This clinical trial aims to learn about the efficacy of MLYAAT-1002® (a proprietary anti-aging complex, MLYAAT is short for "multi-layer anti-ageing technology" ) in female subjects who have newly received the rejuvenation treatment by comparing visual clinical scores, skin attributes measurement and image analysis.
The main expectations are: * After the 8-week continuous use of the test formulations with MLYAAT-1002® on one split-face side, the clinical manifestations and scores of photoaging improve compared to those of the control side using the placebo formulations. * After the 8-week continuous use of the test formulations with MLYAAT-1002®, indicators of skin tone, individual type angle (ITA), CIELAB color space, pores and wrinkles improve compared to those of the control side using the placebo formulations.

Each subject will receive a single treatment of the fractional picosecond laser, followed by the first application of the active comparator on the randomly assigned side of the split-face (the treatment side) on the same day, and sequently, will apply the active comparator to this side twice a day for 56 days.
