JenA21, manufacturer-hosted verified purchaser reviewPremière Fondant Repairing Conditioner
A recurring complaint from a smaller group of reviewers describes the whole pre-shampoo, shampoo, and conditioner system causing significant shedding or breakage, especially on fine or previously weakened hair.
Several reviewers say the fragrance is strong or perfume-like enough that they stopped using the product despite otherwise liking the results.
A few reviewers with balayage or highlighted hair say the line stripped or faded their color faster than expected.
Many reviewers with damaged, over-processed, or color-treated hair report it feels noticeably softer, smoother, and less broken after regular use.
Price check
Cost per ounce, in context
Cost per ounce against every product of this type we have priced, each at the size it is most often sold in. Value labels are computed from that percentile and from how many products that do the same job cost less; they are comparisons, not judgements about a brand.
$7.06/oz vs $7.69/oz — within about the same cost per ounce.
Every mark sits on one distribution because these are compared against the same set: 699 conditioners with a computable unit price.
Computed from cost per ounce against every product of this type we have priced, and from how many products that do the same job cost less. It is a comparison, not a judgement about the brand.

How this page was made
- This page is assembled from the same researched records the individual product pages render: identity, each ingredient list as printed, each brand's own claims, dated price observations, and review themes written in our researchers' own words. Nothing on it is written per comparison.
- We do not rank these against each other. Which of them suits you depends on your hair, and that is what the consultation works out.
- The formula similarity percentage is a stored, precomputed number: position-weighted overlap of the two ingredient lists blended with agreement on the attributes we derive. It measures how alike two formulas are, not how well either works.
- The value band is a fixed label over two stored numbers: this product’s cost per ounce as a percentile of every product of this type we have priced, each at the size it is most often sold in, and how many products we score as doing the same job cost at least a quarter less per ounce.
- The "Is this right for you?" panel reads only your own consultation answers, and it applies exactly the filters our recommendation engine applies. It is computed when you load the page and is never stored on it.
- 10 sources were consulted across the products on this page.
- Ingredient order tells you relative amount only above roughly 1%. Prices are observations on the dates shown and change without notice. We do not sell these products and take no placement fees.
- This is cosmetic information, not medical advice, and nothing here diagnoses or treats a health condition.
