My eyebags are killing me completely, giving me the rest to my shitty looks.
So of course, over the course of the last few months I've looked into the usage of Volufiline, what speaks against it would be the following:
Sure! Here's a clear list of everything that speaks against using Volufiline under the eyes, in English:
1. Extremely Delicate Skin Area:
The skin under your eyes is very thin and sensitive. Volufiline is not specifically designed for this area, and it could cause irritation, puffiness, or milia (tiny white bumps).
2. Risk of Unnatural Puffiness:
Volufiline promotes fat storage, which can lead to an overly swollen or bloated look under the eyes — especially if overused.
3. No Precision in Volume Placement:
You can't control exactly where the volume will build. Under-eye areas require precise, subtle treatment. Too much volume in the wrong spot can actually make you look more tired or aged.
4. Lack of Clinical Evidence:
Most studies on Volufiline come from the manufacturers themselves. There’s little independent clinical research proving its safety or effectiveness — especially for the under-eye area.
5. Long-Term Effects Unknown:
Since Volufiline is relatively new, we don’t really know how safe it is for long-term or repeated use on such delicate skin.
6. More Suitable Alternatives Exist:
Ingredients like peptides, low-dose retinol, caffeine, and hyaluronic acid are often better suited for the under-eye area — safer, more targeted, and proven to work in many cases.
I mean I've actually found some alternatives that offer a safer option, but I don't know what would simply be better. If you have tried anything / done anything please let us all know of your experience in the answers.
This list doesn't specify on low ingredients or something, I did not advice you to take them, I just present them to you and give you a short overview of what they advertise to do.
