Jones Road is best known for its inclusive makeup lineup — the Miracle Balm, the Face Pencil, the WTF. But the skincare side of the brand deserves equal attention. The Oil-Free Moisturizer sits alongside the Known for its inclusive-of-all-skin-tones range of makeup, Jones Road is now catering to all skin types with the line of skincare. Launching today, the Oil-Free Moisturizer joins the Miracle Cream and Light Moisture Cream as the lightweight option in the lineup — the one built for combination and oily skin types that find the other two too rich. As a fan of Bobbi's no-nonsense approach to skincare, I was skeptical it would offer anything beyond the basics. It surprised me. Here's why.
What is it?
The Oil-Free Moisturizer is a straightforward, lotion-like formula that delivers both hydration and moisture without feeling heavy or greasy. It’s completely unscented. The texture is somewhere between gel and lotion, not quite runny, but definitely one that works best with the pump dispenser that accompanies it. And speaking of, the glass bottle simply bears the Jones Road logo and its heft definitely gives it a high-end feel. In short, it looks and feels like a premium product well above its price point.
What’s in it?
The Jones Road moisturizer is water-based, and as the name implies, is oil-free. It is not, however, the whipped and airy borderline weightless hydrator one might expect. The formula contains Glycerin and Squalane, which significantly support the skin's ability to retain moisture. Always on my radar, Niacinamide is also present and ready to help with the appearance of enlarged pores and uneven skin tone. Also in the INCI spotlight are Ginger Water and Water Lily Flower Extract, both known for their soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. This particular duo is also great at correcting hyperpigmentation-related imperfections.
How I use it
As a general rule, my combination skin does well with just a targeted serum during the day (usually a Vitamin C formula) under sunscreen; I rarely use a non-SPF moisturizer during the day. Jones Road products are consistently easy to use and this moisturizer is no exception. If you want to layer it under sunscreen, it won’t pill. It can also double as a makeup primer. I've been mixing the True Botanicals Vitamin C Booster powder into it and the combination works beautifully.
Bonus tips on how else I use it
One of my favorite discoveries: mixing the Oil-Free Moisturizer with Gel Bronzer in Medium for a touch of color, and a drop of Shimmer Face Oil in Pink Opal for glow. The result is a lightweight tinted moisturizer that takes seconds to apply and looks genuinely natural. I've since tried it with other Shimmer Oil shades with equally good results. On low-key days when I want color without effort, this combination is my go-to.
