Why We Love Eyes Uses CITYSTEM™ Active for Eye Cream Formulation and What the Benefits Are for Your Eyelid Skin

 

Modern day stressors on the delicate eyelid skin is a concern for my patients. Pollution, the sun, computer screens, phones, lack of sleep - these are all modern day stressors that can create fatigued and dull looking eyes. CITYSTEM™ is an active that addresses both environmental and screen light pollution damage. 

You can find CITYSTEM™ in my eye cream formulation, Urbaneyes™ Hyaluronic Defense Eye Glass®.

What Is CITYSTEM™ Active?

 

CITYSTEM™ is a 100% natural, plant-derived active from Croda. It earned the PCHi Fountain Award for Outstanding Active Ingredient in 2017. In tests, it restored autophagic functions altered by pollution, helping detoxify skin cells and maintain a smooth, flawless appearance.

How CITYSTEM™ Protects Eyelid Skin

 

Defense Against Pollution

CITYSTEM™ shields the eyelid skin from airborne pollutants and blue light emitted by screens. It forms a protective barrier that helps prevent cellular damage.

 

Restoration of Cellular Autophagy

By restoring autophagic activity, CITYSTEM™ helps eyelid cells clear out toxins. The result is healthier, more resilient eyelid skin that looks smooth and radiant over time.

 

Improved Texture and Radiance

Regular use of CITYSTEM™ refines eyelid skin grain and makes blackheads less visible. It leaves the eyelid area feeling soft, smooth, and purified.

 

 

Ingredient Transparency

CITYSTEM™ is the brand name of the active. On our ingredient list, you will find it listed as Glycerin (and) Marrubium Vulgare Extract. This combination enhances both moisture balance and environmental defense.

 

Glycerin is a humectant, a type of moisturizing agent that pulls water into the outer layer of your eyelid skin from deeper levels and the air.

Marrubium Vulgare Extract is an extract from the Horehound plant (Marrubium Vulgare L, Lamiaceae) which belongs to the mint family. It soothes sensitive and dry eyelid skin (e.g. from sun exposure) and also helps to reduce and calm eyelid skin irritations (e.g. from skin care products such as sunscreen).

More about Marrubium Vulgare Extract, The Horehound Plant



SOOTHES AND CALMS EYELID SKIN


Marrubium vulgare extract is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which help to reduce redness, irritation, and itching. This makes it a valuable ingredient for my patients with sensitive skin types. 



PROTECTS AGAINST ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE


Probably the best feature. It's rich in antioxidants that can help protect the eyelid skin from damage caused by pollution and free radicals. 



ANTI-MICROBIAL ACTIVITY


Exhibits potent antimicrobial properties, making it a valuable ingredient for eyecare applications. Studies have shown that the extract possesses antimicrobial activity against various bacteria and fungi, including Gram-postiive and Gram-negative bacteria. 



IMPROVES EYELID SKIN APPEARANCE


Got rough looking and feeling eyelid skin? Some studies suggest that it can help refine the skin's texture and improve overall vitality.



WOUND HEALING


It may also possess wound healing properties which I think is important for damaged and/or stressed eyelid skin barriers from long hours outdoors.
