Conditioner

Sounds like conditioner used after shampooing hair. "Amaciador" is also used for fabric conditioner/softener, but "creme" and reference to a bottle makes me think it's hair condition.

fabric softener/conditioner/creme rinse

"Fabric softener" if for clothes
"Conditioner" if for hair and is to be left on for any period of time (i.e. 1-15 minutes). This is generally used to improve the condition of the hair.
"Creme rinse" if for hair and is just put in and then rinsed out. Usually to remove tangles from hair.

The names "condtioner" and "creme rinse" are often used interchangeable.

moisterising cream

That's assuming it's a cosmetic for women! Otherwise it could be a multitude of creams eg. fabric softener (as suggested) etc
