What happened

Pump up the volume — and I’m not talking about music but a topical that may be the fix to your sunken, sad-looking skin.

Why it matters

Volufiline, a cosmetic ingredient engineered from a plant root called anemarrhena asphodeloides, has been slowly gaining buzz amongst beauty editors and across social platforms for its ability to plump skin — naturally.

Common ground

It works by stimulating fat cells, which I know might give you pause if you lived through the toxic 90s and Y2K-era.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
