"I have reviewed the volume filling serum from The Ordinary, and it's not going to bring back lost volume in the face. The study behind it was bogus, done on women's breasts showing an increase in size, so they never actually showed any kind of fat restoration at all. Topicals just aren't going to correct that kind of volume loss."

Facial Volume Loss: Can The Ordinary Volufiline Really Help?

"Whether or not it's good for your skin to do that on a repeated basis, I suspect it can lead to a lot of irritation, especially if you have rosacea. I also don't think this does anything with regard to restoring lost fat. The idea that a topical product can selectively stimulate fat cell maturation exactly where you want it, with no off-target effects and [...] no unwanted fat cell differentiation, seems like such a reach. So bizarre. You feel something, that's for sure."

"On the lips, I love it. [...] The applicator actually lends itself to a lip application quite well, because you can whizz it around. Just make sure you clean it afterwards, but you can whizz it around, and that works really well for an easy lip application. It gives a nice plumping, and it'll help remove any lines people might have around the lips. You can then top it off with a really nice balm, and that locks everything in and gives you maximum hydration and a little plumping to the pout too."

$40 ANTI AGING MIRACLE TRIO - 4x Firmer Skin (The Ordinary Anti Aging)

"I've been using it ahead of the launch. The Ordinary were really kind to send me this ahead of the launch, and I've been really, really impressed. I think it gives immediate hydration. It definitely plumps, and I'm really confident that in the long term I'm going to start seeing results when it comes to maintaining that fullness in the skin. So yeah, that's the Volufiline, soon to launch."

"This is The Ordinary Volufiline 92% + Palmitoyl Isoleucine 1%. A lot of people refer to this as filler in a bottle, which I don't think technically it is, but it is a great option when it comes to plumping and increasing volume in the skin. This is launching soon, so I thought I'd use it in today's video so you can see how to use The Ordinary Volufiline 92% + Palmitoyl Isoleucine 1% if you're tempted to try it for your own skincare routine."

"The Volufiline actually tags lost fat deposits in the skin. As we age, the volume, the fat retention in the skin does diminish, and Volufiline can help correct and reverse some of that. It instantly plumps and hydrates, but in the long term it has some really great benefits for promoting fat restoration, which will just give us that long-term voluminous, fresh, plump skin that we all secretly crave. Used individually, each one of these is amazing in their own right. Together, it's honestly a"

"This launched [...] about a year ago and took the world by storm. It is a tricky product to use. I think everyone went mad for it when it launched and then realized it's really tricky to incorporate. How I actually use this is on the lips. I'm not a smoker, never have been, [...] but even if you're not a smoker, you can still get fine lines around the lips. If you're a smoker, that'll be exacerbated. Often people find that drinking through straws can [...] cause lines around the lip."

Truth About THE ORDINARY VOLUFILINE SERUM - Filler In A Bottle Scam

"It's not groundbreaking. I've heard people refer to this as filler in a bottle, and I think that's very misleading. You're not going to get filler-like results, but it is noticeable to the naked eye, so it is clearly doing something. While I haven't been wowed or blown away by the outcomes, I've been impressed enough to want to continue to invest my own money and buy it time and time again. The couple of things I will call out is that it can be a little tricky in terms of application."

Miracle $15 Skin Plumping Serum - THE FUTURE OF ANTI AGING

"So it's a very nice and pleasant product to use. Also a huge pro is that price point. During that sale, £15, that is a phenomenal price point for innovative technology and a really great anti-aging ingredient to incorporate into your skincare routine. The Ordinary do always get it right with their price and this one is no exception. Also love the flexibility of the product. You can use it wherever you want, in a way that you want to use it. How I would personally use this is in a targeted way."

"I personally really like it. I think you need to have used it consistently for six months. The key thing here is setting your expectations. I see a lot of people, particularly on some other apps, calling it filler in a bottle, saying it's taken 10 years off their skin instantly. I think that's overhyping it. What I will say is that volufiline is well studied, and there's lots of data to show it can help increase density and volume in the skin over time. It's not groundbreaking."

"This is by The Ordinary. It is supposed to be a plumping product, but I gave it a try as an under eye concealer prep, and I have been able to use all the concealers that typically crease in my under eye, and they last throughout the day with minimal to no creasing. [...] The tip is that you don't need a lot of it. Apply a very small amount in the under eye area and just tap it in. The [...] applicator is slightly tricky, though."

"I don't use [...] it that way. I just use it in a very small amount in the under eye area, and I do bring it out to the crow's feet area. There are obviously lots of products you could use in your under eye area to prep it so your concealer doesn't crease all day, but I have found that The Ordinary Volufiline 92% + Palmitoyl Isoleucine 1% works so well. I have a wear test in my full length video on this technique. [...] Volume on, and I usually let it set for about 20 or 30 seconds."

The Under-Eye SKINCARE That Stops Concealer Creasing on Mature Skin!

"Go with the Typology or another type of serum concealer. The key takeaways from today's technique to avoid concealer creasing are number one, your skin prep. Also, avoid those heavier-weight creamy eye creams, because they tend to cause that slip-and-slide effect and make our concealer settle into our lines. Honestly, give The Ordinary Volufiline 92% + Palmitoyl Isoleucine 1% a try. I was very impressed. I think it was the key to basically absolutely no creasing."

"This is the name that shows up on the bottle of The Ordinary, and basically it's signaling that this patent ingredient has gone viral, and people are now really buying into the hype, calling it, for better or for worse, filler in a bottle. [...] Is there any data? There is, but it's very limited and questionable. The best one we have is from the actual manufacturer, and they looked at this product specifically."

"Nothing has revealed like amazing results that you hear about. So, [...] that could just be me. I'm just going to apply it around my mouth area, typically where you want more volume. [...] It's kind of an oily type feeling concoction. I typically recommend applying it to hollow areas or sunken-in areas. A lot of people do it around the mouth, and some people pat it on around their eyes. Some people get amazing results. Some people, like me, don't notice much either way, but keep trying it."

"If you look at Reddit, it's littered with photos of people saying, "Wow, this is amazing." They're applying it directly to their skin and getting amazing results. [...] This is my third product now with The Ordinary Volufiline 92% + Palmitoyl Isoleucine 1%, and I have yet to be knocked over by a feather by it. I [...] didn't find it to be unimpressive, but I didn't find it to be impressive either. I just found it to be nice and hydrating, I guess."

"I will say I've tested it. I personally didn't have any positive results. I didn't have any negative results either, but I didn't notice any effect after testing it for a couple of months in very small amounts around my mouth area. I didn't notice any benefits. Some people say they notice amazing benefits, and this was studied, so it's a controversial ingredient. It's a combination of hydrogenated polyisobutene and a plant extract, and it's founded by a French company, Derma."

"Some people will apply this and the next day say, "Wow, I got so much volume." I tested one out from The Ordinary for months and I never noticed anything. Some people use it for like a day and are like, "Wow." But the texture of it is actually better than I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be really greasy and oily, and it's pretty absorbed quickly. [...] Some people prefer to mix it in with another oil, and you can certainly do that."

"Now, the clinical trials around Volufiline are not super impressive, but it's a very affordable product, so I think there's very little harm in trying it. Something like this I would probably think about using for at least six to nine months before I really had a good understanding of whether or not it was benefiting me. This is a very concentrated serum, so you don't put it directly on dry skin. You can either mix it with your moisturizer or apply it on top of your moisturizer."

"This is a product that I feel has some pros and cons to it. A lot of people love it, a lot of people hate it, and a lot of people are unsure and don't believe in it. It's supposed to help with volume loss. It may take a while to work, maybe 6 months, 12 months, maybe 8 months. [...] I've seen results with my lips. [...] I'm not using this every day like I was. I will use this maybe once or twice a week. [...] I find it to be very hydrating, and there's no sensation with this whatsoever."
