This is vachetta pigskin leather.
It is very absorbent.
To remove the sticker glue, my recommendation is as follows:
Step 1:
Apply d’Oil4.4™ with cotton swab and let it dwell 30 minutes.
Step 2:
Remove dissolved glue - use anilineEraser4™.
Step 3:
Remove sticky residue - use clean3.8™.
Step 4:
Acidify rinse - use rinse3.0™.
Step 5:
Soften and strengthen leather - use fatliquor5.0™.
Step 6:
Non-stick buttery feel condition it - use leatherScent’B™.
Let us know the result!

I would not be too happy with the result.
First, it is not a complete removal as remnants could still be seen.
Second, skin damages caused by too aggressive agitation.
Recommended Technique:
Steps 1, 2, 3 & 4 have to be repeated with enough soaking the stain through the pigskin.
The stress is on the “chemical” to penetrate, lubricate and suspense the glue with simultaneous keeping the pigskin soak.
The “mechanical” is to facilitate the “chemical” to remove the glue without hurting the pigskin.
A smooth edge leatherTool6™ would be useful in this situation too.
I would suggest make out a sample to practice before attempting the actual work in future.

I found some problems yesterday.
1. The plastic mark could be removed by spraying clean3.8™ on the leather and applying anilineEraser4™ .
However, the surface of the leather became rough due to that the leather was so damp that I had to brush harder,
2. The photo shows the condition of the cleaning by sharp things after a little drying.

Looks better!
Tips:
#1. To reduce color tone difference - damp out the entire panel with rinse3.0™.
#2. To increase color tone evenly - apply fatliquor5.0™ evenly while leather is still damp.
(Leather when wet and dry again will be stiffer than before, unless fatliquor5.0™ is replenished to enhance the leather with softness and strength).
