Morphology

cream + cleanser

The meaning 'a cleanser in the form of a creamy lotion' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'cream' (a topical, creamy preparation) with 'cleanser' (a substance used to clean), i.e. a cleanser that is cream-like. This modifier+head noun composition is a common, literal pattern across languages, so a B1 learner knowing both constituents would readily infer the intended product type.

Etymology

Cream cleanser is a simple name that comes from what it is: a thick cream that cleans the skin, so it is a cleanser. Because it is soft and lotion-like, it removes dirt and also helps 'moisturize' the skin, so the name tells you both its feel and its use.
