  • Noticeably softer, cleaner water

FilterBaby earns strong reviews for delivering softer-feeling water that leaves skin less dry and hair smoother, with easy, minutes-long installation and no noticeable drop in shower pressure. Reviews also flag drawbacks: occasional faucet incompatibility and tricky adapters, intermittent low flow in filter mode, bulk on small sinks, and repeated complaints about customer service and subscription/return policies.

  • I thought everything about the filterbaby was awesome! It really was pretty easy to install - and I suck at putting most things together lol. I thought one thing that could be improved would be adding the names of the parts used to install the filterbaby on the actual parts or by them on the box. I figured it out with a little trial and error, but it could have been a tiny bit clearer.

  • My experience with Filterbaby was amazing! Such an easy install and I could tell a difference so quickly! No more smell with my water. I need one for every faucet!

  • The only positive proces was ordering it. I received it within a reasonable time frame. After that point, it’s been downhill from my experience with the product to the customer service. Their 100% fit guarantee is false and their risk free guarantee is false as well. I destroyed my aerator in the process of trying to remove it. With their customer service, it takes days to receive a response (or receive no response at all especially if you can’t use the product). I spent almost a week and hours of my life trying to install it. When I did the video call to help with install on day 5 (bc there are limited time slots for an appt), it was determined that they couldn’t get this to fit on my faucet. When told they’d send me a label, I specifically asked the agent if I’d be fiscally responsible for the return shipping and she told me basically not to worry about it and I wouldn’t be (since it wasn’t that I was dissatisfied, it was because it couldn’t even be attached). So now I’m out return shipping, possibly a restocking fee (which is about 15% of the total cost of the product), and cost to replace broken aerator. Had to reach out to them to get the actual return label. (Once you submit the return, you have to fill out a form that they review prior to sending out the label). Ordered another item prior to this experience and after 10 days of no notification, reached out on my own, and then they shipped it the following day. I’m currently 19 days from placing the order of they item and have not physically received (but it is in transit). My only hope is that I can leave a positive review of that product bc so far I am beyond dissatisfied with how this company operates.

  • Been using the Filterbaby for a month now and it doesn't leave my skin tight and dry. My state has very hard water, and this has been an easy installation item to help counteract the hardness of the water.

  • I've struggled with acne and redness for a while, and after using this product, I noticed a significant improvement. My skin looks calmer, the inflammation has decreased, and the overall redness has faded. I’m so impressed with how quickly I saw improvements. Within 1-2 weeks I noticed the changes! highly recommend!

  • Filterbaby has absloutely changed my skin for the better! The water where I am out grossed me out completely when I ran a pot of water and it came out super cloudy never experienced anything like it before so I started looking around for filters for my sinks. Filter baby is amazing and to top it off its pink so it just gives an even more cuter sleek look. The settings are amazing. Love my filterbaby and cannot wait to get the shower head.

  • I’ve been using FilterBaby faucet and shower head for about a month now and have already seen results! I’ve always had dry skin and stubborn redness on my cheeks that have finally improved. I also feel like my scalp isn’t itchy and my eczema isn’t as arresting since switching too.

  • First time filter baby purchase. Easy install and looks great on my bathroom faucet. I am already feeling and seeing a difference in my hands and face. Happy customer!

  • Best thing

    I love the filter baby it took care my stubborn ance and cleared up face in a month. It’s a process but just stick to it and you’ll see the results. It is easily to install and I love that you can switch it from filter usage to tap water. I would highly recommend it to others.

  • 1 Month using Filterbaby

    I have been using my filterbaby for 1 month now and I love it! I can really see a difference in my skin as it has a glow to it now. My skin absorbs my skin care products better and never looks dull.

  • Best purchase ever.

    It's been only 2 weeks and I'm so happy with my results. I thought it would only work on skin with acne problems but it totally worked with my sensitive skin type. My skin doesn't get irritated much and my skintone is now even.

  • Absolutely loved it! Cleared my acne in about 2 weeks!! Definitely worth the price!! I was given the Filterbaby 1.0 as a gift!!!

  • Great filter for my sensitive skin

    I've struggled with sensitive skin and rosacea and acne. This filter has helped me keep my skin issues at bay and allowed my skincare products to actually work. Highly recommend!!

  • The product is amazing. I have noticed a significant difference in my acne since using it for about 3 weeks. My breakouts are minimal compared to before and overall my skin seems healthier and much less dry. My only complaint was their customer service. I had ordered 2 and the second never arrived and they wouldn’t assist in resolving the missing one.

  • My face is cleaner

    Absolutely love it. You will need to continue using it to see some effect. One month in, I do feel the water is cleaner.

  • loved my experience w filter baby! my water is so much cleaner and my skin looks sooo good. the customer service was amazing as well

  • I have had acne for the past couple of months and nothing was helping, I was taking pills and using the best skin care products available until I watched a tik tok video and decided to try this product and it have changed my skin 100%!

  • I’ve been using FilterBaby for a few years now and ever since the first time i used it, I WAS HOOKED! Immediately I noticed a difference in taste of water, when brushing my teeth. And since then, i’ve never looked back!

  • If you do "everything" for your skin, this is a must add

    One thing that was shocking is how much minerals there were behind my faucet cap when I removed it. I don't know what it is but you can easily see how this material in your water would be harsh against your skin. I have struggled with chronic acne of all types for 15 years, accutane twice, I mean I do everything for my skin. I think this is really a great step to add to your skincare (for anyone) but especially if no matter what you do your acne won't go away. It is so logical and if you're like me doing everything you can for your skin, don't let this be something you don't fix. You can tell the water is softer. I have the first design and I appreciate that it still doesn't get in the way of my sink or when I use the normal faucet. At first it seemed really large and in the way but immediately I hardly noticed it. I don't know the extent of how much its improved my skin since my routine is so extensive but if you struggle with acne this is a must.
