Many like Leatherique. It's a process not just a product so Google is your friend.

I use Leather Honey but somewhat follow Leatherique's recommend process. The Leather Honey is thicker and more gooey so it must be cleaned off.

Iv’e been using Leatherique Prestine Clean every few months to keep our Mini’s leather looking new and soft. Soaks right in, no change in appearance and it has the ability to clean when applied with a microfiber applicator or towel.

While I'm also a proponent of Leatherique Rejuvinator and Prestine Clean, it should be noted that many auto manufacturers now use leather that has a coating applied to it which makes treating same virtually impossible and whatever you apply simply won't penetrate. If this occurs, don't blame the product...Blame the car manufacturer.

Another vote for Leatherique.... put a small heater in the car and you'll be happy with the results... let it soak in... take your time if you can and for the initial ... do it a few times back to back. IMO.

+1 on Leatherique.

I coated some old seats from the 90's and covered them with a thin drop cloth (like a dry cleaning bag) pressed against the leather to keep it from drying. Then I put the seats out in the sun help with absorption. I would have just parked the car in the sun with the windows up to let the interior get nice and hot, but it wasn't running at the time.
