QEI+ Active Multi Action Serum for Even Tone & Hyperpigmentation 48 ml/1.62 oz
Worth flagging before anything else. This is a skin serum rather than a hair one, despite where it sits in the range. QEI+ Active make it for the look of uneven tone and dark marks.
Sweet almond oil does the conditioning work, and it is a sensible choice for something meant to be used daily, since it softens without sitting heavy on the skin. Alongside it are toning vegetable extracts. Together they work on the appearance of tone and on skin texture rather than on anything below the surface.
The bottle is 48 ml, which suits targeted use on smaller areas such as the face, elbows or knees rather than all-over application. Put it on clean skin and let it absorb before anything goes over the top. It layers under a moisturiser without pilling, so it slots into a routine you already have. Patch test first if your skin reacts easily to new products.

Application tips
Serums go on before anything heavier. Cleanse, pat dry, then spread a few drops over the areas where tone is uneven and let it settle for a minute before a moisturiser follows.
Morning and evening suits most people; once a day is fine if your skin is reactive. Daylight undoes brightening work faster than anything, so pair it with SPF from the first bottle.
Results
Thin enough to disappear under a cream, which is what lets it sit in a routine rather than replacing half of it.
Dark marks lose definition gradually, so the difference tends to show in photographs before it shows in the mirror. Texture smooths, the surface takes light more evenly, and the almond oil leaves enough slip that skin does not feel stripped afterwards.
Composition
- Sweet Almond Oil
- Softens and conditions the skin surface so it feels supple rather than tight
