Abstract

A device for dispensing and applying a product includes a container including a reservoir for containing a product, and a dispensing member for dispensing the product. The dispensing member includes an actuating element and at least one outlet. The actuating element is configured to be actuated to enable delivery of the product through the at least one outlet. The device further includes a cap configured to fit removably on the container. The cap comprises an applicator preferably including porous material. The applicator is substantially sealed from outside of the device when the cap is on the container. Placement of the cap on the container positions the applicator with respect to the at least one outlet so that at least a portion of the applicator is placed in contact with the product delivered through the at least one outlet when the actuating element is actuated. Preferably, the product at least partially impregnates the applicator when the product contacts the applicator.
