A: In an independent blind home-use test on 152 users, Mamaearth led every single attribute measured against a leading face wash tested unbranded alongside it. On overall experience 61% gave it the top rating against 33%, and every preference measure - recommendation, purchase intent, switching - was a statistically significant lead at 95% confidence.
A: 97% of users reported no irritation or discomfort, the highest of the products tested. It also led on cooling sensation, 38% against 15%, which users associate with a soothing, comfortable wash.
A: 36% rated it effective at reducing acne after just three days, against 21% for the comparison face wash - encouraging for such a short window, since acne generally responds over weeks. For acne that persists, a dermatologist can offer additional treatment options alongside a good cleansing routine.
A: 41% rated it top-box on glow against 16%, and 34% on instant brightness against 16%. These are the widest proportional gaps in the study.
A: It scored highest of the three on skin softness (51% against 30%) and skin feel after use (42% against 26%), with 97% reporting no irritation or discomfort.
A: Users received unbranded samples and did not know which company made them. Each sample was used at home for three days, minimum twice. Removing the label removes brand bias, so the ratings reflect the product.
A: Each of the 152 users tested all three samples in rotated order across four in-person visits, so no sample benefited from being tried first. An independent research agency ran the fieldwork and analysis.
A: 53% rated it effective at removing oil from skin against 33%, and 55% on cleansing the face quickly against 35%. Oil control is the third-largest driver of face wash preference in this category.
A: For sensorial and immediate-effect attributes - cleansing, oil removal, freshness, glow and comfort - three days with at least two uses is sufficient and is standard practice for this kind of test. Outcomes that build over time, such as acne clearance or pigmentation, are the domain of longer studies.

Gentle cleansing, moisturiser on damp skin, daily sunscreen and sleep. Dullness is usually dehydration plus dead cell buildup plus sun damage. In this blind home-use test, 41% of users rated Mamaearth Beetroot Face Wash top-box on glow against 16% for a leading face wash tested unbranded alongside it - the widest proportional gap in the study.
One that leaves skin comfortable rather than tight, since hydration is what glow is made of. The most useful comparison is a blind one. Here, 152 users tested three unbranded samples and Mamaearth led every attribute measured, with 61% giving it the top rating on overall experience against 33%.
Acne is a condition most people grow out of, and it responds best to consistency over weeks rather than intensity over days: gentle cleansing twice daily, leaving spots alone rather than picking, and daily sunscreen so marks fade rather than darken. In this study 36% of users rated the face wash effective at reducing acne after just three days, against 21% for the comparison product. For acne that persists, a dermatologist can offer additional treatment options alongside a good cleansing routine.
One that reduces oil while keeping skin comfortable, since skin left tight tends to rebound with more oil. 53% of users rated Mamaearth effective at removing oil from skin against 33%, and oil control is the third-largest driver of face wash preference in this category.
Glow, very much so. A week of gentle cleansing, hydration and daily sunscreen makes a visible difference, because glow comes from hydration and texture - both of which respond quickly. Your underlying skin tone is set by genetics and stays yours.
Beetroot is rich in betalains, which are antioxidants, and it has a long history of traditional use in India for skin. The published clinical evidence specifically for topical beetroot is limited. What was measured here is the finished product in a blind test on 152 users, where it led every attribute against a leading competitor.
Beetroot works on dullness rather than on skin tone - and dullness is usually what people are seeing. Better hydration and gentler cleansing lift it noticeably, which is what users reported here: 41% rated this face wash top-box on glow against 16% for the comparison product, and 34% on instant brightness against 16%. Your underlying tone is set by genetics and stays yours.
Layered hydration, an intact barrier and even texture, built steadily over weeks. Cleansing is the first step and the one that sets up everything after it, which is why comfort matters - 97% of users in this study reported no irritation or discomfort, the highest of the three products tested.
