What is the best leather conditioner for seat repairs?

This is mainly for my escalade, im getting creases in the seats and its slowly getting damaged (flaking-ish) any type of conditioner/dye/filler that fixes these types of issues? Does anything like this exist?

I do not think anything will be a permanent fix, that said, both grand dads were shoemakers. My uncle told me they used Lexol back then. I found the product to be excellent and what it will do is hold the seat damage at bay and make it look great each time you detail it.

I use Lexol on all my leather seats... A treatment at least once a month.

Btw, I think a Cayenne Red interior would go better with the Lapis Blue exterior of my car, which currently is a kind of boring blue-gray. Does anyone has any experience to share with dying both leather and vinyl?
