"The product itself is a good product. The packaging and dispensing of the product is not very good. The product gets into the cap area and drips down which requires cleaning as it leaks out between the cap and container. This is an expensive product and with leakage you are paying for product and losing it because of how it is packaged. I may not continue using it due this inconvenience and cost of loss of product."
