Why did you make the thread pitch so fine (or whatever the technical term is) on the cap on your tube of facial moisturizer? It takes 379 complete revolutions to get the cap back on the tube, which is a tricky thing to do nine-fingered while balancing a big glob of moisturizer on the tip of your index finger.
I hate you every morning.

Send them an e-mail "Triple leade threading" look it up dudes"
WV "for glectra" think I should shout that while going into battle.
Weren't you just complaining about how you weren't getting any exercise?
Those are 379 REPS!
Feel the burn!
Uh...could you put the cap on after you moisturize?
How about cutting a slot in the cap and using a power screwdriver?
Maybe an empty .32 ACP or 9 MM Corto casing could serve as a push-on cap.
US Plastics is a manufacturer of flip top caps for bottles and tubes (and a bazillion other things). A small bottle with a flip top cap would cost you in the neighborhood of six bits, though the shipping is like six dollars. On the other hand, if you surf their website and don't find something else you can't do without- like a gamma seal lid for your range brass bucket- to help amortize the shipping cost, I'd be very surprised.
and if you dig about, you might find a flip top lid that will screw right on that tube, for about a quarter.

The more threads per inch the stronger the grip!
Turn that cap 20% harder.
They want to intensify your anticipation of using their fine product. It's that, or the contract for the packaging fell to a demented designer.
The Wife had that problem a few years back. She just changed Brands to one that used a Thumb-Push Lid.
Which for a little while, we can still do, until the Central Planning Committee "Deems" that we all need to go Screw Ourselves.
Next time you're at the Mountain of Geese wander over to the camping section. There'll be an aisle with all the little nick knacks like water proof patches and tent repair kits. Look for a bag from Nalgene that has a bunch of different little bottles in it along with a couple of lids with flip up spouts. One should work for your moisturizer. Bonus: One works well for holding a little bore solvent for dipping patches in.

Check in Target's sundries area. You should find a rack with sample and travel sizes of various body items. Somewhere in there should be empty containers for traveling purposes.
Forgot the "with flip-top lid".
Alternatively, why not use something you can pour a bit in, or on, to free up that fingertip?
My suspicion is that it helps make the seal more airtight, to prevent the product drying out.
(And it probably helps keep it from opening from being jostled, too; more surface area, more friction.)
1. Put the glob of moisturizer on your index finger.
2. Use the thumb and a couple other fingers of that hand to hold the cap steady.
3. Use the other hand to screw the tube into the cap.
