Dermaroller stimulates collagen deposition and remodelling of skin

Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through the description and have checked the attached image. The answers to your queries are:
1) Yes, you can continue using retino a 0.05 from today.
2) You should was your face frequently with plain water. You may also use some face scrub or face wash a occasionally.
3) The fine needle holes are to stimulate collagen deposition. The holes will fill up. You need not worry. Be patient. Acne is due to oily skin and you need to reduce the oiliness. Washing frequently with plain water is the best solution.

Brief Answer:
You may try the adhesive tape method for whitehead removal.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.

Try to gentry squeeze and see if the white heads come out. Adhesive tape method may be tried. Other than these, washing face with plain water is all you need to do. Whiteheads are collections of sebum, an oily secretion of the skin. When the mouth of these glands gets blocked with dirt and when they get infected, acne result. That is the reason of my suggesting frequent washing of the face.
