Ive been using tret for like 2 weeks My acne improved drastically but blackheads on my nose and acne scars(mostly on nose, few on cheeks) are completely same as before. Please suggest some other things to use alongside tret or inplace of tret mainly for blackheads and acne scars.

mr beast said his blackheads literally fell off when using accutane. maybe try isotret? i finished my accutane course and i used tret for patch treatment the whole time, so maybe u could do that too?

Two weeks is too early to judge. Tret clears inflamed acne first and blackheads last, that's usually the 8-12 week mark.

Witch hazel won't touch them. Salicylic acid 2-3x a week alongside tret is the thing that speeds it up. Scars are a separate problem, tret barely moves those.
