1. Device (10) for packaging at least one product and dispensing at least said product (B) on a surface and comprising at least one container (14) delimiting a product cavity (24a) containing said at least one product and having a dispensing closure (26) designed to be separated from the container (14) for first use of said device in order to open a first dispensing orifice (24b) in flow communication with the product cavity (24a), characterized in that:
said device comprises an application member (40) mounted on the at least one container (14) having at least two rows (44b, 44d) of elastically deformable application teeth (44) arranged on both side of the dispensing closure (26) and extending outwardly from said at least one container (14), said application teeth (44) being each inclined towards the longitudinal axis (X-X′) of the first dispensing orifice (24b), and wherein during transport and before the first use, when the dispensing closure (26) is located between the teeth (44), at least a plurality of teeth of the said rows (44b, 44d) of teeth are stressed mechanically in a first stressed position in which the teeth (44) are in contact with the dispensing closure (26) and form a first angle (α1) with the longitudinal axis (X-X′), and configured to flex automatically elastically in a second rest position when the dispensing closure (26) is removed, in said second rest position, the teeth form a second angle (α2) with the longitudinal axis (X-X′), the second angle being bigger than the first angle are more inclined towards the longitudinal axis (X-X′) of the first dispensing orifice (24b) than in the first stressed position, and wherein in the second rest position, the free end of the teeth of the second and said rows (44b, 44d) of teeth are located in the flow path of the product to be dispensed.
