  • The water in my area is very hard, and I noticed a difference in my skin after moving here. My skin started to get very dry and red. I tried so many different face washes and lotions before finally thinking of filtering our water! Within one month of using Filterbaby my skin cleared up and I didn't have anymore dryness!

    I only wish they made filters for shower heads, I would buy them in a heartbeat!

  • Very easy to install and it works very well. Automatically noticed clearer and more hydrated skin. Packaging was very cute and makes it easy to store.

    Nope! I loved this brand and I thought they did great!

  • So far - I'm so happy. I can't wait to come back and add before and after pics. The first time I washed my face, I was just taken aback. The soap seemed to come off my face more easily, and my face just didn't feel as tight and uncomfortable as it normally does in the time between washing/drying and moisturizer. Also, I find myself looking forward to my morning and evening face routines! So bizarre, haha! I love it!

    I also think it looks really cute. I was a little worried at first, but now I wish my bathroom was covered in filterbabies! (Make one for the tub, please oh please!)

  • THIS FILTER IS AMAZING!!! I am a licensed Esthetician and this has changed my skin so much. I have always had very sensitive dry skin. I never had problems breaking out but as I have been moving around a lot the different waters in different counties has really had a toll on me. As soon as I got the filter baby i saw HUGE improvements within a couple weeks. After a couple months my breakouts, redness and dryness went away!! I highly recommend everyone get one in every sink in their house lol. I would love them to make water filter for the showers as well! Thank you for changing my skin again this is coming from a licensed professional!

  • i feel like my skin is so much softer and less reactive since using this.

    i love my filterbaby! never going back - only thing is you have to be mindful of your water pressure so that you don't create issues between the filter & device. otherwise i think it's perfect.

  • Ridiculous delays in shipping that were badly communicated. I reached out SEVERAL times asking to cancel my order and I kept getting the run around. I asked over and over and over again and they kept delaying, until it finally did ship.

  • Filterbaby has crazy filters that I've never seen before and their customer service is amazing!

    Consider the duties for Canadian customers!

  • Absolutely amazing brand, product, and support team! I got my Filter Baby a week ago, and had troubles setting it up. The support team was super responsive and kind to help. After troubleshooting (which was easier then I thought it would be after struggling), I am even more in love with the product and how it elevated my water quality. My water went from drying out my skin and feeling harsh, to feeling soft and refreshing like spring water and gaming irritation and inflammation! For someone who has dry and acne prone skin, and has tried everything in the books, I can already tell after 1 week that Filterbaby has caused a huge difference in my skins texture and quality and how breakouts heal.

    Maybe make a video on troubleshooting difficult faucets, like I experienced with my own.

  • Due to my daughter’s psoriasis and acne prone skin, I started doing research on natural resolutions to these two complications. After reading about the possible side effects of daily tap water usage, I decided to start filtering the faucet water in the bathroom that she uses. Because she’s seeing positive results already, I decided to put two more in our house since we all deal with dry skin. We’re super impressed!!!

  • I recently moved from MI to NC and shortly after was having so many issues with my skin. I've always had dry combination skin and struggled with acne when I was younger but not such an issue now in my 20s. Our water was so high in chlorine you could smell it when you turned on the sink/shower. My skin was so dry it was cracking and I had active break outs all over my face. It was miserable and so uncomfortable. No matter what I did I could not seem to get it under control. After a friend recommended I try filterbaby I did some research and thought I'd give it a go. I received it in the mail and set up was super easy. Instructions were straight forward. Almost immediately I noticed my water felt softer and less harsh on my face. Then about two weeks in my face started to feel less dry and it was much more manageable. Then at about 6 weeks I noticed a huge difference with my acne. My breakouts were no longer active and were actually starting to heal! Now after using it for 3 months I can't imagine not having filter baby. My skin has cleared up and it's much more balanced and moisturized... I also have to note how amazing their customer service has been!! I had an issue with my first one where the water pressure at my apartment was too high and damaged it. When I contacted them they got back to me the very next day and were so sweet and understanding. They even said their newest model is updated to compensate for the issue. Thank you so much filter baby!!

    As I said previously they are working on know issues. We love a brand that is self aware and updates as they get feedback. Can't ask for much more.

  • This product made a significant improvement for my dry, cracked hands, and feels great for my face. I live in a dry climate and the filter has really improved my skin and helps it maintain its moisture. I would recommend it again and again!

    Feedback

    A sleeker, compact look would be an area of improvement, but overall I am satisfied with the product.

  • I'm not sure how I managed to survive without Filterbaby. This small purchase goes a long way, and my skin feels SO MUCH better because of it. People with dry or sensitive skin should definitely try this. FilterBaby is, in fact, my baby!!!
