Seems to me you chose the wrong tool for the job. The image is already processed and not the best for the thing you wanted to do. You should not blame the tool. You should be more deliberate in choosing the right tool for the job. I can only upload five mages here, but I assure you these images were not possible to save with anything Gigapixels offers at this time. But HitPaw was able to salvage the images.
Furthermore, I often use more than one AI model or even tool and combine the images for best result, on the challenging examples. If Gigapixel can reconstruct jewelry or clothing better than faces than I’ll use that for everything but face and simply compositing it later in Photoshop.
Don’t blame the tools. Become better at understanding their strengths and weakness and when and where to use which tool for best results.
Speaking of tools, adding film grain to over processed smartphone faces helps bring back the illusion of texture. Its yet another tool one can use.
