Is tret just not for me?

I started with tret and aza because of my stubborn ccs. I was using 0.025 cream for 2.5 months and there would be one or two new ccs popping up everyday. Everyone suggested that I try the gel but my derm said it's gonna be irritating on my skin instead go for the microsphere gel. So I have been using microsphere gel for good 3 weeks and my face is back to square one where I started - textured and full of comodones. Is tret just not for me? What should I do? (Also it's not any of the products I use in my routine because I've showed it to my derm and also went through the pore clogging websites and everything is clean) Am- rinse with water, aza 15% , aqualogica ceramide and avocado moisturizer, dermaco 1% hyaluronic aqua gel SPF Pm- simple kind to skin facewash, tret microsphere gel 0.025%, dot and key barrier repair moisturizer. I use bha twice a week replacing tret
