"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?

"If you enjoy the temporary plumping sensation and tolerate the discomfort, the warmth, and it doesn't irritate your skin, then it might be fine for you to use. Personally, I really wish that they would get rid of the volufiline, which I assume is what leads to the warmth, the swelling, the sensation. I like the Pal-Isoleucine in [...] it because it's almost like mineral oil for the skin but a different substance and I really like that because it is moisturizing."

"I did a video sharing how I was prepping my under eye for concealer using Volufiline. 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. [...] You don't need a lot of this. The [...] applicator is slightly tricky and definitely dispenses too much product, so give it a half pump."

"They used it for about 50 plus days and the average result was a 2.2% increase in breast volume with some good responders seeing maybe 8%. Again, very small. It was not a peer-reviewed study. [...] When it's made by the manufacturer, you don't really often have access to how the study was set up, did these patients do anything else like actual breast surgery during the study, did they use anything else. We don't know, but [...] they applied this cream and there was this improvement."

"Not groundbreaking. These studies showed roughly a 2.7% increase, but that's something. And it will instantly hydrate and nourish the skin, too. So you get that instant hydration, that nice plumping effect the second you use it. And in the long term, you are going to get some marginal improvements in terms of volume and density in the skin. I really do love it, but I think how you use it is key."

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

"You're not going to get filler-like results, but over a period of 6 to 8 weeks you'll definitely see some of that fullness return, some of that plumpness, that juiciness that we can lose as we age. I've been using it ahead of the launch [...] and I've been 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 some results when it comes to maintaining that fullness in the skin."

"This is the Ordinary Volufiline 92%. 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."

"The volume feline actually targets lost fat deposits in the skin. As we age, the volume, the fat retention in the skin does diminish and volume feline 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."

"It is a tricky product to use. Everyone went mad for it when it launched and then realized actually it's really tricky to incorporate. How I actually use this is on the lip. I love [...] this. I put a little bit on the lips, plumps out, reduces those fine lines and wrinkles. In the long term, it'll definitely help restore loss volume in that area, but in the short term, it also plumps out. Put a lip balm on top of it. Done. Easy, quick win. You can use this all over the face."

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

"But ultimately, we're here for the results, and I definitely got them. It worked for me. [...] Did it deliver enough that I wanted to continue to use it? Absolutely. If you like a quick win instant plumping and hydration, this is a really, really nice product to use. [...] You could almost switch it out for an existing hyaluronic acid or other plumping serum that you have in your routine and use this instead instead. That way you're not overloading the skin with too many products."

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

"It's not filler. People are referring to this as filler in a bottle, but it's not. It's very different. If you were to have an injectable filler treatment, you get an immediate and quite dramatic change. This is something you're going to have to build up over time. A 2.5% increase in lipid density, which one study showed, isn't going to give you the same results as a hyaluronic acid filler treatment. It's different. I think [...] we should bear that in mind and set our expectations."

Major Update: THE ORDINARY VOLUFILINE ( Why I Quit Filler In A Bottle )

"I [...] still think this is an absolute phenomenal product, but there are some things which mean I reach for it less frequently than maybe I expected to. [...] What I did get from this is that increase in volume. Definitely saw that plumpness and hydration, and I definitely found that the price point aligned with what I was looking to spend in terms of skincare. Super inexpensive. It's a sort of product that you can buy and enjoy without worrying that you're breaking the bank."

"Had some really amazing results, but for me now, this is my third volume product and out of all three of them, none of them have been overly impressive to me. Nothing has revealed like amazing results that you hear about. [...] Some people get amazing results. Some people, like me, don't notice much either way. But I haven't I don't think I've done a full review of it yet. Still need to keep testing it out."

"I will say if you look at Reddit, it is [...] 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 Volifaline, and I have yet to be knocked over by it. I just haven't found [...] it to be impressive. I just found it to be nice and hydrating, I guess."

Volufiline - The Ordinary New Volufiline Serum - Is It A Skin Plumping Miracle Worker & Worth Trying

"I will say I've tested this. 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 this for a couple of months in very small amounts around my mouth area. I didn't notice any benefits. Some people say they notice the most amazing benefits and so this was studied. It's a controversial ingredient, a combination of hydrogenated polyisobutene and a plant extract founded by a French company called Restorsea."

"Some people will apply this and they will say the next day, 'Wow, I got so much volume.' I tested one out for months and I never noticed anything after months and some people use it for like a day and be 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 really just absorbed quickly. [...] The texture was a lot less greasy than I thought. I'm not super impressed."

"Now the clinical trials around Volufiline are not super impressive, but it's a very affordable product. I think there's very little harm in trying it, and I would probably use something like this [...] for at least six to nine months before I really had a good understanding of whether 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."

"I really didn't have a good experience with this. [...] I am no longer using this underneath my eyes, which was the area that I was using this consistently. [...] For my under eyes, it was a no-go. I really did not like my experience, especially towards the end of the 14th week. I don't know how to rate this to be honest with you. I need to almost use this again on my lips to give a better rating. For right now, I'm going to say this is a 6 out of 10."
