The story of nor sken®
A new era in age-defying skincare
Good things take time. The story of nor sken® begins over 30 years ago, when Swedish innovators Lars Brittsjö and Lars Kärnerud transformed the skincare world with the launch of Imedeen — the world’s first beauty supplement that worked from within.
Their revolutionary approach introduced the world to cosmeceuticals: skincare that works on a cellular level, not just the surface. Millions experienced the results, and a new way of thinking about skin health was born.
Today, the duo brings their legacy full circle with nor sken® — a breakthrough in reverse-ageing skincare. Using the latest in dermatological science and natural ingredients, nor sken® restore works to stimulate the body’s own production of collagen, elastin, and fibronectin — the building blocks of youthful, radiant skin.
