What is Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, and what does it do?
The simple explanation by Deciem
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate 10% (MAP) is a water-based, hydrating cream format that offers specific skin brightening benefits (more so than other derivatives of Vitamin C) in addition to the benefits generally offered by Vitamin C. MAP gets along well with other products and can be used as a hydrating cream to finish off your routine. MAP is incredibly gentle and a great choice for those who are not experienced Vitamin C users or those who prefer a cream.
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate Targets
- Dullness
- Uneven Tone
- Signs of Aging
- Antioxidant Support
When & How Do I Use Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate?
You can use this daily in the morning or evening. Apply directly to your skin or after water-based products. As Deciem says, this could be used as a hydrating cream at the end of your routine.
Which products can and can´t be used with Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate?
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a derivative and originally had no conflicts, but now Deciem has said that the Vitamin C derivatives should not be used in the same routine as Niacinamide Serum and powder. If you are new to skincare, choosing one of the Vitamin C derivatives would make a great choice as it has the least conflicts.
Reviews of The Ordinary Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate
Tracy Cherow, I loved it! A gentle Vitamin C, easy to apply, but didn’t always play nicely under makeup. Awesome texture, and I was strangely obsessed with the smell 🤔😍
Jen Crampton This is the vitamin C I recommend to anyone starting out or worried about conflicts. It gets along with most products and is lovely under makeup. For some, it will suffice as a moisturiser.
A great intro to vitamin c 🍊🍊🍊
Nia Patten, It’s really lovely. Like an antioxidant moisturiser. My favourite.
Helen, I love this. No need for extra moisturiser, so MAP with a drop of resveratrol & ferulic acid and, followed by SPF. Nice and simple.

SN says: It has helped my skin since day one. I absolutely love it!
VC says: It’s great. I mix it with The Ordinary Pycnogenol
MC says: I’ve been using it for two months as a light moisturiser for the day, and I think it has evened out my skin tone a bit… or maybe it’s just my imagination😆. Has a funny smell to it, though.
DN says: I have been using it for approx 6 weeks and love it. My skin looks brighter, but I don’t know if it’s the MAP or all the products I have incorporated. It’s my last step in my morning routine before SPF.
CD says: Wanted to love it but does nothing special for me
