Don't buy if you like strong water pressure
Easy to install but dramatically decreased my water pressure for my shower. Used for two months and couldn't stand it anymore.

Item came damaged and seem to have been opened and repackaged. Reached out to Filterbaby directly to let them know as they were also running a Black Friday deal in tandem for a free gift when ordering from target. Have not heard back from them and have even followed up.

New addition to my routine
901534As a college student, I rely on my haircare and skincare routine, but the hard water in my dorm was either decent or subpar. I had previously used a filter baby for my sink and loved it so much that I had to try the shower filter. I installed the Filterbaby filter (which came in the cutest packaging), and the change has been incredible. It was super easy to set up. My skin is clearer, feels cleaner, and my skincare products actually absorb better. My hair is now so much softer, and I've noticed less fall-out. This filter is a total game-changer for keeping up a good self-care routine in college. A new staple in my routine!

I've noticed a big difference in my hair since using this filter! I have less frizz and my hair is super shiny! I also found the filter super easy to install! I have hard water where I live so it was really important to me to find a product that would help filter out all the minerals coming through and this product delivered! I would recommed this to everyone!

Love love love the filter baby so far. My skin felt softer after the first use. The quality of the water was noticeably better. I am hopeful it will continue to help my skin.

This is such a scam! Wanted to see if I’d get any results, skin or hair difference and after 90 days nothing, but figured let’s see if the filter makes a difference in another 90 days. Nope! I couldn’t even get the top off as many others say it’s basically super glued on so you end up wasting $40 and have to buy the whole kit over again. Scam!

Love this Product!
I absolutely love this shower filter. I have noticed such a difference in my hair and skin since adding this filter onto my shower. I live in a college town so the water isn't the best, but after adding this to my shower I noticed such a difference in the filtration. Installing it onto my shower was quick and efficient. Super easy to do. Definitely recommend if you are looking to add some extra filter on your shower head.

I absolutely love this filter for my shower. My hair is feeling lighter and more hyrdrated and since installing my filter I have had less breakouts on my skin. This filter was easy to install and has easily been the best addition to my shower.

I’ve been using the Filterbaby Diamond Series for a while now, and it’s honestly worth it. Installation was super easy (took maybe two minutes), and the difference in my water is noticeable—my skin feels softer, and my hair isn’t as dry anymore. I love that it uses the same filter refill as the Target Essential Series, so replacements are convenient. Definitely a solid upgrade if you want cleaner water and an easy setup.

Clean water made easy! I love this filter faucet — the water tastes so much fresher and cleaner compared to regular tap. It was super easy to install, and the pressure is great. I use it every day for cooking, coffee, and drinking water. It saves money on bottled water and looks sleek in my kitchen. Definitely worth it!

Game Changer
My hair has really gotten very dry, and brittle and was experience breaking hair, every time i washed, switched shampoos/conditioner couldn’t figure it what was going on. Bought this and when i say after 1 wash day my hair is back to normal, zero dryness, full of life not finding hair everywhere.. literally left me speechless. We have hard water and i never thought it was from that until now, my husband loved it so much he made me buy them for all the showers and we just purchased the filterbaby sink ones as well. I’m now a filterbaby lifer. I can’t wait to see how badly the filter is in 2-3 months :/

I’ve been using the "Filterbaby Essential Shower Filter" for a few days now, and I love it. My hair and skin feel so much better after showering. It’s nice knowing I’m washing with cleaner water. The installation was super easy. I definitely recommend it if you want to improve how your hair and skin feel. It’s one of those small upgrades that make your daily routine feel healthier.

Totally Worth It!
I’ve been using the Filterbaby Shower Filter for about a week now, and I’m honestly amazed. My hair feels so much smoother and less frizzy. I didn’t realize how much my old water was affecting it until now. I took a photo because the shine is unreal, and I even filmed the water flow since it actually looks clearer! My skin also feels softer after showering. If you want better skin and shinier hair, it’s definitely worth the splurge in my opinion.
