Surgery can be tough—not just the procedure itself, but the following healing process. When I looked at my finger on Day 1 post-surgery, I felt scared that my skin would heal for a long time. The wound was still raw and the skin felt swollen and tender. I wasn’t sure how I’d get through the recovery process without scars or complications.
I’ll share the whole journey but be aware of some of the images you may find disturbing.
Thankfully, I had two powerhouse products: Larens Biopeptide Spray and SOS Cream.
These two transformed what initially felt like a long and painful journey into a smooth, confident recovery. Below you’ll see how my skin improved in just five days.
Day 1: Swollen and Fragile

It all began here. My mallet finger needed surgery. Ouch!
The surgery required full anaesthesia, and when I woke up, I discovered a needle already embedded in my finger. It was there to hold the tendon straight and stretched—essential for the healing process but also a daily challenge to live with for the next two months.
Recovery
Fast forward to 2 months later, when the needle was finally removed.
My finger was tender and the skin irritated, and every tiny movement was painful. I was desperate for relief and to prevent further damage.
First, I used the Biopeptide Spray, spritzing it gently over my skin. Its star ingredient, Biopeptide Complex, immediately worked to soothe and hydrate the area. The spray’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties were essential for calming my skin and promoting healing.
Next, I applied the SOS Cream, which acted as a protective shield. Formulated with fish collagen peptides, Ginkgo Biloba, and aloe vera, it intensely moisturized my skin, reducing dryness and tenderness. Its ability to lubricate and protect against external factors made it perfect for the vulnerable, post-surgery state of my skin.
By the end of Day 1, my skin already felt calmer, and the redness had started to subside.
Day 3: Visible Progress

By Day 3, I saw undeniable improvement. The swelling had significantly decreased, the redness had faded, and the scabs were forming cleanly. My skin was visibly smoother and less irritated.
I stuck to my routine:
- Biopeptide Spray twice daily to deeply hydrate and regenerate the skin while soothing inflammation. Its ability to stimulate collagen synthesis helped my skin regain elasticity and firmness.
- SOS Cream, applied generously, to provide intense nourishment and strengthen the skin barrier. Its regenerative properties softened my skin and improved its flexibility, making it resistant to stretching or cracking.
At this point, I felt hopeful. My skin was healing incredibly fast.
Day 5: Almost Good as New

By Day 5 and 7 I couldn’t believe the transformation. The scabs were shrinking, and my skin looked smooth, hydrated, and healthy. The tenderness was almost completely gone, and I could move my finger comfortably.
The Biopeptide Spray and SOS Cream worked together seamlessly:
- The spray provided lightweight hydration and antibacterial protection, ensuring no irritation or infections occurred during the healing process.
- The cream deeply nourished and supported regeneration, leaving my skin soft and supple.
Together, these products prevented dryness, cracking, and visible scarring, accelerating the healing process while restoring my confidence.
