iVC™MGA is a very stable vitamin C derivative that focuses on acne skin and also pore reduction. It has anti-bacterial activity, i.e. anti-acne activity, against C. acnes, and controls sebum production by reducing 5 alpha-reductase production. Less sebum production allows pores to shrink back to their natural size and prevents pore-clogging. iVC™MGA boosts collagen production and inhibits melanin formation. It is 10% active. INCI name: Myristyl 3-glyceryl ascorbate (and) butylene glycol.
