Morphology

milk + cleanser

The phrase is a straightforward noun–noun composition: 'milk' specifies the type/texture or ingredient and 'cleanser' denotes a product for cleaning the skin, so the combined meaning (a cleanser that is milk-like or contains milk) is directly derivable from the parts. This modifier + noun pattern is common and cross-linguistically familiar, so an average B1 learner who knows both words will understand the MWE.

Etymology

Milk cleanser is named after its soft, creamy feel that looks and acts like milk and is made to be a gentle cleanser for the face. So the name reminds you it 'removes makeup and impurities' gently.
