The Ordinary
92% Volufiline™ blend + 1% palmitoyl isoleucine. Water-free and targeted.
Formula comparison
Volufiline products: which one fits your experiment?
Choose between a focused serum, a hydrating multi-active serum, a richer retinal cream, a portable balm and a lip-only plumper—without confusing a trademark-blend percentage with proof.
The North Star answer: The Ordinary is the cleanest targeted test. iUNIK is the broader hydrating serum. Abib is the richer, more complex cream. A valid answer is to skip all three: independent facial-volume evidence remains limited.
iUNIK
Volufiline components with squalane, peptides and PDRN. Percentage not disclosed.
Abib
10,000 ppm (1%) Volufiline plus retinal, PDRN and peptides.
Skip the experiment
Best when you expect structural correction or already have a crowded routine.
92% blend does not mean 92% plant extract.
Volufiline is Croda/Sederma’s trademarked anhydrous ingredient blend containing an Anemarrhena asphodeloides–derived component. INCI presence proves that the component is present; it does not prove an effective dose or filler-like result.

Compare the disclosed formula—not the promise.

The Ordinary Volufiline 92% + Pal-Isoleucine 1%
A seven-ingredient, water-free formula that makes the experiment easier to interpret than a crowded multi-active cream.

HYDRATING MULTI-ACTIVE
iUNIK Volufiline Grape PDRN Serum
A water-based serum with squalane, beta-glucan, bakuchiol, peptides and Sodium DNA. The checked formula confirms Volufiline components, but does not disclose their percentage.
View at authorized retailer →Verified non-affiliate product link. Any benefits beyond formula facts are brand positioning, not independent proof.
RICHER NIGHT-LEANING CREAM
Abib PDRN Volume Fill-it Booster Crème
Discloses 10,000 ppm (1%) Volufiline and 15,000 ppm PDRN, with retinal, niacinamide, ceramide and several peptides in a richer cream.

What Volufiline may—and may not—do
Subtle cosmetic plumping
Hydration, occlusion or formula effects may soften surface lines and slightly change how an area looks.
Restoring facial fat
Independent clinical evidence has not established meaningful restoration of tear-trough or cheek volume.
Control the variables
Use the same lighting, distance and expression in photos. Stop if irritation develops.
Evidence and formula sources

Questions people should ask before buying
Is 92% necessarily better than 1%?
No direct head-to-head evidence establishes that. The percentages do not necessarily describe the same basis, and formula format matters.
Can I use it under my eyes?
Follow the exact product directions and avoid eye contact. A topical may change surface appearance; it has not proven structural correction.
Is Abib a Volufiline serum?
No. It is a richer booster cream with retinal and multiple other actives.
What is the cleanest no-buy option?
Keep a stable moisturiser routine and evaluate whether the concern is dehydration, pigment, a bag or a structural hollow before buying.
Your decision
Do you want a clean experiment—or a broad multi-active formula?
If you cannot name the job, save the comparison and do not buy yet.
Evidence boundary
Educational cosmetic information. Structural hollows, sudden changes or eye symptoms warrant qualified assessment.
