I have been thinking about writing an article related to the stain removal process for Dollfie Dream for some time now. Staining is a problem that every Dollfie Dream collector have to confront at one point or another, it simply cannot be avoided in some cases since vinyl parts are extremely prone to staining; just by resting your Dollfie Dream on some fresh grass can result in grass stain! Some collector would opt to only allow their Dollfie Dream to wear light colored clothes, but I am different…. I like my girls to whatever I like them to be in.. in most cases, dark colored clothing! I am not afraid of staining!!! I just need to have an effective strategy to combat the stain!! Conventional treatment for vinyl stain is to use acne cream that contains up to 10% Benzoyl Peroxide, while it is somewhat effective but the treatment process can take up to a month or longer if the stain is deep within the vinyl. Today, I would like to talk about a product call Remove-Zit, a chemical that is designed to remove color stain from soft vinyl about 3X faster!
More under the break~
Remove-zit is a special formula vinyl stain remover developed by Twin Pines of Maine, Inc. , so the strength and effectively is at least 3 times stronger than 10% Benzoyl Peroxide acne cream (by personal experience). But let me first get the legal stuff out of the way~

OK, now the legal stuff is taken care of…. for starter, let me show you the original stained skin part~
As you can see, the stain is pretty deep, but of course I did it on purpose so I can show you the true strength of Remove-Zit. But if you must know where the stain comes from… it’s from the original Saber Maid dress.
and after applying a single layer of Remove-Zit, it looks like this…
After each application of Remove-Zit, I usually let it sit in open air for up to 48-72 hours. By this time, the layer of Remove-Zit would be mostly dried off and can be easily wiped off.
As stated above, this is the result after the first application of Remove Zit. You can tell the stain has lighten up a bit.
As stated above, this is the result after the 2nd application of Remove Zit; I just randomly pick 48 hours for this step.
As stated above, this is the result after the third application of Remove Zit. The stain has lighten up considerably.
As stated above, this is the result after the fourth application of Remove Zit. You can still tell there are some faint traces of stain but for the sake of this documentation, this is enough to prove that Remove Zit is an extremely powerful stain removal treatment process.
Note: Some DD comrades have reported that under some yet to be documented circumstances, there is a chance the vinyl surface may appear to “swell” after remove zit treatment. In the event that the vinyl surface does swell, there is no need to worry because the swelling will fade out over time.
Note: If you find it difficult to clean off the remove zit residue, you can use Clorox disinfecting wipes to wipe off the residue, I have personally found it to be quite effective.

Nice documentation
definitely stronger than Oxy10!
It’s definitely stronger~
Looks much better than plain 10% Benzoyl Peroxide cream!
Alas I’ve tried to order from Twin Pines Of Maine (weeks ago now) but it seems international customs might not be their thing as they’ve yet to acknowledge and ship my order.
Perhaps international customers need a proxy service for this US company much like we do for many Japanese stores?
It took them weeks to send out my order too, and I never did get any response from them either. Will have to wait and see.
Got my order from Twin Pines in the mail today! Quite glad they shipped and that it got here ok. Took them about a month.
That’s great! Now, do take note that it smells quite a bit. It’s rather hard to wash them off too, just need to be patience or if you have that formula 911 that is designed to wash off the remove-zit.
Well noted and bookmarked. Thanks for tips~
You’re welcomed~
Wow, that is some powerful stuff!
I might consider this later on in the future.
Glad I came across this.. I somehow managed to stain my DD while changing her outfit. Now she has some light but noticeable staining on her forearm and hand. Hopefully this stuff will do the trick, though I really hope I don’t have to wait an entire month for my order to ship
Mmmm nice article ,didnt knew about this product , but didnt you waited too long between each treatment ??, i removed similar stains with 5% Benzoyl Peroxide in 4 and a half days !!! , i removed each layer of Benzoyl like every 12 hours or so and it really made the process faster , and yeah they were some deep stains .
I am perfectly aware of what 5% cream can clean, and I can assure you I have taken over a month with daily application of 5% cream to clean similar stain. It takes up to 72 hours for Remove zit to completely dry, otherwise the full effect of the coat cannot be realized.
well i see your point but waiting 72 hours between layers seems too slow for me , even for heavy stains , like i said the cream i use works just fine and can be switched around very 12 hours or so with a decent effect considering thet its only at 5% , perhaps it was the brand of cream you used since i have noted many common 5% creams fare poorly compared to the brand i use Qualitest , which while its hard to find it does wonders , all other brands that are easy to find have fared poorly compared with this one , this product i used more than a cream its more like a mask that usually has to be applied to the face before going to sleep , however when you put in on the vinyl its acts like a sponge sucking out the color of the vinyl while creams only fade it away little by little ., in your photos i can see that the product you mentioned remains white after drying , while the product i told you will take the color of the stain after drying , anyway i’ll keep doing more “research” and may even try the product you mention here if i have any cash to spare but i doubt it ,
I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful article. My daughter got some staining on her arm and I remembered reading this article from you. I ordered the Remove-zit and while waiting for it I purchased some 10% zit cream to use. It only took a week for the Remove-zit to arrive but the cream I had purchased didn’t do too much. When I tried the Remove-zit I began to see the difference after the first process and was very impressed. I am happy to say her staining is completely gone after three applications and you can’t even tell there was any staining at all. Thank you again for your help and I look forward to more helpful articles from you.
