Volufiline 92% + Pal-Isoleucine 1% — Reddit Reviews
by The Ordinary
Updated October 17, 2026
Palmitoyl isoleucine plumps lips and hollows subtly; results vary wildly and fade.
What the community says
A targeted plumping serum built around palmitoyl isoleucine and Anemarrhena asphodeloides root extract, mainly used on lips, smile lines, and hollows. Expect a slow, subtle payoff; sensitive under-eyes may sting, and results disappear after stopping.
