How 4am Skin Made Late-Night Skincare Cool

The beauty industry is obsessed with perfecting 10-step routines, flawless skin, and an endless cycle of new ‘must-have’ products. But 4am Skin? They changed the game.

Founded by Jade Beguelin & Sabrina Sadeghian in 2021, 4am Skin was built for the work-hard, play-hard crowd the ones who stay out late but still want glowing skin.

🔥 Here’s how they did it:

✅They Knew Exactly Who They Were Talking To.

Think hot girls in NYC who party till 4 AM but still want glowing skin. Instead of traditional wellness branding, they leaned into a dark, nightlife-inspired aesthetic and nailed their messaging.

✅ They Made TikTok Their Playground: 

A single video on launch day hit 8M views, proving that relatable, entertaining content beats polished, overproduced ads every time.

✅ They Created for the Overlooked

 The “skinimalism” movement was gaining traction, but no one owned it until 4am Skin. They made high-quality, all-in-one products for busy people who don’t have time for 10-step routines.
