Abstract

A device for applying a liquid, paste or gel product to the skin, with a reservoir for the product, an abutment connected by at least one feed channel to the reservoir, and an applicator element that is provided with a plurality of passages for the product and whose outside surface forms an applicator surface. The applicator element is held flexibly and/or movably with respect to the abutment so that it can assume at least one working position in which it, together with the abutment, borders a space to accommodate a predetermined quantity of the product, and where the space is reduced in size under deformation of the applicator element and/or movement of the applicator element with respect to the abutment.
