Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a stable, water-soluble derivative of Vitamin C used in skincare for its antioxidant properties and potential to brighten skin and support collagen synthesis. It is generally considered gentler and less irritating than pure ascorbic acid.

| Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Sensitization to the ingredient is infrequently reported. |
