Pass the best moisturiser (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cold cream

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'moisturiser' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pass the best' is the wordplay.
'pass' becomes 'cold' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'the best' becomes 'cream' (as in 'the cream of the crop').
'cold'+'cream'='COLD-CREAM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cold cream that I've seen before include "agent aiming to hide wrinkles" , "Cleansing cosmetic" , "Ointment used for softening and cleansing the skin" , "Cosmetic preparation" , "Skin softener and cleanser" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
