[Acne]27M tried everything except accutane. Pics inside

Beauty Tips For Body Care
So this is generally what my skin looks like: http://imgur.com/a/cnSoAMy routine atm is wash with cerave hydrating cleanser in the AM, zinc soap in the PM, epiduo once a day (twice a day on days that my skin can handle it, per the dermatologists instructions) and I take lymecycline antibiotics every day.In the past I have tried pretty much all over the counter meds, salicylic acid, benxoyl peroxide, sulphur, zinc cream, tea tree oil etcI have tried paleo diet, cutting out dairy and bread, stopped using whey protein powder for a while, zinc supplements.I've also tried the oil cleansing method and the caveman regimen (this one ruined my skin for months...)Prescription meds I've tried are: zineryt topical antibiotic, duac (benzoyl peroxide + clindamicin), differin, treclin (topical tretinoin + clindamicin), epiduo.In the UK epiduo is pretty much the strongest topical acne med there is, we can't get tretinoin cream anymore and we don't get the stronger 0.3% differin or epiduo, my GP or derm won't prescribe me tazorac either as they say it isn't for acne.I'm at a loss of what to do now, I realise there's accutane but I'm fairly active and the side effects scare me (particularly the joint pain and bowel disease ones).Any ideas of other things I could try would be very helpful, I am thinking of trying vitamin B5 supplements since those supposedly help with acne but other than that I'm at a loss :/
