Clothing That Doubles as Skin Care? PH5 Designed Some—Here’s How It Works

The NYC-based brand just debuted a new collection of sleepwear designed to hydrate and plump skin overnight while you get lost in your dreams.

If the staple eye mask and constant praise of Laneige’s cult-fave lip treatment are any indication, making your beauty work while you rest continues to grow in popularity. Now, PH5 is taking beauty sleep to the next level: The New York City-based brand just debuted a new collection of sleepwear designed to hydrate and plump skin overnight while you get lost in dreams of bliss and good fortune.

PJ5 Sleepwear combines the science of a skin-loving serum with the softness of a pointelle knit. The star of the collection is hydraKNIT, a yarn infused with hyaluronic acid molecules that are released when the fabric rubs against the skin.

Founder Wei Lin isn’t new to proving just how innovative yarn can be. She previously created a line of UV reactive pieces that change color under the sun, as well as a collection of moisture-wicking activewear she swears by for marathon training. “This brand is really a playground for us to see how far we can push the technicality, design, and innovation of knitwear,” she told Vogue. “It made sense for us to go into sleepwear because knitwear is super stretchy and comfortable whereas woven fabrics that are traditionally used in the category, like silk and cotton, don’t have a lot of give. After a few weeks of brainstorming, we knew exactly how we could put this yarn to good use.”
