The product quality is exactly what I expected, good. However, I ordered both #1&2 Cure the package arrived damaged and Cure was everywhere with no visible hole or crack in the container. I can only assume one of two has a seal failure due to poor shipping packaging. Box was destroyed but there was zero packing material to separate internal items.
