The BYOMA Shorttime Show is the first TV commercial from barrier-focused skincare brand BYOMA—and its Super Bowl advertising debut.
For the halftime show, a reported height requirement was issued for on-field performers, sparking commentary, memes and BYOMA tapping into the cultural moment to celebrate all "short kings and queens." BYOMA asks, "What if shorter is actually better?" and ties in its latest launch, a peel-off facial mask designed to deliver clinically proven glass skin in 20 minutes.
"The BYOMA Shorttime Show marks a defining moment for the brand," said Tara Loftis, Global President and Chief Brand Officer at BYOMA. "As our first-ever TV commercial, it formally defines a new era of skincare influence, one where culturally fluent creators are not following beauty culture, but shaping it for Gen Z and Gen Alpha."
