Apart from wrinkles, age spots are one of the particularly unwelcome signs of aging because they significantly increase the optical age. Especially when they are on visible areas such as the face, they are perceived as a blemish and those affected are looking for ways to remove them. There are many alternatives, some of which are associated with high costs. The Biovole cress ointment, which is supposed to lighten age and pigment spots naturally and gently, while at the same time optimally caring for the rest of the mature skin, is becoming more and more popular. We reveal in the test what the ointment is good for!
What is cress ointment?
Age spots are among the typical signs of skin aging. From the age of 60 at the latest, almost everyone has at least one age spot. The so-called sun terraces are often the first to be affected: the face, décolleté and the backs of the hands. The only way to avoid harmless pigment disorders for longer is strict protection from the sun - from a young age. Although there are ways to cover up the brown spots with make-up, for example, or to lighten them with bleaching creams, they are usually not a long-term solution. Bleaching creams in particular often have the problem that the surrounding skin is also lightened, which leads to unsightly spots.
The active cress ointment from the German company Evertz Pharma GmbH is pursuing an innovative solution: a herbal extract from garden cress is intended to gently and specifically lighten pigment spots.
How does the cress ointment work on age spots?
Cress not only enhances the look and taste of food. The inconspicuous and easy-care herb is also very versatile as a medicinal plant. Garden cress is rich in mustard oil glycosides and flavonoids, among other things. These give it the spicy taste and have a positive effect on health. Cress is used especially for kidney and bladder infections thanks to its antibiotic and stimulating effect. The herb is also suitable for stomach problems such as loss of appetite.
The health-promoting effect of garden cress has been known for a long time, which is why researchers have also investigated whether the properties of cress can also be used externally. This turned into an active ingredient that, processed in a cream, inhibits the formation of excess melanin. This skin pigment is responsible for the tanning of our skin, but also to an excessive degree for the development of pigment disorders such as age spots. The special feature of the active ingredient in Biovolen Active cress ointment is not only that it prevents the development of pigment spots, but also existing pigment spots in a targeted and gentle manner can brighten. Only the areas where there is an accumulation of melanin are lightened. The other skin areas are not affected by the bleaching effect of the cream.
For whom is the Biovolen Active Cress Ointment suitable?
In contrast to conventional bleaching creams, which may only be used very selectively, a holistic anti-aging cream was developed with the Biovolen Active Cress Ointment. The composition of the active substances and ingredients is tailored to the needs of mature skin.
It is primarily aimed at people who are already struggling with age spots. These usually appear for the first time between the ages of 40 and 50. Depending on lifestyle, however, they can also occur much earlier. Other signs of skin aging, such as wrinkles, often appear earlier if the skin has often been exposed to the sun without protection. Such skin damage can also be prevented by the antioxidant ingredients in cress ointment.
The active cress ointment is also suitable for preventive care for younger people who do not yet have age spots. Cress ointment can delay the development of age spots, especially if the skin has been frequently exposed to UV rays (sun, solarium). The annoyance of pigment spots and other sun damage on the face is thus spared. Prevention is usually the easier way. Once the pigment and age spots are there, it is much more difficult to get rid of them.
What ingredients does the cress ointment contain?
The manufacturer relies on natural raw materials, most of which come from controlled organic cultivation. High-quality oils, including soybean and argan oil, care for and smooth the skin. Thanks to their antioxidants, they protect skin cells and promote their regeneration. The oils also lock in moisture in the skin, preventing it from drying out and keeping it supple. This effect is supported by the moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and berry wax. Vitamin E and secondary plant substances (isoflavonoids) also have an antioxidant effect and thus protect the skin cells. This can slow down the skin aging process.
Last but not least, the active ingredient contained in cress can prevent the development of age spots and specifically lighten existing pigment spots. The combination with the other ingredients makes the cress ointment a holistic day cream for mature skin.

The active cress ointment is free from silicones, parabens, mineral oil and microplastics. Animal ingredients are also avoided.
How is the Biovolen cress ointment used?
The active cress ointment is suitable as a holistic day and night care and can therefore be easily integrated into the care routine. Since the active ingredient from cress acts selectively against age spots, the ointment can be used without hesitation as skin care without causing blotchy skin.
In order to achieve an effect, it is important to use the cress ointment every day. An effect against pigment and age spots can only be achieved with regular use over a period of at least 3 weeks.
The active cress ointment is applied to the entire face every day after cleansing. If necessary, it can also be used on the arms, backs of the hands and the décolleté - i.e. wherever age spots appear. The ointment should be used at least once a day, if you like you can use it both in the morning and in the evening. Sunscreen should be applied afterwards, especially when used in the morning, to protect the skin from further UV damage such as age spots and wrinkles. The ointment can also be used under make-up without any problems. Especially in the winter months, the skin tends to dry out. It is therefore also possible to supplement the cress ointment with a moisturizing serum or facial oil. Even those who have the feeling that the Biovolen Active cress ointment is not providing enough moisture can take these measures.
How long does it take for a visible effect to appear?
Biovolen Active Cress Ointment is a natural cosmetic cream. Experience has shown that every skin reacts differently to herbal active ingredients. In principle, these need more time to work in the deeper layers of the skin and to achieve an effect. Alternative creams often contain critical ingredients that make the skin superficially smooth and usually immediately improve its appearance. However, such creams usually do not have a preventive and deeply effective effect.
Of course, how quickly age spots lighten also depends on their size and colour. Very dark and large spots must be treated regularly and long-term with the cress ointment, while small and light spots can show an improvement after a short time. This is comparable to expensive alternative treatments such as lasers. There, too, several sessions are necessary to achieve a satisfactory result.
According to the tests and experiences, a visible lightening of the age spots can usually be seen after an application period of 4 weeks. The rest of the skin should also have improved after this time. Provided that the cress ointment was used regularly.
Does the active cress ointment have any side effects?
Tolerability is particularly important for facial care. On the one hand, irritation and redness are particularly noticeable here, and on the other hand, the skin is stressed enough by external influences, which is why you shouldn't put additional stress on it. This is especially true for mature skin, which is less and less able to recover.
Cosmetics should generally not have any side effects. This also applies to the Biovolen Active cress ointment. Therefore, no side effects are known here either. The anti-aging cream consists mainly of natural ingredients that are non-irritating. The skin compatibility of Biovole cress ointment has been dermatologically tested and confirmed.
Undesirable reactions or intolerances can always occur. People who are allergic to fragrances or people with very sensitive skin in particular should check all cosmetic products, such as the Biovolen Active cress ointment, for possible allergy-causing ingredients and, if necessary, test the ointment on a skin area. If there are no changes, the cream can also be tested on the face.
What experiences do users have with cress ointment?
The Biovole cress ointment is enjoying increasing popularity. While the ointment was only traded as a natural cosmetic insider tip for age spots, it is now widely known. Therefore, there are also many experiences and test reports from users on the Internet. According to the manufacturer, almost 94 percent of customers from the online shop are convinced of the effect of the cress ointment.
If you go looking for other cress ointment experiences and opinions, you will mostly find positive feedback. For the majority of users, the complexion improved visibly after regular use. Light pigment spots are partially completely faded and dark spots are at least significantly lightened. Occasionally, the ointment shows an insufficient effect. The causes of this can be varied, it usually affects people with large, very dark age spots that have existed for a long time.
Users share their experiences with anti-aging care not only in text form, but also in the form of a video experience report.
Biovolen cress ointment in a self-test
Even though there are countless reviews, experiences and test reports on the internet, we wanted to convince ourselves of the effect of the active cress ointment. Our colleague Ramona has had age spots on her face and the backs of her hands for some time. Originally she wanted to have the spots lasered because she finds them very annoying. Then we drew their attention to our cress ointment test and our tester was found. According to the manufacturer's recommendation, she applied the cress ointment twice a day for 5 weeks. She recorded the following experiences for us:
First impression: The cream is packaged in a handy jar that, unlike many packaging, is not double-walled. Contrary to what was expected, the texture resembles normal facial care and is not "ointment-like". The cress ointment smells pleasantly unobtrusive, is easy to apply and absorbs quickly. No mask-like film remains. The cream does not crumble under make-up either.
2 weeks of use: the skin feels well cared for and moisturized. The overall complexion looks a bit finer, even if there is still no difference in the age spots. Irritations or other side effects did not occur.
4 weeks of use: the light age spots on the hands have already faded somewhat, and the darker spots on the face also look a little lighter. In the before and after comparison, a first visible difference can also be seen on the basis of photos.
Conclusion after 5 weeks: Those who patiently smear the active cress ointment will also achieve success over time. The age spots on the backs of the hands are almost no longer visible and the dark spots on the face have visibly faded. Overall, the skin feels supple and firm. There were no other spots and the surrounding skin has not changed unnaturally. The result is definitely more than satisfactory - I can save myself a trip to the dermatologist for the time being.
What is the result of the test by Stiftung Warentest?
Some time ago, Stiftung Warentest tested hand creams against age spots. After an application period of 12 weeks, however, none of the tested creams against age spots was convincing. The Biovolen Active Cress Ointment was not yet available at that time. Therefore, there is no test and therefore no judgment by Stiftung Warentest.

As a listed pharmacy product, cress ointment can be bought in pharmacies and also online pharmacies. When buying, you should pay attention to the pharmaceutical central number (PZN) in order to purchase the right product: 16233396.

Sometimes you can also find offers for Biovole cress ointment on Amazon. However, these offers do not come from the manufacturer, which is why caution is advised here. Biovolen ointment cannot be bought in drugstores, perfumeries or health food stores.
Can you make cress ointment yourself?
In addition to home remedies, making it yourself is a popular alternative to save money and treat the skin as gently as possible. Of course, this also raises the question of whether you can make cress ointment yourself. However, the answer is: no, you cannot make the active cress ointment yourself.
It is of course possible to stir conventional garden cress into a cream. However, this will not achieve an effect against age spots. This requires the special active ingredient from active cress. This is extracted in a modern biotechnological process and cosmetically prepared for the skin. It is also encapsulated in a so-called vector molecule so that it can have a targeted and continuous effect against age spots. These conditions require a specially equipped laboratory with trained staff.
Is there an alternative to cress ointment?
If you search the internet for the keyword cress ointment, other alternative ointments will be offered in addition to the original Biovolen Aktiv cress ointment. These usually have a similar name and come from manufacturers abroad. They are usually offered via Amazon or their own sales sites. However, since these products are not manufactured under certified conditions in Germany, there is no guarantee whatsoever for the ingredients contained and their safety.
