How it works

From "where do I even start?" to a plan in minutes

No forms to decode. No affiliate noise. Just three simple steps.

1

Tell Aura your goal

In your own words — "help my acne," "thinning hair," "sleep better," "more energy." Aura asks a few smart follow-ups, never a wall of forms.

2

It gets specific to you

Aura factors in your skin type, tone, hair type, heritage, budget and preferences — vegan, fragrance-free, organic, halal & kosher-conscious — to match what truly fits.

3

Get your routine + where to buy

A ranked plan with how and why each product fits, an honest timeline for results, and a direct link to buy it at the best store. That's it.

Why it's worth $29

A concierge, not a one-time quiz

Most people waste far more than $29 a month on products that don't fit. Aura is the opposite — here's what your subscription actually does for you.

A real routine, not a list

AM and PM steps in the right order, with how to layer actives safely — so the products you buy actually work together.

Honest timelines

When you'll actually see results — so you don't quit two weeks early or throw money at something that was always going to take months.

Ask Aura anything

"Can I use these together?" "Is this pregnancy-safe?" Follow-up answers about your specific plan, any time you need them.

Spot the savings

See where a $12 product beats the $80 one — and skip the months of expensive trial-and-error that fits nobody.

Reorder reminders

Never run out mid-routine. Aura keeps you on track with gentle check-ins and re-order nudges timed to how you actually use things.

Knows its limits

For anything medical, Aura points you to a licensed provider — Curology, Hims, Hers, Ro — and never pretends to diagnose. Guidance you can trust.

Built for your biology

The mainstream ignores textured and coily hair, melanin-rich skin, and halal, kosher and vegan formulations. Aura matches to your ethnicity, hair and skin type, age and dietary rules — so the plan actually fits you.

Why Aura is different

Built for you — not for a brand.

Most beauty and skin tools you'll find belong to a store or a brand. Sephora, Clinique, Neutrogena, La Roche-Posay and Dermalogica all offer "skin analysis" — but they only ever recommend their own shelf. Aura is the opposite: it searches the whole U.S. market and ranks by what actually fits you, never by brand and never by commission.

For Nutrition and Fitness, Aura builds an educational meal framework or training plan around your goals — and always points you to the right licensed professional (a Registered Dietitian, physician, or physical therapist) for anything clinical. It's general-wellness guidance, not medical nutrition therapy or physical therapy.

Why you can trust it

No sponsorships. No data selling. Just what fits you.

Essence makes money one way: your subscription. Aura earns no commission on what you buy and takes no brand sponsorships, so a $6 drugstore product can out-rank an $80 one if it fits you better. Anything sensitive you share — a photo, your heritage, a health note — is used in the moment to sharpen your matches, then discarded. Rankings stay honest because there's nothing else pulling on them.

Aura cross-references reputable, publicly available clinical and consumer-health sources — Mayo Clinic, MedlinePlus, the American Academy of Dermatology and GoodRx — and always recommends you consult a licensed professional. Aura is educational, not medical advice, and is not a substitute for a doctor.

Good to know

Questions people ask before starting

How do I pay, and can I cancel?

Payments run securely through Stripe. Choose $29/month or save with $199/year. You can cancel anytime, for free, from your account — no calls, no retention hoops. When you cancel you keep access through the period you've already paid for.

Do you offer refunds?

We don't offer refunds, but there's no lock-in either: cancellation is always free and takes effect at the end of your current month, so you're never charged again for a month you didn't want.

How does usage work — will I ever be charged extra automatically?

No — you're never charged automatically for usage. Your plan includes 60 credits every month (a recommendation is 1 credit; a Nutrition or Fitness plan is 2; re-asking about a result you already have is free). Most people use only a handful, and your credits refill each billing period. If you ever run out early, new requests simply pause until your credits reset — nothing is charged. If you want more before then, you can choose a one-time top-up ($9.99 for 40, $19.99 for 100, or $100 for 1000 credits) that you confirm yourself and that never auto-renews. Top-up credits carry over until you use them.

Is this medical advice?

No. Aura gives educational product guidance to help you shop with confidence — it doesn't diagnose, treat, or prescribe. It cross-references reputable, publicly available clinical and consumer-health sources (Mayo Clinic, MedlinePlus, the American Academy of Dermatology, GoodRx) and, for anything prescription — acne, hair regrowth, weight, focus, sexual health — points you to a licensed provider. Aura is not a substitute for a doctor; always consult a licensed professional before starting something new.

Do you make money from what I buy?

No. Aura takes no sponsorships and earns no commission on your purchases. Your subscription is the only revenue, which is exactly what keeps the rankings unbiased. Every link goes straight to the retailer's own product page.

What happens to my data?

Anything sensitive you share — a photo, your heritage, a health note, or lab values you type in — is processed in the moment to sharpen your matches, then discarded. We don't store your medical records, we don't run facial recognition, and we never use your data to identify you. You can request deletion anytime. (See our Privacy Policy.)
