The wart freezer from N1 made a good impression in the test. The product is a good size for convenient use. It is a cryosurgical medical device for the treatment of common warts and plantar warts. The N1 wart freezer is an effective method of freezing, as the warts are completely enclosed and frozen precisely to the core. The result is usually visible after 10-14 days. No plastic applicator is required for application, as the dosing head is shaped in such a way that the wart can be treated in a targeted manner.
The wart freezer is convenient and easy to use and can be used for both normal warts and plantar warts.
Advantages
✅ Easy handling
✅ For common and plantar warts
✅ Good size
Disadvantages
❌ No possibility to influence the size of the icing (for smaller warts)

The wart icing is supplied in a small spray can with a plastic top. The labeling is discreet and limited to the essentials. Everything that must be stated on a medical product is written on the can.
The instructions for use are very detailed , as with a medicinal product, with general information, explanations of the product and the areas of application, the composition, warnings and possible side effects.
There is no information on the sustainability of the product.
This is what our practical test showed

The wart freezer from N1 is a medical product with the ingredient dimethyl ether. It is a wart remover that removes both normal warts and plantar warts by icing. The plastic cap is placed on the wart to be iced at an angle of 30 degrees and iced 3 to 5 times , depending on the size. The plastic cap must then remain on the wart for at least 10 seconds, preferably a little longer. At first, the sensation of the cold stimulus is unfamiliar and uncomfortably cold. Sensitive people may also experience a stinging or pulling sensation. After a short time, the icy area turns whitish and the wart ideally disappears after a few days. However, sometimes two or more treatments are necessary. If you have several warts removed by a dermatologist, several sessions are usually necessary.
In order to obtain a meaningful result about the success of wart freezing, the treatment carried out must be observed over a longer period of time . Only then can the effectiveness be assessed.
The company takes customer service very seriously and is happy to answer any questions about the productor treatment.

Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
---|---|---|
Price / performance ratio | Appropriate | 90 points |
Rating cut | 3.6 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 30 points |
Total | 60 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have rated the product with an average of 3.6 stars. One common complaint is that the spray does not work. Many customers like the fact that it works well when used correctly and is easy to use. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that it really is very easy to use. As far as the negative reviews are concerned, the spray can jam a little when used several times in a short space of time, as the nozzle may “ice up”. However, this disappears after a while and the spray can continue to be used normally.
Prices of up to €21.75 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €16.90. With a price of €16.90, the wart freezer from N1 is therefore currently in the lower price segment. The price ratio is reasonable for the quality and scope of the product.
