More About MAP (Magnesuim Ascorbyl Phosphate) Vitamin C

MAP is a water-soluble derivative of vitamin C that is rapidly gaining popularity in skin care. It’s stand-out features are that it’s non-irritating, and it’s more stable than L-ascorbic acid. Research is also finding that it appears to be just as effective as ascorbic acid in the stimulation of collagen production.

Overall, MAP appears to be a better choice than L-ascorbic acid vitamin C for people with sensitive skin and those wishing to avoid any concomitant exfoliating effects. Other vitamin C formulas can be highly acidic and therefore produce exfoliation.

MAP vitamin C has been widely used in various cosmetics and quasi-drugs because of its advantageous properties such as inhibitory effects on melanogenesis, promotion of collagen synthesis, and prevention of lipid peroxidation. MAP plays an important role in preventing dry skin, sunburn, chloasma and ephelides, and in keeping the skin healthy and young. MAP is a phosphate ester, therefore, it is easily hydrolyzed to ascorbic acid in the skin by enzymes (phosphatase), and it shows physiological and pharmacological activities.

 

A higher priced active ingredient, but in this case, we feel it is definitely worth the additional cost. 

 

Usage: Apply a few drops to clean skin in the morning, immediately after bathing or washing face. Wait 5-10 minutes before applying other products.

Exp Date: This product should be used within 6 months of purchase date and stored preferably away from direct light.

Thank you for your feedback on the pump, Donna. Customers do not always tell us when they have issues like this, so we appreciate you taking the time to do so. We will let our production team know about that right away.

Feels good on

I received my packaged today and couldn't wait to try it out. I was very pleasantly surprised. Looking at the ingredients I was afraid it would be greasy or oily like other Vitamin C products I have used, but it is not. It is white and creamy and doesn't feel at all oily or sticky. Now we wait to see if it works.

Recommended by Aesthetician

This product was recommended to me by an aesthetician that does my facials. I have not seen a visible difference, but I trust her judgement. I have put this on auto renew and I use it regularly. Very easy to apply.

Great for sensitive skin

I had a bad itchy rash break out from another product. Looked on line and read that vitamin magnesium C was the best for sensitive skin. I’ve been using various types of vita C on my face for yrs due to light skin sun damage. It’s kept my skin healthier and younger and helped lower skin damage ,cancer , from my face. This product of magnesium c really helps and I have no rash or break outs with it. I highly recommend if you have sensitive sun damage skin.

Q: Your MAP Vitamin C Serum and Instant Tightening Serum - Extra Strength 8% DMAE BOTH say to apply them first. Which one really needs to be first in thus combo? I also use a CQ10 serum and matrixyl 3000 in the morning. Is it ok to use all 4 of these togehter and if so, in what order should they be applied.
Answers (1)
Babyface 07/21/2024
A: With this unique combo, I would apply the Tightening Serum, then the MAP Serum immediately after. Can you alternate these, and use the Matrixyl 3000 and CoQ10 in the evening? That is what I recommend. If not, then I would apply them in this order: I would apply the Tightening, then the MAP. The Matrixyl 3000 and CoQ10 immediately after.

Q: Why are there so many oils in this? Won’t that clog pores? Isn’t avacado oil comedogenic?
Answers (1)
Babyface 02/17/2023
A: Hello there! Oils in skincare are there for good reason. Without them, your skin would be dry. When skin is dry, the barrier can also become compromised. Then, all havoc breaks loose. Think of skin and oils as bricks and mortar. The skin cells are the bricks, and the oil (lipids) are the mortar. Without the mortar holding them together the bricks can separate, allowing water to escape (transepidermal water loss). Oils are necessary to help prevent this from happening, especially when you are using skin care products with actives that are known to be drying -- such as vitamin C. Avocado oil has a low comedogenic rating, therefore is unlikely to clog your pores. It is good for the skin, so this is the reason we include it in this serum. The beta carotene, protein, lecithin, fatty acids, and vitamins A, D, and E found in avocado oil help moisturize and protect your skin from damaging UV rays and also increase collagen metabolism. Studies have found that the linoleic acid, oleic acid, and other monosaturated fatty acids in avocado oil can also speed up wound healing, so it's effective for treating micro-injuries to the skin, and calming inflammation. It has even been shown effective on eczema and plaque psoriasis. That's all pretty amazing. Sometimes, nature is just hard to beat! :)

Q: Hi, I purchased this product about a year ago and never got around to using it. I have just opened it. Does the expiration began after once opened or once received ?
Answers (1)
Babyface 09/28/2022
A: Keeping it tightly closed does help extend the shelf life. If you use it within 3 months now that it's opened it should be just fine.

Q: I bought this item yesterday, but I don't know how to use this one, shall I apply it every night, like a daily basis? or a few times a week only? I am extremely sensitive skin if the skin gets irritated then my pigmentation was worse, so please teach me how to properly use this item. I sent a message yesterday, but no one responded yet. So, this is my 2 nd time message.
Answers (1)
Babyface 08/11/2022
A: Hi there! You can use this daily, in the morning is usually when it's applied. If your skin is ultra sensitive, then we recommend to use it every other day for a week or two, then slowly work up to daily use. It is not as irritating as other vitamin C serums can be though, so I think you will really like it. Please check your spam folder, our customer service did respond to your e-mail yesterday in detail about how to use your new products. Please let us know if we can assist further.

Q: Is this product completely fragrance free?
Answers (1)
Babyface 07/12/2021
A: As with almost all of the products we offer, there are no perfumes or fragrances added to this serum. The ingredients themselves have slight scents to them though.

This particular serum will smell lightly of sweet rose as you first apply it - but it dissipates very quickly. It is not a perfume though, it comes from the rose distillate.
