Remove ballpoint pen stain from white leather couch

On my new white leather couch I discovered ugly blue ballpoint stains. Have tried a lot, without success.

I did not want to take any risks with strong detergents. My neighbor gave me the following tip: Spray the place with hair spray, wait a moment and then gently rub with a damp microfiber cloth over it. Tried it and it worked, there is nothing to see. After that I applied some leather care.
