Dryness is common with isotretinoin especially with 20mg and above.But it also depends on the other products you are using on face along with tablet.Make sure you are using just a plain cleanser to wash face,sunscreen in morning and moisturiser frequently.. Consult online with pics so that extent of redness and dryness can be evaluated properly
