Barrier Care
Gentle Cleanser, Niacinamide Serum & Barrier Moisturiser Set
A Three-Step Routine for Dry & Sensitive Skin. Cleanse. Soothe. Protect. The three-step set that supports and restores a compromised barrier.
A strong barrier is where good skin starts. Get it right, and every active you add works better.
Barrier Care is a three-step skincare set for skin that feels dry, tight or easily irritated - built to cleanse, soothe and protect without stripping. When the barrier is compromised, the answer isn't a stronger routine. It's the right support, in the right order.
Super Balanced, our gentle cleanser, removes the day without disrupting the barrier. Niacinamide, Panthenol and Saccharide Isomerate calm and hydrate as they cleanse, so skin feels comfortable, never tight.
Super Repair, our 10% Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid Serum, soothes and strengthens, with a multi-weight Hyaluronic Acid Complex that holds moisture across every layer of the skin.
Super Supportive, our barrier-restoring moisturiser, seals the routine: Ceramides, Peptides and Skin-Identical Lipids that replenish moisture and reinforce the skin barrier.
Cleanse. Soothe. Protect.

Why Dr. Ceylan Yilmaz created Super Smooth:
“This is one of my most recommended products in clinic because glycolic acid remains one of the gold-standard exfoliating ingredients in skincare. Its small molecular size allows it to exfoliate effectively, helping improve skin smoothness, luminosity and the appearance of early visible signs of skin ageing. It’s often the product patients tell me made the biggest difference to how their skin looks and feels.”

Frequently Asked Questions
An AHA exfoliant gently removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, helping to smooth texture, brighten dullness and promote a more even complexion. Unlike physical scrubs, AHAs dissolve the bonds between dead cells, encouraging natural cell turnover without friction or irritation.
Glycolic acid has the smallest molecular size of all AHAs, allowing it to penetrate the skin more deeply and work faster to improve texture, dullness and uneven tone. Methodical’s Super Smooth uses glycolic acid for its proven effectiveness, balanced with hydrating and soothing ingredients to maintain skin comfort.
Super Smooth Glycolic is formulated to support sensitive and reactive skin. Glycolic acid is balanced with hydrating Advanced Hyaluronic Acid Complex and soothing ingredients like allantoin and panthenol to help minimise irritation while maintaining skin comfort. This balanced approach allows effective exfoliation while helping keep the skin calm, hydrated and resilient.
Start by using an AHA exfoliant 2-3 times per week, then gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Once comfortable, it can be used daily as part of a consistent routine. Introducing exfoliation slowly helps the skin barrier adapt while still delivering visible improvements in texture, brightness and overall clarity.
Yes. An AHA exfoliant helps improve dullness and uneven texture by removing dead skin cell buildup from the surface of the skin. This reveals smoother, brighter-looking skin and promotes a more even complexion. By encouraging healthy cell turnover, an AHA exfoliant also helps refine rough patches and allows serums and moisturisers to absorb more effectively.
Yes. AHAs support a more even skin tone by exfoliating pigmented surface cells and encouraging healthy cell turnover. This helps gradually fade discolouration and brighten the complexion over time. Glycolic acid is particularly effective because its small molecular size allows it to penetrate more deeply, helping disperse melanin buildup and promote fresher, more evenly toned skin.
A mild tingling or warming sensation can occur as AHAs begin to exfoliate the skin and loosen dead skin cells on the surface. This is usually temporary and should settle within a few minutes, particularly as your skin becomes more accustomed to the product. If strong burning, persistent discomfort or visible irritation occurs, reduce frequency or discontinue use.
Yes, when they are properly formulated. AHAs help remove dead skin cells so that hydrating products can absorb more effectively and work more efficiently. Super Smooth pairs glycolic acid with ingredients Advanced Hyaluronic Acid Complex for hydration, and allantoin and panthenol for soothing to exfoliate while supporting skin comfort, helping dry or dehydrated skin appear smoother, brighter and more balanced.
Yes, you can with Methodical. Our formulations are designed to work alongside other actives like retinol, Vitamin C and niacinamide. These ingredients can complement exfoliation by supporting brighter, clearer and more balanced skin. Introduce gradually and monitor skin tolerance when layering active ingredients.
Yes. AHAs exfoliate the surface of the skin, which can increase sensitivity to UV exposure. Because newer skin cells are more vulnerable to sun damage, applying a broad-spectrum SPF daily is essential when using an AHA exfoliant to protect the skin and maintain results.
Some people may experience mild purging when first using an AHA exfoliant, as increased cell turnover brings existing congestion to the surface more quickly. This usually appears in areas where breakouts commonly occur and typically settles within a few weeks as the skin adjusts.
You may notice a smoother texture and brighter-looking skin within 1-2 weeks of consistent use. More visible improvements in tone, clarity and overall skin refinement typically appear after 3-4 weeks as the skin progresses through its natural renewal cycle. With continued use, glycolic acid can help improve uneven skin texture, support clearer skin, and gradually reduce the appearance of pigmentation over time.
Methodical uses a barrier-first approach, combining glycolic acid with hydrating and soothing ingredients like Advanced Hyaluronic Acid Complex, Allantoin and Panthenol to support the skin barrier. This balanced formulation supports effective exfoliation while helping maintain skin hydration, comfort and long-term barrier health, allowing the skin to remain calm and resilient while active ingredients work.
