Description du produit

Sérum à l'huile antioxydante pour une protection contre la pollution et une luminosité optimale

  • Protège la peau de la pollution urbaine et du stress environnemental
  • Illumine le teint grâce à la vitamine C, à la niacinamide et à la racine de réglisse
  • Texture légère qui pénètre rapidement sans laisser de gras
  • Riche en huiles botaniques qui soutiennent la barrière lipidique de la peau

City est un sérum protecteur léger formulé pour lutter contre les effets visibles des facteurs environnementaux tout en illuminant et revitalisant le teint. Cette émulsion huileuse cible les problèmes spécifiques de la peau en milieu urbain grâce à un mélange d'antioxydants et d'agents éclaircissants. Sa formule offre une protection sans alourdir, ce qui la rend adaptée à tous les types de peau et particulièrement bénéfique pour les peaux exposées à la pollution.

Ce sérum associe des huiles végétales riches en acides gras essentiels qui contribuent au maintien de la barrière lipidique cutanée. L'huile de son de riz offre une base stable et non comédogène, tandis que les huiles de graines de chanvre, de caméline, de framboise et de canneberge apportent des profils d'acides gras complémentaires et des antioxydants naturels. L'hémisqualane d'origine végétale améliore l'étalement et l'absorption sans laisser de résidus.

Les propriétés éclaircissantes de City proviennent de la vitamine C (sous forme d'ascorbate de tétrahexadécyle stable), de la niacinamide et de l'extrait de racine de réglisse, des ingrédients reconnus pour réduire l'hyperpigmentation, unifier le teint et rehausser l'éclat. Ces composants agissent ensemble pour atténuer le teint terne dû à l'exposition environnementale, aux réactions inflammatoires et au vieillissement naturel, sans provoquer d'irritation.

Ce sérum intègre un système antioxydant complet. Outre les vitamines C et E, sa formule intègre des extraits botaniques spécifiques, dont la feuille d'olivier, l'edelweiss et le sureau, qui offrent une protection à large spectre contre divers facteurs environnementaux. Cette approche multi-facettes neutralise les radicaux libres et renforce les mécanismes de protection de la peau, réduisant ainsi sa réactivité et favorisant sa santé à long terme.

Utilisation de ce Serum et Oil

Faites-en l'expérience

City possède une texture légère et soyeuse qui glisse sans effort sur la peau avant d'être rapidement absorbée, laissant un fini frais et non gras, agréablement hydratant. Ses notes croquantes d'épinette noire et d'achillée millefeuille bleue offrent un bref instant de fraîcheur inspirée de la forêt à l'application. Dès son absorption, la peau paraît immédiatement plus lumineuse, avec un éclat naturel et sain, tout en étant confortablement protégée et nourrie. C'est la base idéale pour le maquillage ou la touche finale idéale d'une routine de soins minimaliste.

Comment l'utiliser

Un produit idéal à superposer toute l'année. Intégrez City à votre routine matinale en appliquant 2 à 5 gouttes sur une peau légèrement humide après le nettoyage et l'application de sérums à base d'eau. Appliquez délicatement plutôt que de frotter pour favoriser l'absorption et stimuler la circulation. Pour une protection renforcée en milieu urbain, appliquez City sous votre crème solaire quotidienne afin de créer un système de défense complet contre les rayons UV et les particules de pollution. Pendant les transitions saisonnières ou les voyages, lorsque la peau a tendance à devenir réactive, utilisez City comme hydratant principal matin et soir pour apaiser la sensibilité tout en maintenant une hydratation équilibrée. Pour une nutrition optimale, mélangez une goutte à votre fond de teint pour un fini lumineux et protégé qui combat les agressions extérieures tout au long de la journée. Peau sèche ? City se marie parfaitement avec Equinox !

Pourquoi vous en avez besoin

Contrairement aux crèmes protectrices lourdes et étouffantes, ou aux produits éclaircissants mono-action sans propriétés défensives, City offre une protection complète contre les éléments tout en améliorant activement le teint et la luminosité. L'équilibre intelligent de sa formule, composé d'antioxydants liposolubles et d'agents éclaircissants en phase aqueuse, assure protection et réparation simultanées, ce qui le rend particulièrement adapté aux modes de vie actifs où l'efficacité des soins est primordiale. Que vous soyez confrontée à la pollution urbaine, au teint terne saisonnier ou que vous cherchiez simplement à préserver la vitalité de votre peau face aux agressions quotidiennes, City offre une protection essentielle dans une texture universellement attrayante et véritablement agréable à utiliser.

Ingrédients clés de CITY: Huile antioxydante à la vitamine C

Licorice Extract (Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract)

A serious brightening ingredient that works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for excess pigmentation. Also anti-inflammatory, so it tackles dark spots and redness simultaneously. Gentle enough for sensitized skin.

Vitamin C Tetrahexyldecyl (THD) Ascorbate

An oil-soluble, ultra-stable form of vitamin C that doesn't sting, Tetrahexyldecyl (THD) Ascorbate doesn't oxidize quickly, and doesn't depend on a low pH to work. Penetrates deeper into skin than L-ascorbic acid and brightens, protects, and supports collagen without any of the irritation.

Hemisqualane

A lightweight plant-derived emollient that mimics your skin's own lipids. Absorbs instantly without greasiness, leaving skin smooth and soft. Also helps other ingredients penetrate more effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can vitamin C serum cause breakouts?

Traditional vitamin C serums can cause breakouts in some people due to low pH formulations or unstable forms that oxidize quickly. City uses tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate — an oil-soluble, stable form of vitamin C that works at a skin-friendly pH and doesn't trigger the irritation or congestion associated with L-ascorbic acid. It's non-comedogenic and suitable for acne-prone skin.

Can vitamin C serum cause redness or irritation?

L-ascorbic acid, the most common vitamin C form, requires a low pH to be effective and frequently causes stinging, redness, or peeling — especially on sensitive skin. City uses tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate instead, which is oil-soluble, pH-independent, and penetrates deeper without irritation. It brightens and protects without any of the reactivity that puts people off vitamin C serums.

Does vitamin C serum expire or go bad?

Yes — most vitamin C serums use L-ascorbic acid, which oxidizes quickly when exposed to light and air, turning orange and losing effectiveness. City uses tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a stable oil-soluble form that doesn't degrade the same way. Stored away from direct sunlight, City maintains its potency significantly longer than conventional vitamin C formulas.

What does a brightening serum do?

A brightening serum targets uneven skin tone, dullness, and hyperpigmentation using ingredients that interrupt melanin production or neutralize the oxidative damage that causes skin to look tired. City combines vitamin C, niacinamide, and licorice root extract — three brightening pathways working simultaneously — alongside a full antioxidant system that protects against the pollution and UV exposure that cause dullness in the first place.

When should you use vitamin C serum in your routine?

Morning is ideal — vitamin C is an antioxidant that neutralizes free radical damage from UV and pollution throughout the day, so it works best as a preventative layer before sunscreen. Apply City after cleansing and any water-based serums, then follow with SPF. It can also be used in the evening, and pairs well with a hydrating serum applied underneath.

What are free radicals in the skin?

Free radicals are unstable molecules missing an electron. To stabilize themselves, they take electrons from healthy skin cells, setting off a chain reaction that can damage collagen, cell membranes, and DNA along the way. Skin produces them constantly — UV exposure, urban pollution, and normal metabolism are the main sources — and when they outpace the skin's own defenses, the result is oxidative stress, which shows up as dullness, uneven tone, and premature signs of aging. Antioxidants like vitamins C and E help by donating an electron to a free radical without becoming unstable themselves, which interrupts the chain reaction. City's antioxidant system is built around exactly this.

A welcome reformulation

I occasionally switch the products I use in rotation up so it had been a while since I’d ordered city. I recently started using it again and am so amazed at the consistency of the new (to me) formulation. It goes on really evenly and feels like it is working against the elements my skin faces. I don’t think I’ll be taking this product out of my rotation anytime soon.

Love it!

This is my first time ordering City, and I just love it. I've never used a serum instead of a traditional cream, and was pretty skeptical that it (1) wouldn't do a good job, and (2) would look oily on my naturally oily, Italian skin. I was dead wrong on both counts. This oil absorbs quickly and easily, and leaves me with a nice glow that seems to last all day. I use it at night, mixed with Equinox, and in the mornings on its own.

I love my Stark facial products

I love my Stark daytime facial routine of Petrichlor toner, Equinox serum, and City day oil. I have used City regularly for years and it’s an adaptable oil that works well for me in all seasons, winter to summer. It feels protective and nourishing but also not too heavy. I also love the scent. It gives a woodsy, peaceful effect, and evokes forest bathing. My combination 40-something skin loves this. I layer sun protection on top.

Simple to use, feels great on

Live in the mountains in a small town but find this a great day to remove a layer of product in my day to day routine, goes on smooth and leaves your face feeling hydrated! Been a great seasonal switch from equinox! Love the brand. Could make some routines difficult as it's a thicker feel to get used to.

Nice day serum

I use this before makeup and heading out to work. Moist coverage and makeup goes on well after absorption. I sometimes use on my day off as well just as barrier to keep my skin feeling good at home.

Hydrating With A Subtle Glow

Hydrates face while giving you a soft glow. A great daytime serum and you only need to use a very small amount.

Best Vit C

I have honestly never been able to use a Vit C product for any length of time, and I have tried many! I’ve always ended up with irritated, sensitive skin and was fully expecting that with this product. To my huge surprise, I have been using City for a month now with zero irritation, absolutely none. It is a lovely texture and colour and not at all greasy, which will make it particularly good in the summer.
This is a really amazing product and I would encourage anyone on the fence to give it a try.
Thank you, Jess!

First time with the new City; loving it!

I had not gotten City oil since the updated formula, and I was pleasantly surprised! I love the smell and the texture and how it feels to apply.

This is a versatile product that can be applied morning or evening. It feels great!

Gorgeous scent and consistency

This oil serum feels like such a luxury to use—I look forward to the fresh, bright scent with deep earthy undertones every time I wash my face. It sits beautifully u see my sunscreen and causes no sensitivity or irritation. Love and will order again!

Perfect

I love City! This is my first Vitamin C, and I absolutely love how it's impacted my skin over my first few weeks of use. I use City as my final skincare step (followed by sunscreen); it locks in moisture while immediately brightening and smoothing. I've noticed my pores appear blurred and clearer with ZERO irritation, which feels like a feat for my historically sensitive skin. I also love the herbaceous scent. Will repurchase many times over :)

Vitamin C without irritation

Love this oil for the light moisture and also vitamin C that doesn’t sting or cause my face to turn red. Hoping that some Melasma may fade in the coming months since I’m adding vitamin C back into my routine.

Still the best

Been using stark city oil almost daily for at least 2 years now and it's still the best facial oil I've ever come across. I have dry skin, prone to flaking and hyperpigmentation and city is the only oil I've tried that doesn't leave me too greasy, doesn't clog my pores or cause breakouts and helps lighten dark spots. My skin is a parched plant in the summer heat and this oil is my water. My skin drinks it right up and it leaves me feeling plump and hydrated for the whole day.

Refreshing and effective!

City is an excellent oil! I have combination skin and have had times when I break out a lot. My skin has really improved since I started using Stark products. This skin leaves my skin feeling refreshed!

Buy this.

I find all Stark products to be effective, gorgeous, non-irritating, (I have extremely sensitive [annoying] skin) and comparable in quality to many, many high-end mainstream products, but Stark is special; The quality isn't a gimmick or marketing scheme, it's real, and you can see it when you look in the mirror. And feel it. And smell it.
I would bathe in a tub full of Aurora Balm if I could. But I digress.
I have been using the CITY Light Oleo Serum for about two weeks and I never want to live without it again. The texture and the way it absorbs is perfect for daytime use. I have been working outside in the woods this summer, in shade and direct sun and 90-degree days with no breeze, and I have never been cognizant of the CITY serum on my face. It's not greasy or heavy, it doesn't get gross when I sweat, and it never feels drying. It also does very well under sunscreen or with other products on top of it. Brilliant work, Jess.

Great product, miss the smell of the old City

I wear City every day and love how it blends with other products and what it does for my skin. I feel almost naked without it now. Took off a star because I just started using the new formula and I miss the old scent, which seemed gentler and more subtle.

Green Magic Potion

I am hooked on this green magic potion. This is a repurchase for me. Jess reformulated this product and it’s beautiful! I feel it has transformed my skin and I can’t get enough. I see all the other products in my medicine cabinet but still reach over them for City!

Very nice

This oil is very light and sinks into the skin nicely. The only negative is that I find the scent a little over bearing.

So glad I tried this product, does not disappoint.

I was hesitant to try an oil for a moisturizer, as I have oily skin but am so happy I did. I love 'City', it is light and makes my skin feel properly hydrated in all seasons.

Wow, thank you!

Over the past months, I have been having difficulty with my skin. A friend suggested I try Stark. I can not say enough about these products. My skin is calm and no longer inflamed. It feels moisturized and not oily. I suggest these products to anyone looking for a holistic approach.

Just what my morning routine needed!

I was looking to add a little more moisture to my daily skin care regime for the hot dry summer. I already love Everlasting and when I saw Jess mixing in City, I thought why not give it a try. The oil is so moisturizing without feeling heavy. I also like how the fragrance blends for a light fresh scent. I will for sure be adding City to my regular order from Stark. Thanks for the recommendation Jess!
