Title.

Don't have access to tret in my country as it isn't prescribed. What is the next best option?

these are some, there’s not really a fair comparison with other skincare stuff though, tret is top tier. although if you really don’t want to use it:
glycolic acid
adapalene
azelaic acid
bakuchiol

Tretinoin isn't a controlled substance. You can buy it for like 20 US dollars per tube online. Go on R/tretinoin on reddit and look for an online store that ships to your nation.

Acne and acne scars mainly.

since i live in scandinavia the shit is somehow illegal to sell. Found some scetchy looking tret for $150 for 20g, Worth to try?
Get retinol then, it's strength is 1:10-1:20 that of tretinoin. You can get 2-5% solution that will have a similar effect on your skin.

150 for a 20g tube is a total scam. dont buy it.

It takes months before results shine through. I would still get regular pimple breakouts until after 3 months of use (tretinoin).

I use 0.1% concentration, so aim for 1-2% for comparable results as me.

Diet and lots of sunlight. Liver, grass-fed beef, blackstrap molasses, whole eggs and green wild herbs. Also fasting.
 
Acne and acne scars mainly.
Glycolic acid and Salicylic acid for exfoliation

Hydroquinone for post-acne pigmentation

Benzoyl Peroxide for acne but might not help.

Retinol is cope, don't waste your time.

Just go to any third-world country like Turkey and buy it there
