There are so many theories about what stops acne that you could quite easily spend most of your life trying out different wacky methods (covering your face in toothpaste, anyone?).
But thanks to a viral TikTok video, we’ve been presented with a fresh method for fighting acne that takes no time at all – or at least none of your precious waking hours.
That’s right, a video that has racked up overly 20million views online claims to show a way to fight breakouts while we’re catching some z’s (and after a silly season of eating and drinking, our skin could really use some extra TLC).
In the clip our narrator is so keen to prove to a disbeliever that their Silvi pillowcase won’t grow any nasties over a week, that they cut off a sample and place it in a Petri dish.
Days roll on and we don’t need a science degree to see that the Silvi has stayed pristine and clear.
So, what’s the explanation behind this apparent sorcery?
While, sure, they may just be really on top of their washing their pillowcase (which is always a helpful thing if you’re suffering from acne), a helping hand may come in the form of Silvi’s composition of pure Mulberry silk, treated with natural, antibacterial silver that aims to prevent bacterial growth.
That’s a double-whammy of skin-friendly goodness. The silk is far gentler on skin, so less likely to cause irritation and rubbing, while the silver aims to reduce bacteria, keep your skin cleaner, and work to prevent blackheads and whiteheads.
Essentially, all this means is that you hopefully won’t undo the hard work (and cash) you put into your skincare routine the second it’s time to rest.
Or to put it in other words: you can make your skin look great in your sleep.
The brand claims that after 30 days of use, Silvi worked to prevent skin issues such as dry and oily skin, breakouts, and skin congestion.

On top of this, it’s ethically made, environmentally friendly, and hypoallergenic, with some shoppers sharing in reviews that it helped to clear up their sinuses.
Plus, as a bonus, silk pillowcases are good for your hair, too, reducing breakage, tangles, and frizz.
If the reviews are anything to go by, this pillowcase may be onto something – it’s got a 4.8-star average via over 1,700 reviews, and, as we mentioned, is a major hit over on TikTok with countless videos musing over the product.
You can nab a standard-size Silvi pillowcase for £49 in either charcoal or white (the Australian store has more colour options, so here’s hoping they’ll bring them over here soon), or grab a discount if you buy multiple – which is a wise idea, so you can always have a spare when the other is in the wash.
