MaxActivate™ VC (Ascorbic Acid Enzymatic Activator)

MaxActivate™ VC (Ascorbic Acid Enzymatic Activator)
Cosmetics Code: 126206

A next-generation enzyme-loaded bead system that delivers a precisely titrated dose of stabilised α-glucosidase inside an inert, moisture-protected matrix. When the beads are freshly dispersed in a 20 % Ascorbyl Glucoside (AA-2G) clear gel, they remain dormant until the moment of application.

A next-generation enzyme-loaded bead system that delivers a precisely titrated dose of stabilised α-glucosidase inside an inert, moisture-protected matrix. When the beads are freshly dispersed in a 20 % Ascorbyl Glucoside (AA-2G) clear gel, they remain dormant until the moment of application. Skin pressure ruptures the beads, instantly releasing the enzyme that hydrolyses AA-2G into free L-ascorbic acid (L-AA) directly on the epidermis.

Pure L-ascorbic acid is unrivalled for skin brightening, collagen stimulation and antioxidant defence, but it oxidises within hours in aqueous solutions above pH 3.5. By keeping vitamin C in the latent AA-2G form and triggering enzymatic conversion only after application, MaxActivate™ VC offers:



Challenge Conventional AA-2G gels MaxActivate™ VC system
Potency Limited in-skin conversion, variable results On-demand in-situ conversion driven by dosed enzyme
Stability Requires mildly acidic pH (~6) and still degrades over time Beads isolate enzyme; AA-2G remains stable until use
Irritation risk High concentrations of free L-AA can sting Vitamin C generated gradually over 6–8 h



Benefits of activated complex:


Benefit Mechanism Key literature
Brightening / anti-melanin L-AA inhibits tyrosinase and dopaquinone, reducing melanin synthesis Mikailov, 2021; Pullar et al., 2017 (PMC, Healthline)
Collagen boost & wrinkle reduction Stimulates pro-collagen I & III transcription; protects existing collagen from MMP-1 Pullar et al., 2017; Nature Sci Rep 2020 (PMC, Nature)
Antioxidant & photoprotection Scavenges ROS; regenerates vitamin E; with vitamin E doubles UV-MED Linus Pauling Institute, 2017; Lin & Murray, 2003 (PubMed, Linus Pauling Institute)
Barrier support & wound healing Promotes ceramide synthesis and accelerates dermal repair Nishigori et al., 2019 (PMC)




  • “Fresh-Release Vitamin C Technology”

  • “7 % active vitamin C delivered in 6 h”

  • “Brighter tone in 14 days† – clinical self-assessment”

  • “Potency of pure vitamin C with the stability of a derivative”



† Based on twice-daily use of 20 % AA-2G gel + MaxActivate™ VC beads, n = 22, TEWL-normalised ΔL* measurement.



You must purchase both component. Both components are to be mixed together at ratio of:

1. MaxActivate VC Beads One Part

2. 20% Ascorbyl Glucoside Gel, Stabilized Preparation Two Part



For example: You will need 30g of MaxActivate VC Beads dispersed in 60g of 20% Ascorbyl Glucoside Gel, Stabilized Preparation

This will yield total 90gram of formulation that can gradually release 7% Ascorbic Acid into skin after 6hrs, and 8% after 8hrs.



Usage: Can be used in all types of Whitening, Anti-aging products.

Mixing method: Disperse in gel, see detail above

Usage rate: See detail above

Product characteristics: Light colored gel beads

Solubility: Can disperse in gel

Storage: For long-term storage Store in the refrigerator, temperature 5-15 °C, avoid light. At least 2 years old

INCI Name : Water, Algin, Alpha Glucosidase, Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin
