Norwegian skincare brand, Norse Organics has taken the skincare industry by storm selling out eleven times since launching in January 2024. The brand first launched in the USA, and has since expanded into Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. With over 100 000 positive acne-transforming and a loyal following on social media, could this cult favourite be too good to be true?
The Acne and Redness Ritual
The Acne Killer is the hero of a three part system. This includes a 6-in-1 Day Balm and a Premium Face Scrub. Interestingly the brand prescribes only washing your face three times per week. They explain doing so more often affects the skin’s ability to naturally produce oil. It also removes the skin’s barrier which is needed for repelling pollutants and acne bacteria. As crazy as it sounds, yes washing your face – could be causing your acne!
Arctic Plants Make All The Difference
Norse Organics has differentiated itself in a crowded skincare market by relying on zero chemicals or additives. A welcomed departure of traditional acne treatments like accutane and tretinoin. The brand’s products rely solely on wild-harvested arctic plants, hand picked from Norway’s mountainsides. In order to survive -30 degree winters and a short growing season, the plants are nutrient dense packed with anti-oxidants.
The ingredient list includes an impressive array of botanicals: Calendula, Buckthorn, Nettle and Marigold, to name a few. Founder, Daniel Hoftun says, “each plant is chosen for its specific ability to address the issues our clients face. Buckthorn, which is high in anti-oxidants, has reputable skin-healing properties, while marigold is anti-inflammatory and nettle is anti-bacterial.
Hoftun elaborates that “everything in the jar has a purpose” and a direct impact on the skin.
Results That Speak For Themselves
Making skincare from arctic plants is one thing, but seeing results is what keeps customers coming back. The Acne Killer stands out for its effectiveness, with a reported 97% review success rate across all acne types, including cystic, hormonal, and rosacea.
Before and after transformation videos have gone viral all over social media. Tiktoks detail customer journeys which show acne being cured in as little as 9 days. Platforms like Trustpilot are littered with positive reviews, while the brand’s Facebook page is filled with reviews calling the Acne Killer, ‘life changing’
Of course, some reviews note an initial adjustment period, as the skin gets used to potent ingredients that have zero water added. Norse Organics does offer a unique 60-day money back guarantee, should users not see results. That certainly sounds like confidence.
Too Good To Be True?
As a sceptic, I thought perhaps the infamous ‘Acne Killer’ was too good to be true. But with thousands of positive customer reviews, loyal fans stockpiling products in fear of running out and testimonial videos in abundance, all the evidence points to the fact that this Acne Killer, well… it KILLS ACNE!
