Morphology

cleanser = clean (transparent) = clean + er

Formed by a familiar base verb 'clean' plus productive agent/nominal -er, so the meaning 'a thing that cleans' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Cleanser comes from the simple word clean and the ending -er. Clean means 'free from dirt' and -er makes it 'something that cleans', so a cleanser is a product used to remove dirt or oil from the skin or other surfaces.
