Claim:
A device for packaging and applying a composition, the device comprising: a receptacle configured to contain the composition; an application element configured to apply the composition, the application element comprising a core and projecting elements that extend from the core, the application element defining an envelope surface including at least one cross-section that is at least one of off-center relative to the core and non-circular, the at least one cross-section being perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the envelope surface; at least one wiper member configured to wipe the application element; at least one adjustment member configured to act on the wiper member to modify an inside section of the wiper member, the adjustment member being movable in at least one of turning and translation relative to the wiper member; a first element including an axis and comprising at least one slot that does not extend entirely perpendicularly to the axis; and a second element engaged at least partially in the first element and configured to be capable of turning relative thereto about the axis and capable of moving axially within the first element, the second element including at least one lug engaged in the slot and visible from outside the device, the slot and the lug being configured in such a manner that displacement of the lug within the slot during relative turning of the first and second elements causes the two elements to be moved axially relative to each other, and the modification of the wiper member being a result of relative movement between the first element and the second element.
