That stuff works well for me, makes it a lot more supple, and cleans it too.

By the way, my missus has been trying to make her "crows feet" dissapear for years.....nothing works..........LOL!! ;D ;D

I can endorse Gliptone stuff, as said, it makes the leather more supple which disguises the creases a bit. It also has a leathery niff which some may or may not like. If it gets on your fingers the smell tends to stay a bit. Good stuff tho.  :y
