Summary

The purpose of this research study is to better understand how this study pillowcase works when people use it to treat acne. Most people, including people with acne, sleep six to eight hours each night in direct contact with bedding fabrics that provide no benefit to the healing process associated with acne. The fabric in this study pillowcase may be able to reduce bacteria on the skin. This study would evaluate how acne is affected by this silk-like pillowcase. This type of study has not been done before.
