• Bobbi Brown reveals the product she uses to combat “fine lines.”

• The beauty icon uses the Jones Road Beauty Oil-Free Moisturizer for healthy skin at 66.

• “The only way to hack the system [a.k.a. fine lines] is with the right moisturizer."

Bobbi Brown is our go-to source for the best makeup tips and beauty product recs, but the industry legend also knows a thing or two about great skincare.

Brown told Prevention how to best prep your skin to ensure makeup doesn’t settle into “fine lines” or wrinkles. Her go-to product? The Jones Road Beauty Oil-Free Moisturizer.

“Fine lines have a lot to do with the texture of your skin and the formulas of the products,” Brown says. “The only way to hack the system [a.k.a. fine lines] is with the right moisturizer that will almost create a cushion in your skin so the long-lasting makeup doesn’t get in your lines.” And Brown’s favorite formula (from her brand, Jones Road) is ideal for all skin types as it is lightweight, oil-free, and fragrance-free.

“I personally use the oil-free moisturizer in the summer months, or the warmer months, because with humidity it’s a great balance from using a heavy moisturizer that’s pretty oil-based,” Brown explains. “If it’s oil-free it will give you all the hydration without the oil.”

Niacinamide is paired with other star ingredients in the moisturizer, like hydrating squalene and glycerin for a powerhouse formula perfect for all skin types.

In a recent Instagram video, Brown says this formula is the “first oil-free moisturizer” that “does the trick” for her dry skin and “makes it so much better.” She also explains that it does a great job of not adding “shine” to the complexion without a “mattifying” effect.

“I love it. I think you guys are gonna love it,” she concluded. And she was right—the product is also a hit with fans. “Absolutely LOVE this moisture. It’s lightweight and so hydrating,” one fan commented. “It is the best for sure and I have tried many moisturizers ❤️,” another added.

Whether she’s sharing innovative formulas for improving fine lines and wrinkles or her top décolletage care tips, Brown has a great track record for sharing amazing, problem-solving skincare products—in fact, she’s shared another moisturizing product with her audience in the past.

While the beauty expert says the Oil-Free Moisturizer works for all skin types (even her very own dry complexion), anybody who feels like they may need a little more hydration and moisture might want to try the Jones Road Beauty Miracle Cream. Brown said the Miracle Cream is key for moisturizing mature, very dry skin types.
