You cleansed. Toned. Did everything right.
So why did you wake up like that — again?

Silver ions work by interfering with the cellular structure of bacteria — a well-documented antimicrobial mechanism used in medical textiles and wound dressings. Because the silver is woven into the core of the cotton threads (not applied as a surface coating), bacteria that contact the fabric encounter silver throughout its structure, not just on the top layer.

No. Most "silver" products use a surface spray that washes out after 3–8 cycles. Everly's silver is structurally woven into the fibre during manufacturing — it's part of the thread itself, not a coating on it. It will remain active for the full lifespan of the pillowcase.

Silk primarily addresses friction — valuable for hair and fine lines, but not for bacterial buildup or heat. Silk has no antibacterial properties, and cheap silk options often trap body heat. If bacteria, residue accumulation, or heat were contributing to your breakouts, silk wouldn't address those. Everly does.

Hormonal acne is real and a pillowcase won't change your hormone levels — we want to be completely honest about that. What we can say is that trigger stacking is how most breakouts work. Removing the nightly surface trigger won't cure hormonal acne, but for most people it meaningfully reduces frequency and severity. 87% of our customers noticed fewer morning breakouts within 30 days.

Yes. Everly is designed to complement an active skincare routine. Benzoyl Peroxide is known to bleach standard cotton — Everly's premium Supima® cotton is significantly more durable. We recommend letting your products fully absorb before your face contacts the pillowcase.

Everly pillowcases are sized for standard European pillows: 60×70 cm (standard Dutch and Belgian size). They feature an envelope closure so the pillow stays in place overnight. If you're in Germany or the UK, email support@itseverly.com — we'll confirm compatibility before you order.

Everly pillowcases can be washed at 30–60°C. The silver is woven into the core of the cotton thread — not a surface treatment — so it is not affected by wash temperature or frequency. We recommend 40°C for routine washing and 60°C if you want a higher-hygiene wash. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not bleach.

Yes. The nightly trigger stack — bacterial buildup, oil residue, skincare residue pressing back against your skin — affects all skin types, not just acne-prone skin. Customers with reactive skin, eczema-prone skin, and persistent redness report the same pattern: calmer skin in the morning, less overnight irritation. Everly contains no synthetic coatings, no fragrances, and no harsh chemical finishing processes — making it particularly well-suited for sensitive and reactive skin.

Pure silver at the concentrations used in textile weaving has a well-established safety profile — the same mechanism is used in certified medical wound dressings and compression garments. There is no meaningful dermal absorption from contact with woven silver fabric. Everly is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified — every component, including the silver, has been tested for harmful substances and confirmed safe for prolonged skin contact. On the environmental side: the silver is permanently bound within the cotton thread structure. Independent testing shows negligible silver release during standard machine washing, well below environmental thresholds. At end of life, email support@itseverly.com and we'll arrange responsible material processing.
