Cancelling your filler appointment because you bought a “filler in a stick”? That seems to be the recurring theme among paid influencers peddling Medicube’s PDRN Pink Collagen Volume Multi Balm, which contains volufiline. The evidence behind Volufiline’s “volume enhancing” claims however, is much less convincing than the marketing makes it sound. The commonly cited study looked at breast volume after twice daily use for 56 days, reporting a small 2.2 percent increase.
But breast volume can fluctuate with menstrual cycle, weight change and other factors, and these were not properly accounted for. More importantly, there is no good independent, peer reviewed evidence showing that Volufiline works as a topical filler on the face.
A balm can make skin look glossier, smoother or temporarily plumper because of hydration and light reflection. But that’s not the same as restoring facial volume.
