STEP 3 Apply Triple C Serum and Hydrating Moisturizer to complete your routine. And don't forget SPF in your AM routine.
TIP: Perfect to use as a body wash or for chest or back acne. And as a second step if doing double cleanse!
A Gut Pharmacist's Quest To Save Her Daughter’s Skin
"13 years ago, my daughter was born with a rare skin condition no one could solve. As a Doctor of Pharmacy, I became obsessed with understanding why some ingredients helped while others hurt.
At 40, my skin declared war - breakouts, dark spots, hyperpigmentation hit. No medical-grade, natural, or prescription product worked.
Until I connected my gastroenterology work: skin problems aren't about the ingredients. They're about the ecosystem.
Your skin is like your gut. It has a microbiome evolved over 200,000 years that decides whether it’s healthy or not.
Most women think inflammation, pigmentation and dark spots are just part of aging. It’s not. It’s a side effect of modern life - and it’s 100% reversible.
Now at 48, my skin is better than ever, and it has been that way consistently since using these products."
The Science
THE MICROBIOME CRISIS™
Your skin works like your gut - when good bacteria die, absorption stops.
Modern life and traditional skincare commit bacterial chaos and destroy your skin’s microbiome with parabens, phenoxyethanol, and wrong pH levels.
Now your skin's locked shut like a damaged gut. Over time, melanocytes produce pigment chaotically. Dark spots multiply. Sudden breakouts happen.
OUR PHYTO CLINICAL FITZPATRICK FORMULATION™
Took 3 years and 15-20 iterations per formula to achieve the impossible: maximum-strength actives in a stabilised formula that supports beneficial bacteria. We spent $40,000 proving this synergy works - maintaining pH 5.0, preserving your microbiome, while delivering clinical-grade actives deep into the skin.
Fix the ecosystem, unlock absorption, watch everything transform.
Key Ingredients
Our science team brings 15 years of pharmaceutical R&D experience, backed by $40,000 in clinical studies and 17 formulation cycles. We've mastered synergistic formulation, where restoring barrier function unlocks deeper penetration, allowing clinical-grade ingredients to work effectively without causing irritation.
TURMERIC
A golden root used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Eastern medicine, turmeric is rich in curcumin, a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound.
Here are the primary benefits of turmeric for your skin:
Soothes redness and irritation caused by environmental stressors
Brightens dull skin
Evens out skin tone
FRUIT AHA
Extracted from natural fruit sources like citrus, sugar cane, and apples, AHAs are chemical exfoliants that dissolve dead skin cells.
Here are the primary benefits of fruit AHAs for your skin:
Stimulate cell turnover
Maintains healthy skin barrier
Gentle Exfoliation
PANTHENOL
This provitamin of B5 is a water-binding humectant with soothing properties that are perfect for all skin types, especially dry or irritated skin.
Here are the primary benefits of panthenol for your skin:
Deeply hydrates
Supports skin barrier
Leaves the skin feeling soft, plump, and nourished
WILLOW BARK
Sourced from the bark of the white willow tree, this natural extract is prized for its gentle exfoliating properties thanks to its content of salicin, a precursor to salicylic acid.
Here are the primary benefits of Willow Bark for your skin:
I have had acne/acne prone skin for about six years. I was constantly in dermatology appointments and used prescribed topicals for all those six years.
This past year in march I started to use the Plantkos Gentle Exfoliating Gel cleanser and I have gotten absolutely AMAZING results within a short amount of time. Like nothing before!! 100% recommend!!

Helps with discoloration on face
I'm a very simple person who usually only uses water to wash my face. As I got older, I noticed discoloration on my face because of the sun. A friend recommended this product to me and I decided to try it out. I have been using this product twice a day. I can confidently say that this product works! After 6 months of use, I can see a big difference in the discoloration on my face. I also like that my face feels so refreshed after using it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has discoloration or blemishes.

Go to cleanser
Hello, This is your beauty expertise Ieasha. When it come to my skin I have to be gentle and loving. Here is what I experienced while I use Phyto Exfoliating Cleanser. To tell you a little about the in your palm feeling I can inform you of this, It comes in a glass bottle and is pump despinsed.This product spreads very easily. A little goes a long way. It does not have much leather, and has little to no sense. It's not thick and tacky. It's very light.I truly feel that Phyto Exfoliating Cleanser, is gentle on the skin and cleans well. I got a deep cleansing feeling to my skin and it keeps my skin hydrated, not oily. After using for one weeks my skin was brighter leaving a even appearance and healing break out scars fast. My skin also felt tight. With the anti-inflammatory activities that this products gives, It's good to use before and after break out.

FAQs
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. Free shipping is available on all domestic orders of $75 or more, and on international orders of $200 or more.
How long will my order take to arrive?
Once you complete checkout, we'll process your order within 3-5 business days. Delivery time after shipping depends on the shipping method you selected at checkout.
How are your clinical studies conducted?
Our clinical studies use 3D human skin models – bio-first skin-mimicking structures made from young keratinocytes (human skin cells) and adult fibroblasts (metabolically active, collagen-producing cells). These models incorporate all the vital biological components needed to replicate normal skin function, allowing us to test how our products perform at the cellular level.
How are your clinical studies different from other skincare brands?
Most skincare brands conduct clinical studies using human participants and rely on subjective feedback. We test on 3D human skin cells to understand how our products work in the skin's deepest layers, objectively measuring hydration, barrier function, microbiome health and inflammation response. Learn more on our science page
Is the synthetic skin model you use animal-derived?
No. We don't use animal by-products or conduct animal testing. Our skin models are created using human keratinocytes and fibroblasts only.
