Cons:
possible overdose since its fat soluble, not water soluble
i found a treatment online (which i believed worked mostly due to the vitamin A) that i decided to try which consisted of 50,000IU of vitamin A 3 times daily, along with zinc, niacin, and vitamin E. it cleared me up almost completely within a week and stayed that way for a month but then it seems i developed an immunity to the large amount of vitamin A. its a good, cheap product to try out, but i would suggest taking no more than 100,000IU a day

Pros:
Stoped acne all together. A cheap alternative to acne prevention
Cons:
Takes a little while to work
Vitamin A is used in perscriptive drugs such as Retin A and Accutane. Although I agree that it will cause liver damage if used excessively for more than a year, it is truly effective if used under a doctors care. I found that using Vitamin A cleared up the problem quickly and effectively. I would reccomend this treatment along with Vitamin C and E and a diet full of veggies/fruit and lots of water.

Pros:
Skin less oily. Didn't do much on my acne since I just used it for a week.
Cons:
Using it for long period of time might cause liver problems.
I don't recomment using Vitamin A to cure acne. It is harmful and would cause liver damage if overdosed. It's safer than accutane, yes! but it's still not healthy. Think! die early with a beautiful face or live longer with scars/pimples on your face?

Pros:
none known
Cons:
Overdose
Please be very careful when taking Vitamin A. Unlike water-soluble vitamins, vitamin A cannot be urinated out of your body because it is stored in your fat. Because of this, it's possible to overdose on this stuff, especially when you take it everyday. I tried vitamin A supplements myself for about a month and found no difference. If you get your daily requirements, getting extra from a supplement is not going to help - it can only harm. Like Ashley from Texas experienced, no change is going to happen because you most likely get adequate amounts of vitamin A on a daily basis. Even if you don't, remember that vitamin is stored in your fat, so you do not need to continuously replenish it - you already have some reserved! Please be careful, and I hope we all come across some luck soon.

Pros:
Made skin a little less oily, cleared up some blackheads, and didnt wake up with white heads everymorning.
Cons:
Dried up lips big time, made my hair start falling out. No lie, I am 22 and my hair is thinning out and I Never had a problem untill the vitamin A. Be careful with this stuff, it is a little dangerous.
Sure it gave me minimal results, it did not clear my acne, it alleviated it a little, but then automatically came back as soon as I stopped taking it, then if I continued to take it, the more side effects I would get. It is too risky, not worth it. Try the regimen, that is the best thing that worked for me.

Pros:
Very cheap, very effective for cystic acne, much safer than Accutane or antibiotics
Cons:
Do not take over IU5000 if you are or could be pregnant! Drink extra water while taking.
I struggled with adult cystic acne for the past 4 years all along my jawline and cheeks. I spent thousands on dermatologists, tried at least 100 skin products, and took everything from antibiotics to home remedies. I even kept breaking out after using the Acne.org Regimen for 5 months. A diet change helped somewhat. But nothing seemed to stop new breakouts and extremely painful cysts from forming, one on top of the other. I would hide in the morning from my husband until I could put makeup on. I stopped wanting to go anywhere, disgusted with my face. I heard all sorts of advice, none of which helped. After reading that Accutane was similar to toxic doses of Vitamin A, I wondered if a small dose of Vitamin A would help. I started taking just IU10,000 every day. I am SHOCKED with the results. In 2 weeks, everything was level and calm. I still have scars, but NO new breakouts, and the scars are fading. If your problems sound like mine, I highly recommend Vitamin A!!

Pros:
Effective, relatively inexpensive, easy to use.
Cons:
Perhaps some side effects of large doses, but this could also be due to seasonal allergies.
This stuff seems to really work. After just a few days my moderate acne really cleared up. Although I don't yet know the long term implications of the regimen, so far it seems to be great. I started taking 90,000 IU for two days, then went to 20,000 IU from that point on.

Pros:
Cheap, convenient, and nobody asks questions as to why you keep popping pills -- it's just a vitamin!
Cons:
Have to remember to take a few pills a day.
This stuff is great. I use ~25,000iu per day (hoping to cut this to ~16,000 over time or less) and occasionally take zinc as well. I spread the doses out to avoid headaches (havent gotten one yet..). My acne history has been long: 2 accutane doses, both times the zits came back (on my face - not on my back where I used to have). I'm writing this review to help people: try the vitamin A supplement (but please be VERY careful if you're a girl!) as it mimics some of the effects of accutane, even at low doses (including the bad ones, like birth defects). Health & safety first, beauty second. I only get zits now after I go out drinking, which to be fair is pretty often ;) but they're much milder and clear up in a day. Definitely happy to have finally found a solution that works - what a relief. My total routine is (1) asprin mask (3x/wk); (2) vitamin A + occasional zinc; (3) honey mask 1x/wk.

Pros:
cleared up problematic chin acne
Cons:
none so far
I don't know if it's pure coincidence or what, but in the middle of a sudden, HORRIBLE break out, I went out and bought Vit. A supplements and I noticed a complete halt in my break outs. ... As of right now, this stuff is my best friend.

Pros:
Affordable, no prescription necessary, easy to get at local grocery store
Cons:
Possible liver damage if you take too much, can make you feel kind of sick if you ingest large quantities, dry skin
It did clear up partly for a month - then it went back to the way it was before. I think any dose high enough to have an effect similar to Accutane is also high enough to do some pretty nasty things to your body (liver damage, etc).
Pros:
cleared me up for about a month
