Mamaearth Charcoal Face Wash is lying on my shelf from such a long time. I personally find Mamaearth Skincare Products okay-ish neither great nor bad. That is the reason the Charcoal Face Wash didn’t really grabbed my attention at first.
When I got to know that a lot of online readers are interested to know about Mamaearth Skincare Products Reviews, I decided to share my experience with each of the Mamaearth Product, one by one on my blog.
From all the products I ever tried from this brand, some were good, some were average, while some gave me breakouts. Most of the time, I wasn’t really able to see what exactly the product is doing to my skin or is even doing something?
With Mamaearth in Skincare Products, I am always in doubt whether this going to work or give me breakouts. It is all about vibes I guess.
But that is just how I feel. It is always possible that something which didn’t work for me might have worked for you.
Let us move further on how the Mamaearth Charcoal Face Wash worked on my sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Review – Mamaearth Charcoal Face Wash
My Skin Type: Combination to Oily in Summers, Dry in Winters, Sensitive, and Acne-Prone Skin
Packaging: It comes in an opaque squeezable tube with a flip-flop cap and a nozzle to squeeze out the product. All the details such as expiry date, ingredients, and other information can be found easily on the labels.
The product is not at all travel-friendly as once I opened it and started using it daily, the face wash was all over the cap leaking, formed into sticky jelly.
Fragrance: It has Mixed Tea-Tree oil fragrance. It felt like I am smelling a mix of some oils.
My Experience
I start by taking the required amount onto my palm. The texture and consistency is somewhat like a runny gel with a hint of charcoal particles in it.
It formed a good amount of lather and I liked it. It is a bit unsatisfying for my mind when a face wash doesn’t lather well. haha!
After giving a good massage to my skin in gentle circular motions, I washed it off leaving my skin clean and soft. There was neither stripping dryness, nor a soapy layer left behind.

Mamaearth Charcoal Face Wash actually did nice in terms of washing away the excess oil and dirt. I could feel my skin clean and bright. Because it isn’t too drying, I think dry skin people can consider using it too as I didn’t found it over-drying.
But, it gave me pimples. My skin started breaking out and there were red painful pimples.
Another negative thing I noticed was, whatever the leftover amount is on the cap, it forms into a sticky slime after some time and it looks so weird.

Summing up…
Mamaearth Charcoal Face Wash with Activated Charcoal and Coffee didn’t work for my sensitive skin. It lathers well and does a nice job of cleansing away excess oil and dirt without leaving the skin dry or stretchy. Neither it leaves a soapy slippery behind. But it gave me breakouts. Really painful pimples. Another downside is the leftover amount around the cap forms into a sticky slime which looks weird.
Pros
- Cleanses well
- Leaves skin clean and bright
- Removes Excess oil and dirt
- Leaves no dryness or slippery layer
Cons
- Gave me breakouts
- The leftover product on the cap forms into sticky slime
- Not travel-friendly
