Is there a way to improve bad skin texture from over exfoliation? Microneedling? (photos)

Two months ago I over-exfoliated my skin with BHA2% and exfoliation pad. Woke up with waxy face and open and swollen pores all over my face. Skin doesn't feel sensitive anymore, but I'm left with weird porous texture and skin almost feels like it's still missing a layer of skin. I would like to know if there are any treatment options for this (other than laser). I don't expect my skin to go back to way it was, but some improvement would be nice.
