Meanwhile in Taiwan, Chin & Hwa Cosmetics launched the GT.S.C 2 Super Upgrade Revival Silk Mask. Containing the magnesium additive, this mask is said to whiten, repair and moisturize the skin.

In the United States, Clinique Derma White Moisture Milk for Combination Oily to Oily Skin lists magnesium ascorbyl phosphate as one of its key ingredients. The product was specifically formulated for Asian skin types. The product is said to “instantly, and over time, brighten the visible signs of UV damage.” This product uses Clinique’s patent-pending IPF technology.

Consumers in Argentina can purchase the Avon Anew Clinical Laser Antiaging Cream, featuring the signature ingredient. This product highlights triple-pulse technology to reduce the appearance of broken capillaries, lighten the appearance of skin discolorations, and improve the appearance of hyper-pigmentation.

One last example of a product using magnesium ascorbyl phosphate is Soraya’s Lemon, Cucumber and Vitamin E Hand Cream. This product can be found in Poland and is actually a whitening and smoothing hand cream.
