Redness and dryness on face first week into accutane?

llingg
Hi I've only been on accutane for 5 days and my entire face is extremely red, patchy and very dry. I've tried applying creamy moisturiser constantly but the redness doesn't go down. What's going on? Shall I continue the treatment? I'm on 20mg per day.
