I've been riding for over 40 years and NEVER had issues in this department.... until I did. I tried EVERYTHING. Most creams seemed to just make it worse. Then I found this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0031VZ7ZI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Problem solved. It seems to work better the more you sweat.
They say to put it on the chamois too. I found that just putting it in the area of the hot spot on my skin was sufficient.

When you first apply it it'll feel a little sticky. Keep rubbing it around. I think body heat makes it soft and then it starts to glide on real nice.

I think body heat makes it soft and then it starts to glide on real nice.I used Cycle Glide on three rides, I think you're right about the temperature. I can get it on OK but while I'm riding in cold weather it feels more like an adhesive than a lubricant. It might be useful if they made different viscosity grades like motor oil. 🙂 Meanwhile I'll set it aside until warmer weather comes.
The Mad Alchemy Pure has been my long ride favorite. https://www.madalchemy.com/shop/pure-chamois-cream
Just got a tube of HoneyButt, seems to work well.
