Haircare buffs are racing to Amazon to make use of the shopping giant’s Black Friday week discounts, in which a set by L’Oreal Paris that shoppers are describing as ‘insane’ due to the ‘shimmering’ and smooth results has been massively reduced. Usually costing £57.96, the L’Oréal Paris Elvive Glycolic Gloss for Dull Porous Hair set has been slashed to just £24.19 – beating Boots’ price of £28.98.
Containing the brand’s Shampoo, Conditioner, Lamination Treatment and Leave-In Serum, this bundle is designed to give you the ‘shiniest hair of your life’ thanks to its glycolic acid-powered products. The L’Oreal Paris set promises to transform your hair for up to five washes, giving it two times more shine and leaving it 88% smoother.
Crafted with The Gloss Complex which contains skin-loving ingredient glycolic acid, the set’s formulas is made with “conditioning agents to seal cuticles with a lasting shine glaze”. These work to ‘penetrate the hair’s fibre improving shine, smoothness and strength’.

Injecting life and volume into dull hair, it’s been a real hit with shoppers snapping the set up for less on Amazon, garnering an overall 4.4 star rating, with one in disbelief at the change in her locks. “I have seen this set advertised over social media and the rave reviews influencers have been giving but the RRP was just too much in my eyes,” they said. “Finding this set on amazon for half the price was a bargain that could not be missed. First, the smell of this product is gorgeous! Even the next day after wash day I could smell it!
“And the shine you get from using all 4 products is unbelievable. It felt so smooth and soft to the touch and was literally shimmering in the light.”
They concluded: “My hair has not been dyed in a few months but after using this everyone kept complementing me on my new hair and they were shocked to learn it was just from using this set. 100000% would get again!”
Its scent has received high praise from another with one shopper adding: “The smell is amazing. People keep complimenting on how they smell [it] and that’s 3/4 days after washing it! Makes my hair feel really soft and when I dry it, it really looks shiny and sleek.
“HOWEVER, this is not magical! It will NOT change your hair’s nature, it will only amplify its beauty. I have not-fine-not-thick hair that’s wavy, and this makes the [waves] look like I came out of the salon. Which I love. And they stay that way for about 4 days.”
It’s been marvelled at by one curly-haired user, too, for helping brings their curls back as they remarked: “The shampoo is very rich so you only need to use a small amount. I have very thick, frizzy shoulder length hair. After using this my hair gets it’s curl back. Use a microfiber turban and don’t rub dry. You’ll be amazed!“
While it worked wonders for some people, other shoppers were left slightly disappointed when their experience using the set didn’t match up to expectation. One shopper left a three star review and said: “I love the smell of it. I was hoping for a nourished feeling but it just feels like regular shampoo & conditioner.”
Another added: “I’m afraid the jury’s out a little on this one. I actually waited as long as I could to do the review as I wanted to keep trying this set out to make a final conclusion, but I’m still a little unsure.” They shared how ‘there wasn’t the high gloss shine I was expecting. My hair did feel clean and fairly soft but not really any different to other products I use’ and added how they ‘found my hair got slightly greasier after day 2’, declaring it as ‘nothing special’.
