Quench Botanics Sunscreen Review: Is It Worth the Hype on Reddit?
Swipe through Indian skincare subreddits and you’ll catch mixed signals about Quench Botanics’ sunscreen.
Some hail it as a dewy game-changer, others say it made their skin too oily, or their eyes burn so badly they had to wash it off. With such strong contrasts, is it a hero product or hype?
Let’s deep-dive into Reddit reactions, customer reviews, and leave room for nuance. For brands, it's a moment to use motion narratives and transparency—not just vanity images.
On r/IndianSkincareAddicts, users often extol its dewy glow:
“It goes on really well with a slight dewy finish… I don’t notice any CC because of it at the end of the day (which I do with other sunscreens)”
“I've used two tubes… great filters and I've never once tanned… place with a UV Index of 10–11”
Upvote-worthy praise—but there’s criticism too. Over on r/IndianBeautyTalks, one user called the tinted sunscreen a fail:
“It made my face extremely greasy and sticky … cheap, but not worth it. Never repurchasing.”
And in a longer-haul thread, r/indianbeautyhauls, a user mentioned burning eyes and heaviness:
“It started stinging my skin… eyes were burning so badly I had to wash it off… I absolutely hated using it.”
Flipkart reviews—4.5★ average, with 1,187 ratings—lean positive:
User testimonials show real love, but remember, Reddit reflects strong extremes.
Quench’s polarising reaction? A chance to educate with motion content—not just hero shots. Here’s how Admigos can help:
Demonstrate how much SPF to apply, how it absorbs, and how to build tinted vs non-tinted versions.
Overlay UV index warnings. Show real-time timers for reapplication and “no white cast” lighting transitions.
Choose your skin: oily, dry, sensitive. Swipe to see how the product behaves—shine, glow, or redness—on each.
Pull in honest Reddit excerpts:
“Slight dewy finish—no need to reapply hours later.” “Terrible — greasy and sticky for me.”
Show these captions over texture visuals, reinforcing trust through honesty.
Quench Botanics’ sunscreen is not universally loved, but the buzz is real. For many, it's lightweight, glowy, and glow-making. For some, it’s greasy or irritating. That truth isn’t a weakness—it’s authenticity, if visualised well.
Admigos helps brands turn Reddit sceptics into engaged audiences by blending real experiences, texture-focused motion, and honest education.
In the era of informed consumers, transparency sells—and your visuals can be proof.
