Volufiline isnt even real?? All a scam (GTFIH - Good Post I found on reddit on why volufiline is BS)

[Tranqo]

Volufiline is a trending skincare ingredient, popular on TikTok. It can supposedly grow fat tissue on areas such as undereyes (to hide dark circles), smile lines, or even breasts or buttocks.
The bottle is sold on Amazon and it is supposedly developed by a French chemist company called Sederma. The alleged research says that good responders can get almost 10% volume increase.
I went down a research rabbit hole, at the end of which I came to the conclusion that all this is a scam by dropshippers to sell this specific bottle on Amazon.
What I found:

1. Sederma no longer exists, as it was acquired by Croda Beauty. Croda beauty does mention volufiline in its eye serum formulations, but a bottle being sold today that has 100% volufiline under the brand name "Sederma" makes no sense in this context.
2. The research paper that can be found online (which starts by a strange flowery prose on how big breasts are attractive) is from 2006. If there was a formulation 20 years ago that could grow breasts by 10%, why would it not be more widely available?
3. There is no real reporting on it anywhere. Think about how many articles are on ingredients such as retinols, or even fat injections and other cosmetic procedures. Why not this one?
4. Why is no other brand in the world producing this product if there is research on how to grow fat tissue from 20 years ago? Skincare companies are like fast fashion retailers now. When retinols started trending, they showed up in drugstore. Same with vit C. The research paper that can be found online actually says that Loreal has already patented volufiline with spf and something else in a formulation. Why would they sit on this for 20 years if there was a smidgeon of proof it worked?

In conclusion: I think some company in China made this product based on some wording by a chemist company's brochure from 20 years ago. Now TikTok influencers are convincing themselves (and you, and me) that it works.
Don't buy it! Who knows what is inside that amazon bottle. Don't put in in your eyes. And most of all, don't spend your precious time on earth looking for miniscule changes in the hollows of your eyes.

5. There are other sellers on marketplaces such as Yesstyle, tosowoong, etc... you guessed it, dropshippers. When you look up the original bottle's Amazon seller, it is a company based in South Korea. Despite having a French flag on the bottle, it has nothing to do with France. Actually, this entire rabbit hole started when I read a comment on TikTok from someone saying they cannot get a hold of it in France... how would that make sense? Who knows where and how this thing originated, but it makes sense that other sellers will hop on the bandwagon now.
6. Cell growth!!! I cannot believe I almost bought a completely unregulated product from a dropshipper and hoped it would cause a growth on my face.
7. Croda Beauty selling legitimate formulations, including matrixyl: Honestly, don't know enough about cosmetic chemistry and beauty industry to explain this one. But they do have a very comprehensive portfolio for all types of concerns, including "Vexel", which is supposed to have "firming and slimming" properties on the body. So, unless they also created a cream that can make you lose weight, which was also lost to history and effect was never replicated, I would say it is entirely within the realm of possibility they have a few duds in their portfolio.
