Caviar 3R: The Secret to Timeless Beauty
Quick answer: Caviar 3R is a lightweight gel-serum from Thin Lizzy, made with rose water and a blend of nourishing actives, that melts into skin to leave it looking fresher, plumper and more radiant. It's designed for dry, tired or mature skin and can be used morning and night under moisturiser or makeup. Caviar 3R takes a pea-sized amount for the whole face and neck.
As skin matures it tends to feel drier, look duller and show fine lines more readily, especially after a long Australian summer of air-conditioning and outdoor weekends. A good serum is the easiest way to give your routine a lift without adding lots of extra steps. Here's what Caviar 3R is, what the "3R" stands for, who it suits and how to get the most from every jar.
What Is Caviar 3R?
Caviar 3R is a concentrated gelée: lighter than a cream, richer than a watery serum. It's infused with rose water and a blend of active ingredients chosen to nourish skin and help it feel soothed and comfortable when it's been exposed to everyday stressors like wind, heat, pollution and dry indoor air.
The texture is the first thing most people notice. It melts into the skin almost on contact, so there's no greasy film, and it leaves an instant soft glow that sits well under makeup.
What Does "3R" Mean?
The name stands for Repair, Renew, Rejuvenate, the three things the formula is built around in terms of how your skin looks and feels:
- Repair: deep, comforting moisture for skin that feels dry, tight or stressed.
- Renew: helps a tired, dull complexion look fresher and more even.
- Rejuvenate: helps the look of fine lines appear softer and leaves skin looking plumper.
Who Is Caviar 3R Best For?
- Mature skin that drinks up moisturiser and still feels thirsty by lunchtime.
- Dull, tired-looking skin that needs a quick lift of radiance.
- Dry patches and rough texture that make makeup cling or look patchy.
- Anyone who wants one serum step rather than a cabinet full of bottles.
If your skin is very sensitive, patch test any new product on a small area, such as the side of the neck, for a couple of days before using it on your whole face.

How to Apply Caviar 3R
- Cleanse and pat dry: start with clean skin. Slightly damp skin after a warm shower is ideal, as products spread more easily.
- Use a pea-sized amount: warm it between your fingertips for a second or two.
- Press, then smooth upwards: press it over your cheeks, forehead and chin, then smooth with gentle upward strokes.
- Don't stop at the jawline: take what's left down your neck and across your décolletage, and along the hairline.
- Give it a minute: let it sink in before moisturiser or makeup.
- Morning: follow with your moisturiser if you need it, and wear a separate sunscreen.
- Night: apply after cleansing, on its own or under your night cream.
Can You Wear Caviar 3R Under Makeup?
Yes. Because the gelée absorbs so quickly, it makes a smooth, hydrated base for foundation. Skin that's well moisturised lets foundation glide on more evenly and helps stop it clinging to dry patches. Give it a minute to settle, then apply your base as usual.
How Often Should You Use It?
For the most noticeable results, use it twice a day as part of your regular routine. Consistency matters more than quantity: a small amount morning and night does more than a thick layer once a week. That said, some customers use it a few times a week as a treat, and that works too if your skin is less dry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Caviar 3R a serum or a moisturiser?
It's a gel-serum, or gelée. It's light enough to layer under moisturiser and makeup, but many people with normal skin find it moisturising enough to wear on its own.
What skin type is Caviar 3R for?
It suits most skin types, and it's especially popular with mature, dry and dull-looking skin. If your skin is sensitive, patch test first.
Can I use Caviar 3R around my eyes?
You can smooth a tiny amount over the orbital bone, but keep it out of the eyes themselves. For the under-eye area specifically, a dedicated eye product is a better choice.
Should I use it morning or night?
Both. In the morning it gives a smooth, glowy base for makeup; at night it adds moisture while you sleep. Always wear a separate sunscreen during the day.
Can I buy Thin Lizzy Caviar 3R in stores?
Yes. Thin Lizzy is available at Priceline, TerryWhite Chemmart and Wizard Pharmacy stores across Australia. The range can vary by store, so the easiest way to get the full range, bundles and online deals is to shop online. See our FAQ page for stockist details.
