Removing Permanent Ink from Skin

An answer to the question advised using Mr. Clean Eraser. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS as the warning on the box specifically states. I used it (without checking the warning on the box) and my 5 year has a very bad abrasion as a result.

Editor's Note: As with any advice you find on the internet, please use caution with any substance that is not intended to be used on skin. Always read and follow the manufacturer's guidelines.

My wife just got printer ink on her hands, lots of it. She used Lysol Antibacterial Kitchen Cleaner, it worked almost instantly.

The following things do not work on skin (so don't bother with them): Rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol-based hand sanitizer, hairspray, toothpaste, Comet, Clearasil face wash, grape jelly (though bonus points for creativity), olive oil, Lysol wipes, Uni-Solv, Clinique face wash, or soap/water. Should I find a perfect solution, I will post again.

Use Clearasil Stayclear Oil-Free Daily Face Wash. My daughter and her friend used this after they painted their face with Mr. Sketch. We used soap, water, rubbing alcohol. Nothing worked but Clearsil worked.

My 2 year old has ink all over her. Her sister left out the black ink gel pen and our dog chewed it up and she attempted to bring it to me and in return got ink all over her.
