Help! What's the best way to get pen ink off of skin?

We are getting ready to walk out the door and DS found a pen. It's up and down his right leg. Any suggestions besides a bath?

Maybe try a baby wipe or just stand him in the kitchen sink, rub some soap on there and rinse with the spray thing.

Baby wipes.

Rubbing alcohol, or alcohol swabs. It's what I use at work all the time!

This. Nail polish remover works well too....but I don't know if that is good to use on a toddlers skin.

Thanks! The wipes did the job.

Water and soap is enough for us. I didn't know it needed special treatment.

This exactly! E was coloring with a pen this weekend and the Costco wipes got it all off very easily.
