PoreAway®

PoreAway® aims at the closure of visible skin pores. The active ingredient is extracted from the valuable rubber resin of the mastic pistachio tree (Pistacia lentiscus). The trees have been cultivated for centuries on the Greek island of Chios in order to extract the spherical resin fragments, the "Tears of Chios", from the scratched bark. The resin was already widely used as a remedy in ancient times. Among other things it was used to fight inflammation of the skin and mucous membranes, especially in the throat. The healing effect is attributed to the astringent effect of mastic: the tissue is contracted (lat. astringere "to contract"), so that small wounds can be closed and pores closed.

Thanks to this mode of action, PoreAway® closes visible skin pores and thus gives the skin a finer and more matte appearance.
