It should be safe to have a photofacial treatment done while using Proactiv. You may also see some more improvement for your acne after your photofacial treatment.

Photofacials and Proactiv

It is safe to have photofacials with intense pulsed light while using Proactiv. Stop the Proactiv the day before your photofacial and resume it 2 days afterwards, or wait longer if you have any crusting.

Yes.

Thank you for your question. You should have no problem getting a Photofacial while on Proactiv. There is nothing in their solution that should make you more sensitive to the procedure, or, make the procedure less effective. In fact, Photofacials may have a beneficial effect on acne that may enhance the results that you are getting from Proactiv. Hope this helps!
