An affordable hair treatment on sale at Boots has become beloved by beauty buffs for its shine-boosting qualities that make it “better than Olaplex“.
With the haircare trend being massively popular, it can feel like there are too many products to choose from. For “instant” results, you don’t need an appointment at the salon, just L’Oréal Paris Elvive’s Glycolic Gloss 5 Minute Lamination Treatment.
For those with dry, dull hair, this rinse-off gloss complex uses a powerful formula to give your locks shine that “lasts for days”. Unlike other traditional hair masks, it uses glycolic acid to leave it nourished and “healthy looking” after just one wash.
Usually, a 200ml bottle of this lamination treatment would cost £15.99, but shoppers can save £5.99 in Boots’ £10 Tuesday deals exclusively today (September 3). Since Superdrug and Lookfantastic still stock it at full-price, you might want to take advantage of the flash-sale.
A Boots Beauty Award nominee, the Glycolic Gloss 5 Minute Lamination Treatment “penetrates deeply” to smooth and seal hair cuticles, leaving you with salon style results. Meanwhile, the glaze offers a “lasting shine effect” that is said to last five days.
Boots shoppers have rated the Lamination Treatment 4.4 stars, as hundreds of them have left glowing reviews that say it provides “salon quality” results, as one of them said they will “clear the shelves of it”.
One five-star review read: “Amazing! Better than Olaplex. Absolutely amazing! I’ve tried olaplex in the past and this out does it. Smells absolutely gorgeous too.”

A second praised: “Don’t usually leave reviews but had to come on here after using this for the first time the other day! Omg this is SUCH A GREAT product. Felt so buttery and smooth going onto the hair and felt even better as I was washing it out. My hair was visibly shinier and feels healthier after using. I’m also a big fan of the other glycolic gloss hair products by Loreal so I think using them alongside each other is the most effective but this has got to be my favourite product from the range. 10/10 would recommend!!”
A third beauty buff gushed: “If you were to buy just one new product this year – you are looking at it! The best laminating treatment in a bottle, literally! You will have salon quality tresses at a fraction of the price. Highly recommended!”
A fourth happy customer added: “Wow, loreal you certainly have surpassed yourselves. My hair is soft and manageability is like having brand new hair. I really am impressed and will clear the shelves of it. I wish this had been made years ago.”
Some shoppers agreed that, while their hair was softer, it wasn’t particularly shinier, as one wrote: “The L’Oreal Paris Elvive Glycolic Gloss Lamination Treatment was easy and simple to use. I didn’t really notice if it was more shinier than usual. The hair was slightly softer than usual.”
