Christmas 2016/17 I had a bad breakout at 21. Lymecycline and zineryt lotion cleared me completely and kept me clear for about 6-8 months.

Christmas 2017/18 I have relapsed. Acne is nearly worse now!

So far I've had

lymecycline
lymecycline + Skinoren
oxytetracycline + zineryt
minocycline + differin (took a horrible reaction)

I've also tried epiduo, duac, salicylic acid washes.

Currently I am awaiting a derm app. which is in 2 weeks. Current regimen:

Acne.org cleanser
La Roche moisturiser
vitamin a, c, d, e
zinc

since my reaction to mino, my acne has become less inflamed but I am still constantly getting pimples (22yo, 23 in a few months)

anything else to try? Don't want to go on Accutane but I need clear in 6 months time.

Thanks

I'm also talking about moderate breakouts, not just a pimple here or there. Nodules, pustules, white heads etc.

I think you might have tried everything except for the hollistic stuff, which works for alot of people. I would advice to cut out dairy.
