The Ordinary – Volufiline 92% + Pal-Isoleucine 1%

Description

Formulated as an ultra-targeted structural treatment for facial fat pad depletion and localized volume loss, this anhydrous serum delivers professional-grade plumping. The clinical core features an extraordinary 92% concentration of Volufiline™ (a patented cosmetic technology derived from the roots of the plant Anemarrhena asphodeloides). This specialized compound works dynamically to encourage a naturally padded, smooth appearance in localized areas prone to a sunken look, working over time to safely expand the volume and density of the skin matrix.

The volume-boosting matrix is reinforced by 1% palmitoyl isoleucine, a high-performance bio-mimetic lipoamino acid. This supporting active functions on a cellular structural level to fortify the deep scaffolding responsible for skin elasticity, providing an immediate firming and lifted effect. By strengthening these delicate interior networks, it targets and relaxes the look of stubborn fine lines, shallow expression wrinkles, and facial sagging around the lower jaw and nasal folds.

The specialized, water-free (anhydrous) fluid texture delivers a rich, comforting layer with excellent slip, allowing for precise, concentrated application without traveling or dissipating unnecessarily. Designed specifically to be layered as a seal after your daily moisturizer, it acts as an intensive occlusive treatment that deeply locks in nutrients over hollow facial regions like the temples, tear troughs, and cheeks. Regular daily use helps re-contour a thinning, hollowed complexion into a beautifully plumped, smooth, and youthfully dimensional look.

How to use:

1. Prep & Shake: Agitate the bottle and shake well before every use to ensure the high concentration of Volufiline™ and lipid actives are perfectly blended.
2. Targeted Application: Complete your entire global skincare sequence, including your standard water-based serums and facial moisturizers. Then, dispense 1 to 2 drops of the anhydrous serum onto your clean fingertips.
3. Press & Smooth: Apply the fluid directly onto clean and dry targeted zones showing a visible loss of density—such as under-eye hollows (tear troughs), sunken cheeks, smile lines, or the temples. Press gently into the skin and allow it to sit as a protective sealing layer.
4. Frequency: This non-irritating, concentrated treatment does not require mixing with other oils and can be integrated into both your morning (AM) and evening (PM) routines for consistent plumping results.
5. Professional Tip: Because this lipid-heavy formula acts as an advanced, localized seal, always apply it after your moisturizer so it won’t block water-based products from absorbing. For daytime use, finish your routine by layering a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher over your entire face to prevent UV-induced collagen degradation. Note: Patch testing on unbroken skin prior to your initial application is strongly advised.
