ACNE PILLOW CASE USED IN THE TREATMENT OF FACIAL ACNE IS IN CLINICAL TRIALS
You may have read a recent press article or seen a TV interview or be aware of an acne pillow being produced by American company Precision Fabrics Group. Espère Healthcare Ltd is the official UK distributor of the DermaTherapy Bedding range which includes a pillow case that is manufactured by Precision Fabrics Group's fabric.
The fabric is currently undergoing extensive clinical trials to investigate its effect in facial acne. It is believed that the smooth wicking fabric coupled with non-migrating antimicrobial might help to alleviate some of the symptoms associated with facial acne.
Results so far are very encouraging but full data won't be available until the full trial is complete.
We will bring you more up to date information once the data is published. In the meantime, you can take a look at the DermaTherapy range and the pillow by clicking here. The range is also available by visiting www.pureandgentleskincare.com
