RESET THE BARRIER,
THEN WATCH SKIN GLOW.

Most moisturizers sit on the surface and feel hydrating for an hour. This one binds moisture at multiple levels and works on tone, calm, and firmness at the same time — so skin looks steadier and more even, day after day.
01 Hydrate
Saccharide Isomerate and sodium hyaluronate bind water at multiple levels, so skin stays cushioned from morning to night.
02 Calm
Niacinamide fades dark spots while cica calms redness and repairs the barrier — tone looks steadier and more even.
03 Firm
Bakuchiol delivers retinol's firming results without the flaking, sensitivity, or adjustment period.

HYDRATION THAT
ACTUALLY LASTS
Cushioned and comfortable from morning to night.
This formula pulls moisture into skin and keeps it there. Saccharide Isomerate and sodium hyaluronate bind water at multiple levels — so skin stays cushioned and comfortable from morning to midday to night, without the greasy finish.
CALMER, MORE EVEN
SKIN OVER TIME
Steadier, more even tone with consistent use.
Niacinamide fades dark spots. Cica reduces redness. Schisandra builds resilience against the daily stress that makes skin look dull and reactive. Used consistently, the overall tone looks steadier and more even.
FIRMER SKIN
WITHOUT RETINOL
Retinol results — safe for sensitive skin and breastfeeding.
Bakuchiol is the gentler path to retinol's results — firmer skin, smoother texture, reduced fine lines — without the flaking, sensitivity, or adjustment period. Safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin and during breastfeeding.

Plantkos began with a mother and pharmacist navigating her daughter’s rare skin condition, then applying the same clinical scrutiny to her own struggles with breakouts, dryness, and hyperpigmentation.

The result is a line grounded in three pillars, hydration, calm, and protection, designed to support skin health layer by layer

Designed to Support Skin Through Three Clinical Pathways

Hydrate

Support lasting hydration to help maintain skin comfort, resilience, and visible firmness.

Protect

Support barrier integrity and microbiome balance to help skin retain moisture and defend against daily environmental stressors.

Calm

Thoughtfully formulated to minimize unnecessary irritation while supporting skin comfort and long-term skin health and longevity.

YOUR SKIN TIMELINE
Skin is slow. Consistency wins. Here's what most people notice when they use the Hydrating Moisturizer regularly.
Day 1
Skin absorbs the formula quickly and feels noticeably softer. The texture is lightweight with no greasy finish. Makeup and SPF sit cleanly on top without pilling.
Week 1-2
Hydration looks more consistent throughout the day. Redness tends to look calmer. Skin feels less reactive, and dry patches start to ease.
Week 3-4
Tone looks more even. Dark spots may start to look lighter. Skin texture feels smoother and fine lines look softer, especially in areas that were dry or dehydrated.
Month 2+
Results feel settled. Skin looks consistently brighter, firmer, and more resilient. The kind of complexion that doesn't need much coverage — because the skin underneath is doing better.

What’s inside, and why it works

Rather than overwhelming the skin with aggressive actives, the formula is designed to restore hydration, strengthen barrier integrity, and support visible calm — so clinically studied ingredients can perform without triggering irritation.
Niacinamide (pore-minimizing + brightening)
Niacinamide (pore-minimizing + brightening)
Works across multiple concerns at once: fades dark spots, reduces the look of pores, calms redness, and strengthens the barrier.
Bakuchiol (natural retinol alternative)

Visibly firmer, smoother skin and reduced fine lines — without the irritation, dryness, or adjustment period. Safe during breastfeeding.
Centella Asiatica / Cica (barrier repair + calm)
Centella Asiatica / Cica (barrier repair + calm)
Works at the barrier level — reducing visible inflammation and creating the stable foundation that lets the actives work without tipping sensitive skin into reactivity.

    Plankos Truth

    Hello their beautiful listen to this; I know how much we like to use beauty product's for what the label says; but see me I like to be different. Switch it up a little challenge the product. This is because if a product does what it says it does as far as: tone, mousterize, calm redness it should work on whatever skin area u choose. So with that being said, Phyto A Face Lotion from Plankos is nothing but the truth. I used my Phyto A Face Lotion on my stomach. Yes my stomach because I'm a mom and yes my stomach had stretch marks and uneven tones. Not all gone away but good enoughto share the news. Sorry I didn't take photos because I was just playing around but I won't play around with you. It fades dark spots giving a even appearance also Reduce the appearance of scars.

    Love it

    One of my new favorite face lotions. As a mom who is breast feeding it is not recommended to use any retinol at all and this product is the perfect alternative! This product contains bakuchiol which is a plant based alternative to retinol making it totally safe for expecting moms and breast feeding moms to use! I have been using this product for several months now and absolutely love it. I even think I will continue to use it even after breastfeeding. The other ingredients in this face lotion actually are suppose to help acne prone skin, hyperpigmentation, inflammation and fine lines so not only is this product moisturizing but it is also helping with so much more. I rate this product a 5/5 and would recommend it to anyone because I don’t feel like it is over powering it is still very sensitive on the skin!

    Face lotion

    I was so excited to receive this product!  As an esthetician and a beauty junkie, I love skincare and unique ingredients that will get you thinking and doing more research!  Phyto is such an amazing brand and i loved every single one of the products that I received.   It is great for all skin types in my opinions and truly delivers what it claims.  It is hydrating and smoothing.  The price is also amazing and the packaging is adorable with the red color.  The products are gentle, I never felt scared or skeptical about using this brand that was new to me.  But i enjoyed it so very much and give it a 5 star rating.  I absolutely loved this thick and concentrated moisturizer to repair the skin barrier and give you the hydration that we all need.

    Phyto A Lotion

    This is not your average run of the mill facial moisturizer. Plantkos Phyto A Face Lotion is a powerhouse of hydration, enriched with niacinamide, bakuchiol, gotu kola, and turmeric. This blend not only deeply moisturizes but also works wonders in fading dark spots, calming redness, and minimizing superficial scars. Over time its brightening properties are amplified when paired with Plantkos Phyto Triple C Serum. The complete Plantkos regime makes it an excellent skincare routine, ensuring a hydrated smooth and supple base before applying SPF or makeup. I believe I will enjoy this facial lotion most during the summer. My normal combination skin is often a bit dry during the winter months so I applied a lightweight facial rose oil to seal in the moisture. After consistent use I noticed my skin was brighter, firmer and less dry.
