I'm dealing with pimples and these small holes on my face. I talked to a dermatologist, and they suggested Adapalene gel and Opexa gel. I've been using the Adapalene gel, and it's helping with the pimples, but the holes aren't getting any better. I haven't started using the Opexa gel yet. Should I try it out to see if it helps with those holes?
