Lightening skin spots, smoothing

Delta-5 is better than I thought, I’m amazed! I can’t tell you how many products we test, that is just another product for the shelf. With that said this product has definitely smoothed out an area by my mouth that I was starting to worry about; and it was the only item I was using for the last two weeks. I can see a definite change in my skin’s appearance and I think some spots are lightening. Is that for real? Does this also get spots to lighten? I know they are normally visible but not anymore. What a find!!!!! I’ll be honest, I never thought this would do what it’s doing. I keep asking myself, Did I put something else on? Cause this is pretty different looking.

Works for sunburn protections and skin calming

I was vacationing in Aruba. Actually, I took the oil and tried it there in the humid environment and it was just lovely! It worked so well against sun exposure and calming the skin – really wonderful. ….For clients who are dry, etc., this oil may be wonderful.

Magic Elixir!

Stupendous Review from an Amazon customer (Fitness Legend Kathy Smith) REDNESS, DRYNESS, FINE LINES MINIMIZED; SKIN MORE SUPPLE, PLUMP, FIRM. 5 out of 5 stars on Amazon ★★★★★

“After a summer filled with travel and outdoor adventures, I returned home with very dry, reactive skin. No matter how much moisturizer I slathered on, nothing seemed to help. When a friend told me about SciaEssentials DELTA-5 Face Oil, I gave it a try as a last resort. It truly was a magic elixir! I started seeing results within the first week. Not only was the redness and dryness eliminated, but I also noticed that fine lines were minimized. My skin feels more supple, plump, and firm. I’m crazy about this product! It now is a staple in my daily routine.”

Delta-5 oil: a great new tool in the skin professional’s tool box

“The use of Delta-5 oil has been very therapeutic for my clients with aging, uneven, and poorly textured skin. I’ve been very happy with how it can calm and aid in faster healing post micro-needling procedures as well!

I would highly recommend Delta-5 for the treatment room for professionals and as an anti-aging product in a daily at home regimen.”

SciaEssentials note: just received this message from another large spa in Minneapolis, MN:

“We have performed three SkinPens with the oil a as post-care treatment. The clients did notice a comfort/soothing from the oil as well as providing a nice calming affect on the redness”

Great to see the professional community is embracing our Delta-5 oil!

DELTA-5 OIL improves healing after receiving facial fillers

Delta-5 oil by SciaEssentials likely reduces soreness, pain, redness, and flakiness associated with Restylane facial fillers (and competitor products). It may speed up recovery by reducing inflammation, and working synergistically with the hyaluronic acid n the Galderma product, to increase collagen.

Delta-5 oil speeds up recovery after plasma pen treatment, working synergistically to remove eye folds

Plasma pen procedure was conducted by Jill Schierholz (APLE, CLT, LSO), owner of Skin Savvy Advanced Aesthetics

Delta-5 oil by SciaEssentials was applied mornings and evenings (3 drops/time).

Top Panel: Plasma pen treatment
Middle Panel: 4 weeks later plasma pen
Bottom Panel: 10 weeks after plasma pen

Note the large reduction in the folded skin on the brow (red oval)

Delta-5 oil speeds up recovery by reducing inflammation and may work synergistically with the plasma pen to increase collagen.

Delta-5 oil used post-laser treatment and applied to makeup foundation

“Every day, I mix Delta-5 facial oil with my makeup foundation. This gives the foundation a more slippery consistency, and allows for better blending to the skin. Perhaps other oils would work for this purpose but I like the fact that Delta-5 also offers anti-inflammatory properties, and is thin and easily spreadable.

Moreover, recently, I had a Pixel-laser treatment under my eyes to try and lift my hanging eyelids, and smoothen and tighten the flabby skin around my eyes. After the laser treatment, the skin was irritated, so I applied Delta-5 oil daily under my eyes for one week, which smoothed the skin, reduced irritation, and speed up healing.

Next, I am going to try Delta-5 oil on my psoriatic plaques, in combination with my cortisone cream (to help penetrate the plaques)…I will let everyone know how that works out..”

SCIADONIC ACID: A NEW WAY TO FIGHT INFLAMMAGING.*

Review by Beauty Blogger Giorgia Guazzarotti at Beautiful with Brains

Beauty Blogger Giorgia Guazzarotti at Beautiful with Brains has reviewed Delta-5 oil by SciaEssentials.

She reports improved appearance, softness, smoothness, plumping, reduction of fine lines, less redness, and anti-acne benefits. Please read her detailed comments below, and for even more details, see her full review.

LET’S PUT IT TO THE TEST: PERSONAL USE & OPINION

Sciaessentials® Delta-5® Oil is a light oil, so use it sparingly. My skin is on the dry side so it absorbs pretty quickly but if you use too much, your skin will look a little shiny for a few minutes.

It’s tricky to judge how well it fights chronic inflammation because you can’t see the nasty bugger! But I know it’s there because I live in one of the most polluted cities in the world (thanks, London!) and I’m often under a lot of stress. It ain’t easy to juggle two blogs, a novel in the making and a relationship…

But I did notice some changes. The most obvious? My skin feels so soft and smooth. It’s also plumper, which in turn makes the few fine lines I have look smaller. It just makes my skin look better.

And it DOES something for inflammation, too. I mean, I knew it would. The science backs that up. But I noticed it first-hand when I got a pimple. I haven’t suffered from hormonal acne in a while, but last month I went on holiday and indulged in too many carbs (don’t judge).

As if on cue, a pimple reared its ugly head on my chin. I used a few drops of Sciaessentials® Delta-5® Oil on it and immediately, the redness went down. The pimple healed a little faster too.

I’m confident that if you have any inflammatory skin conditions, like rosacea, or some wound/burn on your skin, you’ll see visible results way more quickly

Talking about burns, if you’re going on holiday somewhere hot and sunny, this oil makes a good remedy for sunburns too. Bring a bottle with you, just in case.

Improved serious rash under ring/Love Delta-5

“I have been using Delta-5 oil on my face and neck one to two times a day. My skin has a healthy glow, I am 71, and this is a preventative for wrinkles! But I have just found another use. I developed a serious rash under my wedding ring.. I managed to get my ring off and applied a few drops to a bandage and left it on overnight. What had been painful, completely subsided and healed perfectly. I will never be without Delta-5 oil.

I will let my friends know about your wonderful product. If you ever need anyone to test a new product, please keep me in mind. I first saw you speak on “The Skinny on Fat” seminar, and have watched it several times! I truly appreciate all of your time and expertise in coming up with this incredible product. I love Delta-5 !”

Moisturizing, Softening, Plumping. Reduces Wrinkles.

“I found Delta-5 oil to be a very deep moisturizer, to soften my skin, to plump the skin rapidly, to decrease wrinkle lines, and to decrease puffiness. I am going to continue to try it out for different conditions on myself and a friend with wrinkles.”

PAINFUL LITTLE CUTS ON FINGERS

OUCH! Minnesota weather and dry, cold climates are really tough on the hands, feet, face, etc. Every year I get these painful cuts around the cuticles. These cuts are painful and slow to heal. Every time you touch something and press on the cut, it hurts big time! Applied Delta-5 oil to open cut night before (before picture came out blurry, sorry), but in morning, cut was more annealed. If you have little cuts like this, try Delta-5 oil. Might also work well to combine Delta-5 with other ingredients; and to tape cut slightly closed to expedite improvement.

Delta-5 Outperformed Hyaluronic Acid for Anti-Puffiness and Anti-Wrinkling

“I’ve been using the bottle I purchased last week. For the last year, I’ve been using a ‘high-grade’ short-chain hyaluronic acid (HA; see footnote) for quite some time on my face once or twice per day. I’m in my sixties. I surely appear younger than my age. In my opinion, Delta-5 oil applied on one side of my face shows significant improvement compared to the other side with the HA skin product. With Delta-5, there was also a noticeable reduction in moderate puffiness, near my nose.

I’ve also applied Delta-5 oil to my forehead where I believe there is a definite reduction in horizontal lines. Beginning today, I applied HA to the vertical lines and then applied Delta-5 in the same place after the HA dried — as well as continuing the treatment on the horizontal lines. I will update SciaEssentials as I get more results.”
Stephen S, Customer, May 4, 2018

Footnote from SciaEssentials: Short chain HA is like long chain HA, but is more penetrating. It fills in wrinkles and may prevent future wrinkles, smoothes and hydrates the skin, and can reduce puffiness.

Rapid Healing of Cuts on Lips

“Very glad you mentioned this product! [Delta-5 by SciaEssentials]. I am a bit of a hoarder of skincare and makeup products ☺️, so when I saw this product I had to buy it because it has a completely different purpose from what I typically use. I must say, Nicky, I am overwhelmed by it! This is REALLY a great product ! I bought it recently because I have a lot of skin issues! Some melasma, not very dark but very deep… redness (rosacea) and… wrinkles… etc. Although I bought it to improve these skin issues, I used it for a different issue I had. I was trying to see a doctor about this new issue because I was very concerned! Several weeks ago… around March of 2018… I started to develop a wound at the corner of my lips (on the right side)… where the lips meet. It looked like an open cut and it would not heal! I tried a lot of products, but the open cut remained! Then the same open cut started to develop on the left side of my mouth! It was difficult to apply makeup and lipstick and it looked awful after application! It was NOT herpes. No one in my family has ever had herpes, but some friends do have herpes and it was not herpes! I had an open cut! Anyway… I applied Delta-5 for 2 days… like 2 times a day, specifically before I went to bed, and the cuts almost fully healed! No more flesh showing!! I have taken photos now (after photos), but I did not take before photos because these cuts on my lips looked disgusting. I believe in a few days I will have no trace of these cuts! AMAZING PRODUCT!

P.S- Delta-5 is also great to use under foundation for use on dry/ dehydrated skin, rosacea, etc. I have not used Delta-5 yet to treat my wrinkles or melasma. I bought some products I am testing now for these conditions to apply first, but I will try more uses with Delta-5 in the near future!😉”

Use with Make-up Foundation

“Not greasy; I am mixing with my makeup foundation; spreads well; I know it works and is active because it causes a slight flushing when first applies that then goes away instantly.”
