What Eskiin Is
Eskiin is a beauty and wellness brand that makes filtered showerheads. The company’s founding story, as described on its site, is rooted in a search for clean water that evolved from drinking water filtration into shower filtration after the founder noticed improvements in skin and hair health. Eskiin’s position is that the water coming out of your showerhead — and specifically the impurities and dissolved chemicals in that water — meaningfully affects the health of your skin and hair over time.
The brand sells two showerhead types (wall-mount and handheld), replacement filters, and a line of complementary shower aromatherapy products. All models install without tools in approximately three minutes and connect to a standard shower arm.
The Case for Filtering Shower Water
Tap water in the United States is treated with chlorine or chloramines to make it safe to drink. Those disinfectants are necessary for municipal water safety but are not designed with skin or hair health in mind. Chlorine is a known skin irritant at higher concentrations, and some people with sensitive skin or eczema-prone conditions find that showering in heavily chlorinated water exacerbates dryness and irritation.
Hard water — water with high dissolved calcium and magnesium content — is a separate issue. Hard water is common across large areas of the US (particularly the midwest, southwest, and southeast) and is associated with mineral buildup on the hair shaft that can affect texture, manageability, and color treatment results.
Removing these from shower water is the core premise behind filtered showerheads. Eskiin positions this as a skin and hair care intervention rather than a water safety issue. The brand’s claims that its filter improves skin hydration, prevents hair loss, and clears acne are stated benefits — they are brand-attributed, not independently published in peer-reviewed research — and results will vary based on your local water quality.
The Products
Eskiin’s wall-mount Filtered Showerhead is the original and most prominent product. It mounts in place of your existing showerhead, connects to the existing shower arm, and requires no plumbing work. The built-in filter sits in the base and twists out for replacement.
The Filtered Handheld Showerhead V2 is the second-generation handheld version, offering the same filtration system in a flexible-hose format. The current handheld models are rated at 1.8 GPM — within the federal 2.0 GPM standard and a reasonable flow rate for daily showering.
The Eskiin Filtered Handheld Bundle pairs the V2 showerhead with a supply of replacement filters, making it a convenient starting kit. Replacement filters are also available individually and in 1-year supply packs for both the original and V2 models. The brand states filters should be replaced every 90 days.
Shower Steamers are a separate aromatherapy add-on: they dissolve in shower steam and do not interact with the filtration system, but the brand sells them as part of the broader clean-shower experience.
Shipping, Returns, and Installation
Eskiin ships with free standard delivery and no minimum purchase. The 60-day shower guarantee is a full-refund, no-questions-asked policy — the brand is essentially inviting buyers to test the product against their specific water quality before committing.
Installation takes three minutes with no tools. The showerhead attaches to any standard shower arm thread.
Is Eskiin Worth It vs. Alternatives?
The main competition in the filtered showerhead category includes Jolie (which has become a well-known premium brand in this space with Kinetic Ionic Filtration technology and similar skin/hair claims) and Aquasana. Jolie and Eskiin have comparable positioning, price ranges, and aesthetic; Jolie publishes more detailed filtration specifications on its website. Aquasana is more technically detailed about the filtration media it uses.
Eskiin’s strongest differentiator is the 60-day no-questions-asked guarantee, which is longer than most competitors offer. For someone unsure whether filtered shower water will make a measurable difference in their specific water conditions, a 60-day trial with a full refund option is a meaningful safety net.
How to Know If Your Water Warrants a Filter
The question most buyers are really asking is: will this make a difference for my specific water? The practical answer depends on two factors: your water’s hardness level and its chlorine or chloramine concentration.
The US Geological Survey provides free maps showing water hardness levels across the country, and most municipal water utilities publish an annual Water Quality Report (also called a Consumer Confidence Report) that includes the chloramine or chlorine levels in your local supply. Residents of Phoenix, Las Vegas, Dallas, Denver, and Indianapolis are commonly in hard water areas; San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle are known for softer water.
If your water is moderately hard or your utility reports higher disinfectant concentrations, a filtered showerhead has a plausible mechanism for improvement. If you are already on a whole-house water softener, the benefit at the showerhead specifically is reduced. The 60-day guarantee from eskiin effectively turns this uncertainty into a low-risk experiment: test it against your actual water conditions and return it if you do not notice a difference.
The eskiin replacement filter schedule — every 90 days — is a real ongoing cost to factor in. The 1-year supply pack is the most economical route for buyers who commit to the product long-term, as it brings the per-filter replacement down relative to buying them individually.

This review is based on the eskiin product pages and information at eskiin.com, publicly available research on chlorine in municipal water and hard water effects on skin and hair, and the brand’s stated warranty, return, and installation claims. We did not install or use any eskiin products.
