I’m so discouraged

I posted here a little while ago for help with my skin but I am STILL getting these little zits. They are tiny whiteheads mostly and some just red bumps. I feel like my skin improves and then I get these and then it improves and goes back. I typically have cystic acne and that has really been under control for awhile. I just want clear skin:(

My routine:
AM: vanicream gentle cleanser, byoma milky toner, avene cicalfate serum, vanicream daily moisturizer

PM: same as above except double cleansing with micellar water, ans I switch off nights using azaleic acid 10% and tretinoin. I do a hydrate night (no active), active night, hydrate night, active night and then repeat. Also when I use the actives I skip the milky toner.

I do feel like my skin is so much more hydrated and soft now but I’m still getting these little breakouts. Also to add I’ve been on tretinoin 0.5% for like 2 years and was using it every night. Started using it less due to these new skin problems
