On the face alone there are several thousand pieces - some more, some less visible. The fact is that large pores cause dissatisfaction in most people and even make-up only helps for a short time. With the help of the active resin ointment and a special resin extract, large pores and bumps should soon be a thing of the past. A self-test shows how well the product really works.
Large pores on the face: how they occur
Pores are a completely natural and, above all, important part of the skin. Everyone has pores, not just on their face, but all over their body. Sweat is excreted through the pores to cool the body. On the other hand, the pores secrete sebum to protect the skin. The pore size is genetically determined, but enlarged pores often appear in the skin. They look like small holes and make the skin appear uneven.
Enlarged pores are caused by an overproduction of sebum in the sebaceous glands. This overproduction is mostly hormonal, because sebum production is stimulated by testosterone. The excess skin fat no longer drains properly from the pores to the outside and begins to clog the pore channels. Tallow plugs form, which expand the pore and become visible on the outside as blackheads. If bacteria get in, the sebaceous glands become inflamed and a pimple forms.
In addition, a cornification disorder of the skin can be the cause of large-pored skin. The surface of the skin constantly forms new horny cells and rejects the old ones. If this process is disturbed and more skin cells form than necessary, they block the pore exits. In this way, the sebum can no longer drain properly here either. It builds up and stretches the pore.
What is resin ointment?
The Biovolen Aktiv resin ointment is a skin care ointment with resin extract that was specially developed for use with large pores. The combination of the resin active ingredient and skin care oils is intended to curb the overproduction of sebum and thus refine the complexion. Large pores can thus be reduced and skin impurities prevented. At the same time, the skin is cared for without clogging the pores.
The effect is based on an active ingredient made from mastic resin. The resin is obtained from the mastic tree cultivated on the Greek island of Chios. The special properties of the active ingredient make it possible for large pores to be reduced and the complexion to become clearer.
The active resin ointment is vegan and contains no dyes or fragrances. It is applied like a conventional day cream and, with regular use, can already show visible results in the form of finer pores and less skin shine after just a few weeks.
How does Biovolen Aktiv resin ointment work?
Mastic is a well-known aromatic resin that was already used by the Romans for oral and dental hygiene, but also for stomach problems and to refine food. Even today, the resin is a natural remedy due to its health-promoting properties. Mastic has antiviral, antibacterial, astringent and anti-inflammatory effects.
So that the resin can be used for skin care, a water-soluble extract must be produced from it in a complex process. According to in vitro studies, the resulting active ingredient acts like a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. The higher the concentration of the resin extract, the stronger the inhibitory effect.
5-alpha-reductase is the enzyme that converts the hormone testosterone into the biologically active form dihydrotestosterone. DHT binds to special receptors in the sebaceous glands and stimulates sebum production. Overproduction occurs, which leads to blockages in the pore channels. If the enzyme is inhibited with the help of the active substance from resin, the stimulation of the sebaceous glands can also be reduced. The sebum production is normalized, which prevents blockages in the pores and thus enlarged pores and greasy, shiny skin.
Since the active resin ointment is a skin care product, it also contains moisturizing ingredients. The largest part is made up of vegetable oils that are non-comedogenic. This means that the ingredients do not clog the pores. The oils provide the skin with vitamins and antioxidants and protect it from drying out.
What are the ingredients of the active resin ointment?
Natural oils from controlled organic cultivation make up the majority of the Biovole resin ointment. High-quality oils such as argan oil are used, which with its cell-protecting and antibacterial effect is ideal for large-pored and impure skin. Ingredients like shea butter and almond oil moisturize the skin without leaving a greasy film.
The resin ointment is enriched with hyaluronic acid, which binds moisture and keeps it in the skin. This ensures a plump and smooth skin surface. Glycerine and aloe vera extract provide additional care. The active resin ointment also contains the antioxidant vitamin E for an anti-aging effect. The firmer the skin remains, the more inconspicuous the pores are. The resin ointment also contains the following caring ingredients:
There are no fragrances or dyes in the resin ointment. It is therefore also well tolerated by allergy sufferers. The skin compatibility was tested and confirmed by an independent institute. According to the manufacturer, the use of mineral oils, microplastics and silicones is avoided for the sake of the environment and the skin. Biovolen Active Resin Ointment is vegan.

How is the active resin ointment used?
The active resin ointment from Biovolen is no different to conventional facial care in terms of application. In order to achieve the best results, the manufacturer recommends using the resin ointment daily. With regular use, the resin active ingredient can unfold its effect on the skin. In addition, the skin needs about 4 weeks to regenerate. This also means that there is no immediate effect on the pore size, but the skin's surface first has to go through one or more renewal processes. The first results only appear after this period of time has elapsed.
The ointment is applied to the entire facial skin in the morning and, if necessary, in the evening after cleansing. It is important to thoroughly remove all cosmetic residues from the skin, as these close the pores and cause blockages and thus enlarged pores. Due to the moisturizing ingredients, the active resin ointment is suitable as day and night care and also as a make-up base. No additional care is necessary.
If the resin ointment is not rich enough, it can be combined with a hyaluronic serum. The ointment can also only be used on the large-pored areas - mostly in the T-zone - with the positive side effect that it mattifies these skin areas and thus prevents unsightly greasy shine.
How quickly do changes in the pore size become apparent?
Large pores are not welcomed by very few and many expect quick help with the use of the active resin ointment. However, since this is a skin care product, a little patience is required. After all, it is not a cosmetic procedure. The skin must first get used to the new care. On average, the skin surface renews itself every 4 weeks. Old cells are shed and new cells are formed. The effect of the antioxidant active ingredients to maintain the firmness of the skin does not work from one day to the next. The resin ointment should be used daily for at least 3-4 weeks to achieve success.
Users report in their resin ointment experiences that they have noticed a positive effect after just a few days. The skin appears more even and matt. In most cases, however, visible changes in the large pores only become apparent after at least 2 weeks.
Are there any side effects with the active resin ointment?
There are no known side effects for the resin ointment. Cosmetic products are basically free of side effects. If you are allergic to one of the ingredients, you should of course not use the ointment to avoid unpleasant skin reactions. Since the resin ointment is free of dyes or fragrances, it is well tolerated according to the manufacturer. In addition, the ointment is manufactured in Germany under high quality standards with high-quality ingredients, so that contamination or other defects can be ruled out.
Intolerances can never be 100 percent ruled out. People with very sensitive skin in particular should test every skin care product on a small area before applying it to a large area.
Biovolen active resin ointment experiences: the before and after test
The experiences and ratings of other people play a major role in the purchase decision. Especially with high-priced products, nobody wants to take the risk of spending a lot of money and being dissatisfied in the end. There are already reports on the resin ointment on various rating portals and in online magazines. In the self-test, users try the ointment over several weeks and record their experience in the form of before-and-after comparisons. Employee Manuela also became aware of the active resin ointment and agreed to do a self-test.
Manuela has normal skin that gets greasy relatively quickly in the T-zone. Although she has hardly any impurities, she has clearly visible pores on her cheeks. This makes the perfect test subject for the resin ointment. Manuela was instructed to apply the active resin ointment to her cleansed face mornings and evenings over a period of 6 weeks. For a better comparison at the end of the test, she took photos of her complexion.
Manuela already reports on her positive experiences at the first check-up appointment after 2 weeks. The pore size has not changed visibly, but she is surprised by the mattifying effect of the ointment. According to her, her skin is less greasy, especially on the forehead and nose. As a result, the complexion appears more even and purer. The resin ointment is quickly absorbed into the skin without leaving any residue.
At the 2nd check-up appointment after another 2 weeks, the resin ointment did not disappoint. Manuela reports that even in the mirror she didn't notice any difference in her pores. But when she compared the pictures of her skin, the difference was clear. The pore size has reduced overall, some large pores are still visible but the overall picture is becoming more even. Even minor redness and blackheads have dried up. Manuela has found that the resin ointment alone is not rich enough for the dry areas on her face. She also uses another facial care product for this.
The last check-up appointment after 6 weeks confirms Manuela's previous experiences with the active resin ointment. The complexion looks much finer and matted. The pores have become smaller in direct comparison. According to Manuela, her make-up no longer settles so much in the individual depressions, which means that the skin on her face appears more even. The pot with the active resin ointment is still half full after 6 weeks of use.
The overall assessment of our tester Manuela is good. After 6 weeks, your complexion looked much cleaner and more even. She is particularly impressed by the matting effect of the resin ointment. The only point of criticism lies in the care effect, because in places or with very dry skin it lacked a stronger moisturizing effect.

In the reports on the Biovolen active resin ointment with a before and after comparison, you can also clearly see the refined skin structure and the reduction in large pores.
One user writes in her testimonial: "The cream is very expensive, but worth every penny. I've always suffered from large-pored, oily skin with the formation of comedomes. Tried everything, nothing helped. Wasn't expecting much but wanted to try anyway. I now use the cream for about 14 days in the evening and my complexion improves day by day. In any case, I will continue to use the cream.”
