A dipstick-type applicator (10) for tooth whitener and skin care medication includes a housing (11) defining an internal chamber (25) sealed when an applicator (40) is received therein. A quantity of liquid medication is hermetically sealed within the chamber. The applicator consists of a gripping portion (41), a stem (43), and at the distal end of the stem, a tip (45) made of a flexible absorbent material having a flat angled distal surface (61) that is specifically designed to best coat the user's teeth with tooth whitener or the user's skin with skin care medication. A wiper (30) within the housing has a reduced diameter opening (33), through which the tip of the applicator must travel to remove the tip from the chamber filled with liquid medication. The relationship between the outer dimensions of the tip and the opening in the wiper is such that excess liquid medication is removed from the tip as it is removed from the chamber.
