Scalp diagnostic — white residue under the fingernail
⚙ The Fungus Living On 1 In 2 Adult Men

Scratch your scalp.
If there's white under the nail,
you have Malassezia.

A fungus on the human scalp. It spreads — to the beard, the nose, the hairline. Dandruff shampoo can't reach it. A cream can.

What Most Men Miss

It starts on the scalp. Then it follows the oil.

The flakes on your shoulders aren't dry skin. They're waste from Malassezia.

The scalp is where it starts. It follows the oil — to the beard, the nose, the hairline, the brows.

Not five problems. One fungus, spreading. You've been fighting on five fronts and treating each one separately.

Spot any of these on yourself?

1
The Beard Zone
Flakes along the jawline. Redness under the hair.
White flakes you brush off your collar. Skin under the beard feels raw.
2
The Nose Zone
Red creases beside the nose. Flakes between the brows.
A red strip from nose to cheek. Flakes come back a day after washing.
3
The Hairline Zone
Flakes at the hairline. Itchy temples.
Flakes creep onto your forehead. The itch comes back hours after you shampoo.
One? It's already started.
Two or three? It's spreading right now.
Why It Spreads

There's a colony under your skin.

Malassezia doesn't live on the surface. It lives under it — inside the follicles, where the oil is.

That's why nothing on the surface kills it.

And the worst thing you can do is scratch. It feels good. It's almost impossible not to. But every scratch cuts the skin — and the fungus buries deeper into those cuts. The more you scratch, the deeper it goes. The deeper it goes, the more it spreads.

First the beard. Then the nose. Then the hairline.

Malassezia colony spreading under the skin along the oil pathway
"It doesn't stop on its own. And it doesn't stay on the scalp."
— Dr. Michael Danford, Board-Certified Dermatologist

Left alone, it turns into eczema. Or psoriasis. Both much harder to get rid of.

Why Most Men Stay Stuck

Dandruff shampoo can't reach it.

Most dandruff shampoos use ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione. Both attack the fungus on the surface.

But Malassezia lives below the surface. The shampoo can't reach it.

A few days of relief. Then the itch comes back. Over and over, for years — because every round, the fungus grows back stronger. That's not on you. That's a tool that can't reach.

Rinses the surface. Misses the colony.
Ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione hit the surface. Malassezia lives below it. By tomorrow, the colony's feeding again.
Shampoo rinses the surface — Malassezia colony survives below
To kill it, you need something that gets under the skin — and stays long enough to suffocate the colony.
What Actually Works

Piroctone Olamine. In cream form.

Piroctone Olamine is the one antifungal that doesn't stop at the surface. It sinks into the follicle. Suffocates the colony. Reaches where ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione can't.

But it has to stay on the skin to absorb.

Shampoo rinses off in 90 seconds. The Piroctone Olamine never gets to work.

A cream stays. Hours of contact. Deep absorption.

Within days, the colony dies off. The flakes stop. The scratching stops. The skin returns to its natural state.

That cream is New Aura. It's what most dermatologists have started recommending. 40,000 men have already gotten it back.

  • Kills the colony, not just the flakes
  • Works on beard, nose, brows, scalp, and hairline
  • Won't strip your skin or dry the beard
  • No prescription. No appointment. No shaving it off.

Here's how it leaves your head.

📋 Days 1–2: The itch breaks
The colony loses oxygen for the first time in years. The scratching stops on its own.
  • ☺ Itch calms by day 2
  • ✦ Skin feels less reactive
  • ✗ Nothing visible yet — the work's underneath
📋 Week 1–2: The morning check shortens
Fewer flakes on the collar. The scan still happens — but faster. The pull-back from the black shirt weakens.
  • ✦ Flakes slow sharply
  • ⃝ Red strip beside the nose pulls back
  • ◷ You catch yourself not checking your shoulders
📋 Week 2–4: You stop checking the hand
Stroke the beard in a meeting. Nothing comes off. Beard line clears. Hairline flakes stop coming back. You wear black to dinner without thinking.
  • ☀ The post-shower mirror scan stops
  • ✦ You stop oiling three times a day to mask it
  • ↻ The Zoom-thumbnail flinch is gone
📋 Month 2+: Forgetting
The beard's back to being part of you. Days pass without checking. You forget to bring the cream on a trip and don't notice. Someone asks if you've changed something. You realize they're right.
  • ✓ You stop thinking about it
  • ♡ You stop apologizing for it in photos
  • ⌁ The cream becomes maintenance, not the project

How New Aura works

Piroctone Olamine
The Killer
Piroctone Olamine
Penetrates the follicle. Suffocates the Malassezia colony where it hides. Reaches where ketoconazole and zinc pyrithione can't.
Salicylic Acid Blend
The Clearer
Salicylic Acid Blend
Lifts the dead skin and trapped oil the fungus hides under. Clears the path to the colony.
Barrier Soothers
The Calmer
Barrier Soothers
Calm the redness while the fungus dies off. Rebuild the barrier so it doesn't get re-colonized.
Leave-On Cream
The Difference
Leave-On Cream
Shampoo gets 90 seconds. A leave-on cream gets hours. That's the difference between annoying Malassezia and killing it.

Why this works when shampoo doesn't.

Dandruff Shampoo
  • Ketoconazole / zinc pyrithione
  • Attacks the surface
  • 90 seconds of contact
  • Colony survives below
  • Comes back stronger
New Aura
  • Piroctone Olamine
  • Penetrates the follicle
  • Hours of contact
  • Suffocates the colony
  • Doesn't come back
Flakes are the surface. The colony is below it.

Was three months from shaving it off. Tired of fighting it. Wife told me to try one more thing. Now I run my hand through it and don't check the hand. Almost shaved off the best beard I've ever had over a fungus I didn't know I had.

"Same conversation every time. 'Nizoral, T-Sal, Head & Shoulders Clinical, three derms.' Same products, same failure point — they all work the surface. The colony lives below it. Treat below, the file closes. Guys tell me the same thing six weeks in: they forgot they used to check their shoulders."

Give it two weeks.

The itch breaks. The flakes stop. The morning check shortens, then stops.

A few weeks in, you stroke the beard, don't check the hand, and don't notice you didn't.

If you don't get to that day, email us inside 120 days. Full refund. Keep the jars. We'd rather you find what works than fight over $44.

Common questions

Will I have to shave my beard to use this?
No. The cream goes on the skin under the beard, not the hair. Most guys land here tired of considering shaving it off. The point is not having to.
Is Malassezia the same as dandruff?
No. Dandruff is the flakes. Malassezia is the fungus that causes them. That's why dandruff shampoo stops the flakes for a few days but doesn't stop the cause. New Aura kills the cause.
What makes Piroctone Olamine different from ketoconazole?
Ketoconazole attacks Malassezia on the surface. Piroctone Olamine penetrates the follicle and suffocates the colony underneath. Same fungus, two different depths. One works for a few days. The other works for good.
How do I use it?
Thin layer on clean, dry skin. Once a day. Hit any zone with redness or flakes — beard, jaw, nose, brows, scalp, hairline. Leave it on. Don't rinse. The longer it sits, the more it works.
Can I use it on a long beard?
Yes. Work it into the skin under the beard with your fingertips. That's where the colony lives — not the hair. Any beard length: get it on the skin, leave it on.
Will it work if it's already on my hairline or nose?
Yes. Same fungus, same fix. Treat every zone at once. That's how you stop the spread.
Can I keep using my dandruff shampoo?
You can — but you won't need to. Once the colony suffocates, there's nothing left for ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione to fight. The flakes stop forming.
How fast will I see results?
Itch breaks by day 2 — that's the colony losing oxygen. Redness drops in week one. Full clearing in 2–3 weeks. Older colonies take 4–6. The 120-day refund is there so you don't have to gamble.
What if it doesn't work for me?
120-day refund. No questions. Email support@trynewaura.com. Keep the jars.
Does it sting or strip my skin?
No. It's built not to strip you. Sensitive-skin guys are a big part of the customer base. You'll feel calmer, not more reactive.
