic skin condition that causes redness, flushing, and small, pus-filled bumps, often confused with acne. While not technically acne, it’s harder to diagnose and treat differently.

Though you may think acne is solely a skin issue, your daily habits have much to do with it. Your diet, lifestyle, and skincare choices can either help or hamper your skin’s health.

Dairy products, sugar, and processed foods can cause inflammation in your body and lead to acne. Similarly, a lack of sleep, stress, and certain medications can also trigger acne. 

Moreover, if you use harsh skincare products or exfoliate too frequently, that will irritate your skin and worsen acne.

But the good news is, by making conscious tweaks to your daily habits, you can curb acne outbreaks. It starts with a healthy diet and skincare.

A Little about Norse Organics

Daniel Hoftun, founder of Norse Organics, was frustrated with the number of skincare products on the market that are chemical-filled and make big promises they don’t deliver.

The brand is all about stripping back your routine and getting back to basics—using pure, natural ingredients. They’ve already helped over 100,000 customers clear up their skin …and aim to help 10 million more.

Norse Organics is inspired by the tough, resilient spirit of Viking warriors, and their ingredients reflect this. They’re sourced from wild Arctic plants that thrive and survive the Norwegian mountains’ deep snow and freezing temperatures.

With Norway’s short ripening window, these plants pack a lot of nutrients, so they concentrate all their goodness in a short period.

Especially those ingredients like wild mountain marigold (a natural anti-inflammatory and healing wonder), thistle oil (a master hydrator), and lavender oil (a natural antibacterial).

All ingredients are picked at their peak and hand-blended with Arctic beeswax to create potent balms. Also, they’re free of water, fillers, and bad chemicals.

The Acne Killer Range

Norse Organics believes that good skincare doesn’t have to be complicated. Their 3-step Acne and Redness Ritual is simple and effective, using just three products:

• Premium+ Face Scrub: it’s a gentle exfoliant that contains rice flour, apricot kernel powder, and rose flour, removes dead skin cells and preps your skin for the balms.
• 6-in-1 Daily Glow & Moisturize Balm: a multi-tasking balm loaded with 190 bioactive compounds, particularly rare omega-7 fatty acids, hydrates, soothes redness and even tackles wrinkles.
• Acne Killer Night Balm: a potent balm infused with wild mountain marigold, thistle oil, lavender oil, beeswax, and vitamin E to soothe inflammation and target acne.

What’s inside the products?

• Cold-pressed thistle oil (Carthamus tinctorius oil): mimics the skin’s natural oils by balancing hydration and locking in moisture. Keeps new acne at bay too.
• Cold-pressed Marigold oil and leaves extract (Calendula officinalis oil extracted from prunus amygdalus dulcis): natural salicylic acid found in marigold, aka calendula, reaches deep into the pores and calms and heals irritation. According to a study, marigold heals wounds 383% faster compared to another control group.
• Beeswax (cera alba): creates a protective layer on the skin that prevents outside acne outbreaks. Together with Arctic plants, it helps effectively combat acne bacteria.

• Cold-pressed borage oil (Borago officinalis seed oil): those with acne are prone to excessive sebum buildup. Its fatty acids dilute sebum and calm inflammation.
• Natural vitamin E (tocopherol): builds skin cells strong enough to combat acne bacteria before they have a chance to cause breakouts.

Norse Organics uses organic, wild, and cold-pressed ingredients. Since the products are water-free, they’re highly concentrated, unlike traditional products with 70% water. This means you only need a small amount of balm for each application.

Does it Really Work? My Thoughts

You know I’m all about trying new skincare products, so I put the Acne Killer Range to the test.

I’ve been dealing with a few breakouts for what feels like forever, so I was super curious to see if this all-natural approach could actually be effective.

Here’s how to use these products:

Morning: Apply a light layer of the 6-in-1 Daily Glow & Moisturize Balm to the face after cleansing. This balm does it all: moisturizes, reduces redness, fights wrinkles, and gives a natural glow.

Shower: use the Premium+ Face Scrub in the shower 2-3 times a week. This gently sloughs away dead skin cells, allowing the balms to penetrate deeper and do their work.

But remember: don’t get the jar wet! Since the scrub is a powder, water can cause mold. Instead, take out a small pinch of powder in your palm with dry hands. Then, mix it with water in your palm and gently exfoliate your face for 1-2 minutes. Rinse well and let dry.

Night: just before bedtime, apply a little night balm to your face. This potent balm is your secret weapon against blemishes. For stubborn acne, you can apply the balm 3-4 times daily to the affected areas for faster results.

One thing I love about Norse Organics is its simplicity—they actually advise against using other skincare products while using their ritual, including cleansers and face washes. This might sound counterintuitive, but the idea is that overwashing can strip your skin’s natural oils and lead to dryness and even more breakouts. Intriguing, right?

Even though it’s gentle, I did experience some dryness at first. My skin adjusted eventually, but it’s something to keep in mind if you have naturally dry skin.

Many users have seen results in just a few days, some even experiencing improvements overnight. 

While the results can be super quick for some, it can take a few weeks or even months for others to see the full effects. You’ve got to be patient and consistent. Now, I’m usually skeptical of brands that make bold claims, but the before-and-after photos and testimonials on their official website and Trustpilot are quite convincing.

As far as traditional acne treatments like Accutane go, they can have some nasty side effects. I’ve found Norse Organic to be gentler. They formulate their products with 100% natural, plant-based ingredients, so they’re less likely to irritate or dry out the skin. Based on my own experience, I definitely agree—my skin feels nourished and balanced.

But here’s an important thing to note! While Norse Organics products are well-received by many people, they’re not a substitute for medical advice. If you’re dealing with a severe form of acne, you’re better off talking to a dermatologist.

All in all, I believe Norse Organics Acne Killer Range is a refreshing alternative to harsh, chemical-laden treatments, and it’s worth checking out if you want a long-term solution.
