  • I am absolutely loving this product. I live in NYC where I thought my water was “perfect,” but being the skincare freak that I am, I saw this and had to give it a shot. I purchased filterbaby and a shower filter and my life is changed… I haven’t noticed a huge difference in my face because I already have a pretty extensive skincare regimen, maybe less redness overall as a result of the filter. But WOW, I changed my filter after 2 months and this is what it looks like… I’m appalled and disgusted. I have told all my friends and will never be switching back to regular tap water. Filterbaby for life! Thank you for a wonderful product!

  • I am OBSESSED with FilterBaby. We had no issue getting it installed on our faucet (I wish I could have gotten a picture of how nasty the nozzle was when we removed it the first time). I could tell a difference in my skin within only a week. Less redness, zero acne, and less dry! I have recommended it to so many people. Our kids love it too! It's great that there there is an eco option as well.

    Would love if there was also a shower head filter!

  • I have truly enjoyed the positive changes my FilterBaby has brought for my new husband and I. Unfortunately, even with two sinks in our apartment, my husband primarily uses mine because of the FilterBaby! He loves it! I have seen a huge improvement in my acne and honestly, the water feels clean!

    The only thing I would suggest is more colors. Maybe one in black?

  • Uh-mazing! I know that our water isn’t the greatest, but I thought that it was getting the job done. I didn’t realize my dry skin, redness, breakouts, and flakes were because of the contaminants… but after a month of using my filter baby my skin looks so much different. No more dry flakes, my redness and breakouts have significantly reduced, and my skin is so much happier. And y’all … the way the filter looked when I changed it. I can’t believe I was putting all of that gunk on my skin. Thanks FilterBaby!!

  • Easy to set up and works amazing. The filtered water is great for your skin, my skin has been so clear and soft since using this!

    Nothing it was great

  • I’ve been using this filter for over 3 months and I’ve seen such an improvement in my skin. It’s very easy to install and easy to use.

  • I want to share my testimonial - and I'll bet it's one of the more drastic ones. The first video and first 3 photos are before I started using Filter Baby to wash my face. I was suffering from daily flare-ups of what my allergist and dermatologist diagnosed as contact dermatitis - notably around my eyelids and neck. It was gradually getting worse with each passing week, and my medical providers and I could not pinpoint the source. I switched to fragrance-free detergents, stopped using any drying/irritating skincare products and eye makeup, and was still suffering. My eyelids became so swollen and itchy that they started to crack and bleed. Burning, intense itching, and scaly rashes on my eyelids and neck. I have also been suffering from cystic acne along my chin and jawline, which you can see in the before photos as well. I was at my wits end. I had been managing my symptoms with cortisone creams and prescription topicals, but I couldn't find the root cause. I knew that my tap water is very chlorinated, and I started researching the effects of tap water on the skin. I have been using a shower filter for years, but suddenly realized that the quality of water I wash my face with is important too. And the two places that I would use tap water to wash my skin with - my face and neck - were the two areas with dermatitis. I found Filter Baby and my intuition told me this was worth trying, and it would be the solution. My intuition was right. I am not exaggerating when I say that my symptoms resolved overnight. The last 5 photos are me after 1 month of using Filter Baby. My skin is glowing, it naturally retains moisture so it no longer over-produces oil. I was breaking out daily with acne, and now I have a small blemish surface every 2 weeks or so. I have not experienced another dermatitis flareup since using Filter Baby consistently. My gratitude for this product is overwhelming. I remember crying in my allergist's office from how fed up I was with my skin - it turns out, you can be allergic to your tap water. if you need a sign that the investment is worth it, especially if you are dealing with chronically dry, irritated skin - this is it. This is self-care. Thank you Filter Baby Team.

    You may need a wrench to remove the old aerator (I believe that's what it's called?) from your faucet if it's old and has built-on residue! That was the case for me.

  • First of all the packaging is amazing! It’s very cute and very organized and if you don’t have the supplies that you need, they will send you supplies, now that’s customer service!! Installation was easy

    Filterbaby has changed my face! Because of the filter I know have no more pimples on my forehead. I drink a lot of water and I thought it was bad hormones, but it was just the water!!!!! Thanks to filter baby I got a clear face!

  • I love using this product. Easy installation and I saw a noticeable difference within a few weeks. I highly recommend FilterBaby!!

  • I am loving how my skin feels from this filter. It was easy to install on my faucet. I live in cold, dry winters and it destroys my skin. After a few weeks of using this filter to wash my hands and face, I can tell the difference! My skin is softer and more moisturized, and feels healthier!

    How to know when it’s time to change

  • I’ve been using my filter religiously since I learned how to install it! It does seem to have a leak but other than that it’s helped my skin so much and I can’t wait to use it FOREVERRR! My skin was peeling off and dry before using it and now my skin is so soft and no dry flakes at all!!!!

    Feedback

    The customer service is amazing, just wish it was a little easier to install because now it has a leak and I’m scared to take it off cause I know how hard it is to put it on.

  • Filter Baby has been amazing! The installation was very quick and they had plenty of instructions to help me figure it out. You might just need a wrench in the process. I immediately noticed the difference in my water as it felt cleaner and less contaminated. I live in Southern California so the water is not great here, so after the installation I was able to see a major difference. I highly recommend this product if you have been having problems with your skin and don’t know why (it might be the water).

    I think everything has been great. One tip for new customers would be to make sure you get this sooner rather than later!

  • I have been using filter baby for about two months now, I haven't changed anything in my skin routine. I have noticed two things so far. 1. My skin feels a-lot less dry 2. My blackheads have gotten smaller! I used to see them in most of my photos but now I have to zoom in to see them! I would definitely recommend.

  • Love this filter. I have noticed a difference washing my face. My skin feels hydrated and not dry. I use the filter also for brushing my teeth. Who would have thought?! I like the flexibility of switching to 3 different modes. I ordered pink in error however I’m happy still. Easy set up!

  • I just got my Filterbaby and I love it so far! It fits onto my faucet nicely and I like that you can change between two settings for the water. My hands feel a little softer already washing them under it, instead of with normal tap water. I look forward to seeing how it improves my skin in the long-run!

  • I love my filterbaby!!!! I was looking for a bathroom sink filter for years and was so happy to find this one. I just replaced my 3 month filter and it was BLACK. I’m very happy to know I brush my teeth with clean water now :)

  • I absolutely love my FilterBaby - it has completely transformed my skin. I had no idea my water where I lived was so polluted and hard. My skin texture has improved significantly and I have a new glow. People at work have been asking me what I've been doing differently and it's my FilterBaby!

    I love the product - easy install and great subscription refills!

  • Due to my acne and scarring, I have been on a long skincare journey. I knew that a water filter would help tremendously. I travel twice a year to NYC and London for work and my skin gets absolutely torn up by the water. I came across FilterBaby on TikTok and saw the wonderful reviews they have online. Although I have just begun my FilterBaby journey, I am so excited to see the results in the long run. It was so easy to install, with the instruction pamphlet and online video easy to understand. I know that it'll be easy to uninstall and tuck away in my suitcase when I travel. If you are struggling with your skin, or just want to step your game up, get a FilterBaby!

  • I am so amazed at how just changing my water quality has completely cleared my stubborn acne and made my complexion so much clearer and less red! No matter what I tried I had this acne and dryness would not go away and in just a month of using my filter baby my skin looks amazing! I get so many compliments now and I owe it all to Filter baby!

  • I absolutely love my FilterBaby. My skin had suddenly gotten really dry after having had normal skin for 22 years of my life. I tried product after product, and then thought to try a water filter, and I’m so glad I did. My skin is no longer dry all the while still using the same products I always have. I love this little thing!
