Treatments tested in this trial
Deep Microspicule Cream
Other intervention"A topical cream (Deep Microspicule Cream) utilizing patented crystal microspicule technology to encapsulate Penghu seaweed extracts (including Caulerpa microphysa, Sargassum hemiphyllum, and Botryocladia leptopoda). These ingredients possess potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and collagen-promoting properties. Participants will apply a green-bean-sized amount of the cream strictly to the randomly assigned intervention side of the face (left or right). The cream should be massaged gently on the designated side to allow the microspicules to roll on the skin surface (avoiding harsh rubbing). This application regimen is to be performed three times per week (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays) at night after facial cleansing, for a total duration of 28 days."
