With over 35 years of experience, Czech has had a lot of hands-on time dealing with blemishes. She believes acne-prone skin needs hydrating, calming, and restorative formulas, so she created The Soothing Serum. This cocktail of hyaluronic acid, polysaccharides, pepper berry and licorice root extracts, bio-ceramide complex, and niacinamide is designed to heal and repair.
