Can retinol deliver the same results as microneedling to reduce pore size? (Photos)

loveepinkk
I am 30 years old. My main issue is enlarged pores on my face due to oily skin and maybe aging. I have two questions: 1. Can retinol deliver the same results as microneedling to reduce pore size? 2. I am looking at the SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 but it has alcohol denat as one of the main ingredients. Is this problematic?
