  • Love my shower filter! It took a long time to arrive because FilterBaby was having some shipping issues at the time but hopefully that's been resolved. It's hard to pinpoint exactly how much this has contributed but I do feel my skin and hair have been looking better in the last month and half that I've been using this filter. It was easy to install and it comes with everything you need to install it.

  • This Filterbaby replacement faucet filter installs seamlessly into my Filterbaby Filter 2.0! With a use-life of around 2-3 months, I’ve noticed that this replacement cartridge works just as well and is identical to the one that comes with the 2.0 filter. It took me less than 3 minutes to replace my filter, and thankfully, I didn’t have to use any extra tools- just my hands! Since I’ve been using the 2.0 filter— both old and new— I have definitely noticed a difference when it comes to my facial hydration and very acne-prone skin. Needless to say, I can kiss goodbye dry skin and any new bumps that would’ve arisen from my previous non-filtered faucet water. This is definitely a must-have if you have the 2.0 Filterbaby Filter, especially since ensuring that your filter is being replaced in a timely manner is important to getting the benefits from the filter!

  • Making sure that my skin and hair are getting the best treatment possible is something I find very important, and so far with this Filterbaby shower filter, I find that the quality of both have thoroughly improved! This shower filter reduces chlorine and filters out over 40 contaminants which is amazing. I have to say that even after my first shower, I noticed my skin was softer compared to previous showers without the installed filter. Even my hair, which normally gets super frizzy after both a shower and being air dried, appeared a little more tame. Installing the filter housing with the filter itself was simple to do thanks to the instructions provided as well. The chrome finish and diamond-like design is also an absolutely gorgeous addition to my bathroom! Needless to say… I’m looking forward to taking my showers more often now!

  • I just got the Filterbaby Skincare Filter 2.0 and I’m genuinely so impressed and happy with it! Setting it up was super easy, and I love that it comes with everything you need to ensure it fits your faucet properly and that it doesn’t leak. The box it arrived in was cute too, which added onto the experience. I was really satisfied with the chrome color I chose and how it complemented the rest of my sink. Focusing on performance, upon first use I definitely saw an improvement in the water stream… It was so much stronger compared to not having the Filterbaby filter on my faucet. I had also put the filter on another sink within my house that had odd-smelling water, and after putting it on, the smell went away! I’ve washed my face with the filtered water, and I have to say that my face definitely felt cleaner. I experience clogged pores and whatnot that I’m sure is due to unfiltered water and other factors, so I’m looking forward to using Filterbaby long-term and seeing the improvement in my skin!

  • I absolutely love my FilterBaby! I have only had it for a few weeks, but my acne has already started to clear up so much! It also looks so cute on my faucet!! I am so happy I bought it, and am planning to get one for my sister for Christmas!

  • These filters are so worth the money!! I can tell a difference in my hair and skin and when it was time to replace, the new filter works just as good.

  • I love Filterbaby!! I can tell their filters are actually doing the work and when I changed the filter it was crazy to see how much gunk the last one caught.

  • Installation was quick and leak-free. My skin feels much less dry and tight after showering, and my hair is noticeably softer. Water pressure dropped slightly and it adds bulk to the arm, but the filtration performance is solid.

  • The sleek black box gives the product a really classy, premium first impression. The filter itself feels sturdy and well made, and the design looks clean and modern once installed in the shower. Installation was straightforward, and it fit naturally into my routine without feeling bulky or inconvenient. I also like that it feels like a simple upgrade you can make without changing anything else about your shower setup. Overall, I’m really happy with the quality and would recommend it.

  • I highly recommend this filter, especially to college students with bad, harsh water. I almost instantly noticed a difference in how my hair looked and felt. Dry ends and breakage are definitely softening up. The filter itself is great quality, easy to install, and will last for a while.

  • It was a little difficult to figure out how to install as there was no direct instructions. But it has been super nice and clean so far!! Really enjoy the product so far and I feel like I’m already seeing a difference in my skin.

  • I live in on a college campus and I have been struggling with acne and breakouts from the water. The filter was easy to put together and the appearance isn’t too distracting. So far I am enjoying the quality of the product and I’m hoping to see a positive change in my skin.

  • I’ve had a great experience with the Filterbaby Diamond Series Shower Filter. Installation was quick and straightforward, and the filter itself feels well-made and looks great in the shower. Since using it, I’ve noticed that the water feels cleaner and gentler on my skin and hair. I also appreciate how easy the filter is to maintain and replace when needed. Overall, I’ve been very satisfied with both the quality and performance of the Diamond Series Shower Filter and would recommend Filterbaby to anyone looking to improve their shower water.

  • I have been struggling with acne and dry flaky skin for 9 years now, and this faucet has changed everything for me. with just under a little less than a week i feel like my skin is more hydrated, isn't flaking at all, and my acne is less inflamed after washing! I would 100% recommend getting this faucet filter if you struggled with persistent acne!

  • I live in an apartment so I don’t get to control the filters that may or may not be installed. It’s not too bulky or too much of an eyesore and is nice and sleek looking. Easy to install. I have curly 2c/3a hair and it has helped with making my hair easier to brush through in the shower and less frizzy when I air dry. I recommend this!

  • I’ve been using the Filterbaby 2.0 skincare filter and really like how easy it is to install and use. I love that it’s designed to filter water for skincare, especially since water quality can affect your skin. It also looks sleek and doesn’t take up much space. So far, it’s been a nice addition to my skincare routine, and I’m excited to see how my skin does with continued use. Definitely worth trying if you’re looking to upgrade your skincare routine!

  • Such a cool product! I've been breaking out recently, even though I've had a very steady skin care routine. I realized it might be the water in my dorm, so I got this filter. The filter itself is very easy to put on, and there are so many different adapters -- which is good, because I knew nothing about my sink before buying this product. I think this is a great product for anyone who is struggling with their skincare and nothing is changing; it could be your water!

  • I am very impressed with this Filterbaby Skincare Filter! I was super easy to install and I love that it doesn’t stand out and blends in with my sink. I have already noticed a difference in my skin since using it! Definitely recommend if you are looking for a easy to install filter!

  • So nice I got it twice! This is my second skin care filter from Filterbaby and now I’m happy to put it in the guest bathroom. I have ezcema and dry skin so I’ve been noticing the difference when washing my face and hands. And because my best friend comes over all the time and she has ezcema too I want to share the love! Highly recommend. I have both the chrome and white and they were easy to install.

  • This replacement refill arrived very quickly and it’s not difficult to install. I’ve been happy using the skincare filter because of the results and the way my skin feels less dry. My partner is also having less acne pop up. The filters need replacing 2-3 months according to them but I would love if they found a way to make them last 6 months at a time!
