Basic high-efficiency showerhead
- Very efficient (1.5 gallons per minute)
- Inexpensive
- Compensates for low water pressure
- Noisy
- No extra spray settings
The Oxygenics SkinCare 60120 is very efficient, using only 1.5 gallons of water per minute, and much less expensive than most other extra-efficient showerheads. It has basic features, with only one spray setting and a plain design. Owner reviews for this showerhead are very positive overall, though some say that the spray is too fine and mist-like for their liking and others say it is rather noisy. Users say the Oxygenics showerhead produces a brisk spray, even if your home's water pressure is anemic. It's available in chrome, gold (for $15 more), and chrome and gold (for $8 more) finishes. An optional pre-installed variable pressure lever adds $10 to the total price. The handheld version of this showerhead, the Oxygenics BodySpa SkinCare 100-XLF25 (*Est. $25) uses 2.5 gpm. If you want more than one spray pattern, the American Standard FloWise 1660.717 (*Est. $45) has full spray, massaging turbine spray and combination spray. It uses 1.5 to 2 gpm.

Reviewer Justin Thomas chooses the Oxygenics SkinCare as his favorite low-flow showerhead, praising its "vigorous spray" and adaptability to water pressures from 20 psi to 100 psi. Thomas does note that it makes a "jet-like sound" that can be distracting for some.

Environmental consultant Anca Novacovici includes the Oxygenics SkinCare in a list of her picks for the best low-flow showerheads. It's unclear whether she has used this showerhead or not, however, as the description focuses on its features rather than comfort and effectiveness.
