use clearasil cream apply over all the marks thickly and put the doll under an ordinary desk lamp, close enough that it doesnt get too hot leave it there for a few hours or overnight. then wash in warm water it does work i did it to my daughters baby born and it was absolutely cover in biro, it now looks new theres no ink left at all.

There is a way to remover ink from a dolls vinyl face/body and that is to used clearasil pimple cream. You apply this to the affected area and leave it sit in the sunlight, it may take a week or even months but it will work. That is if you have not used anything to harsh like bleach which will set the ink. Be sure not to overdo the lengh of time that the doll is exposed to the sun as the cream will leave bleach marks on the vinyl. I just do a little at a time like leave for a few days and wash off if it needs more then I will do it again and repeat the process until it has been removed.
