FilterBaby earns positive reviews for delivering softer-feeling water that leaves skin less dry and hair smoother, with easy, minutes-long installation and minimal impact on water pressure. Reviews also flag weaknesses: occasional adapter incompatibility, bulky fit on small sinks, intermittent low flow in filter mode, and multiple reports of poor customer service and subscription/return frustrations.

  • I’ve been using this filter for a little over a month and can say that, without a doubt, my skin was clearer within 2 weeks of use. Where I live is known for having relatively clean water but with consistent use of this filter, my skin is noticeably clearer and less dry. Install was easy with the included instructions and adapters. My one complaint is that by week 3, the filter had started having functional issues. The water pressure in eco mode is great, in tap mode its ok but not what it is without the filter on (enough of a difference that my boyfriend is not a fan), and in filter mode it’s absolute trash. It comes out as a slow flow but it is serviceable. Despite this issue, I would still recommend this filter because of the results. At the end of the day, it delivered.

  • I LOVE THIS THING ! I must say at fist I never knew the importance of go filters and with the result I’ve been getting I am mind blown ! My skin is less dry and more plump and I love the different settings so that way I can lessen the amount of times I use my filter and I have the option to clean with regular tap water .

  • Wow! The results speak for themselves. After having used Filter Baby for a little over 30 days, it will always be a staple and part of my skin care routine. I can feel the purity of the water on my skin. Thank you for creating Filter Baby!

  • this product is truly life changing! I’ve always had extremely dry skin, and recently started to deal with hormonal acne. since I started using filterbaby, I’ve noticed my skin so much less dry! it feels hydrated and healthier. I used to get very dry skin on my eye lid area, and now that is a problem of the past! my acne is clearing up and what I have left is mostly scarring. I’m so thankful for this. it’s crazy what’s in our water and how it can damage your skin, I highly recommend this to everyone!

    The only difference would be if the facet had a rope nozzle

  • I am a lover of skincare and have a pretty intensive skincare regimen. I am always looking for ways to get my skin to even better than what it currently is. After a month of using filter baby my skin feels more hydrated, less red and more calm overall. I’m very happy with it!

    A little more clear in the instructions on how to insert the silicone ring when installing the filter baby. I thought it had to be stretched and not placed inside.

  • My skin has cleared up, but I’ve always gone through periods of breakouts and I happened to change my skincare routine at the same time, so who knows. I purchased more for peace of mind.

    Feedback

    The assembly itself was super simple, but getting the aerator attachment on without leaking was tough. Just keep readjusting, it does fit.

  • I used to have really bad redness and flare ups around the cheek area of my face. My skin was also gasping for fresh water as it was being drowned in toxins. In result, my skin was as dry as my love life. But now I’m flourishing. Thanks Filter Baby WOOP WOOP

  • Never has my skin looked this clear and even before! I've tried countless skincare products, and little did I know it was the water that I needed to change. The photo shows the difference between a new filter and a 3 month old filter! I've been recommending FilterBaby to all my friends~

  • Love this filter for waking your face! I can completely see a difference in my face after using the filter for a week. It’s truly amazing. I love seeing my completion glow. Great addition to my face washing routine.

    Every human who washes their face needs this! the set up is pretty easy

  • Filterbaby is an amazing way to start your skincare journey if you haven’t already started. The amount of toxic junk our faucet releases when we wash our face is the focal point why Filterbaby revolutionized this process. I am so happy to add this amazing product to my daily skin care routine.

    I love the cute and very organized packaging. I was able to find every piece of the faucet filter easily. The instructional installation video tutorial filterbaby provided made the process of installing very smooth.

  • 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!
