I Tried An Anti-Acne Pillowcase For 30 Days (My Results)
I Tried An Anti-Acne Pillowcase For 30 Days (My Results)
Taylor Collins  Mar 09, 2021 · 2 min read
Do you feel like you've tried everything to get rid of your acne but still see blemishes? 

After hitting my 20s, I thought my acne would clear up. Wrong! 

I'm now almost 30 and my skin is still looks angrier than a mumma bear protecting her cubs.

After trying every lotion and potion with mixed results (and a severely depleted bank account), I had resigned myself to mediocre skin.

Facebook knew this, of course, and conveniently served me with an ad for an "anti-acne" pillowcase.

Classic Facebook.

I'm no dermatologist or skin expert... 

But I know that our environment (and by extension, what our faces spend on 1/3rd of their lives on) can make a HUGE difference to our skin.

(Note: I was surprised to see they have a lot of press and actually decent reviews)

So, a little intrigued, fairly skeptical, & mostly desperate, I decided to give the Silvi "anti-acne" pillowcase a go.

30 days later, the verdict's in. 

Here are 3 reasons (plus two bonuses) why I believe anybody with acne or skin blemishes needs this pillowcase...

REDUCES ACNE TRIGGERS
By eliminating 99.7% of acne-causing bacteria
Normal cotton pillowcases are proverbial petri dishes. After just 3 days, they can have 1000x MORE bacterial than a toilet seat *cue collective cringe* 

(Never mind the dust mites and fungi that can build up too!)

A world FIRST, Silvi's silk is treated natural, antibacterial silver ions. The silvers bind to and eliminate 99.7% of bacteria (specifically, Cutibacterium acnes & Staphylococcus aureus) known to cause clogged pores, acne and breakouts - freakin' genius! 

It's been lab-tested, has zero chemicals or nasties and works for all skin types.

For me, I immediately was waking up with less inflammation and redness particularly around my cheeks.
*One of their customer's results I found. Incredible.
IMPROVES SKINCARE PRODUCTS
By preventing their absorption into the pillow
I didn't know this but cotton's apparently a SUPER absorbent material. During the night, it can soak up your skincare products, not only making them less effective but also creating a moist (read: perfect) environment for - you guessed it - bacteria, dust mites & fungi.

Fun fact: The average woman spends $312 monthly on skincare products... think of all those wasted $$! Argh!

Silvi is made from 100% pure Mulberry silk, which is 1.5x LESS absorbent than cotton. That means your skincare products stay on your face and do their thing, and you can sleep easy knowing your pillowcase isn't undermining your skincare routine.
REDUCES ACNE MECHANICA (ACNE CAUSED BY FRICTION)
By creating a smooth surface to sleep on
So you know everyone's been complaining about mask-ne? A big part of those breakouts are from the constant rubbing and friction of the mask's material against the face.

Now, think of that, but for 8 hours a night with your cotton pillowcase. Yeah. All that rubbing with cotton's roughness is why we often wake up all red faced and inflamed.

Again, thanks to Silvi's silk, it's has 43% LESS friction than cotton. The beautiful, buttery smoothness not only helps prevent acne but is a dream to sleep on.
UMM, AND THIS...
My hair has NEVER looked or felt better
Bedhead is a real thing and scratchy, high-friction cotton does us no favours ladies. The smoothness of Silvi's silk allows the hair to glide across it, so when I wake up it's never tangled! Silk's natural proteins also give my hair a beautiful, healthy shine.
AND THIS!
I freakin' LOVE the packaging
It comes in a beautiful, magnetically sealed box. When you open it, you're greeted by an information booklet explaining the science behind Silvi - and the pillowcase itself is even gift wrapped! Was there ever a more perfect surprise prezzie?

In Summary

To say this pillowcase is 'game-changing' is honestly not far from the truth. 

Whilst it obviously won't cure acne, I and many others (reviews on their website) have seen a reduction in the frequency and severity of breakouts. Since I started, my skin been noticeably less angry and inflamed - particularly in the mornings. 

If you're a person who gets spots, has sensitive skin or uses nighttime products, then I believe Silvi is a no brainer and a great addition to your skincare routine (plus you'll also sleep better!).

Overall rating: 9.5/10
