Volufiline Tested for Under-Eye Hollows: What It Can and Can't Do

Volufiline, a plant-derived compound containing sarsasapogenin, is gaining popularity on TikTok as a topical alternative to injectable fillers for under-eye hollows. Experts caution it is not a replacement for fillers but can provide subtle plumping effects by promoting lipid accumulation in fat cells. Jessica Manges, founder of LUX Injectables in Clearwater, FL, explains that volufiline offers modest cosmetic improvements in skin hydration and smoothness, not dramatic volume enhancement. Nurse Maro Mehdi from Alchemy 43 in Los Angeles recommends it for mild crepiness and fine lines. Vogue editors tested three products: Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Volume Multi Balm Stick, The Ordinary Volufiline 92% + Pal-Isoleucine 1% Serum, and Abib PDRN Volume fill-it Booster Cream. The Ordinary's serum, with 92% volufiline, was praised for cumulative subtle benefits. Abib's cream, containing volufiline and PDRN, showed results on tech neck lines.
