Question Great Leather Conditioner...Ture?

One of my friends said Olay is a great leather Conditioner. He said he uses it and the leather is really soft.

Hmm....I figure, if leather is also skin and Olay is used on human skin, why not. haha...but don't know it is strong enough..

Any inputs? heehee

Actually, I've always been partial to Estee Lauder Anti-Wrinkle cream. At $37 for two grams, it's expensive, but it really helps hide those pesky seat wrinkles. I also like to apply a little Lancome Blush to the headrest --just enough to give it a rosy glow and bring out the highlights in the stitching.

Just kidding, of course.

Seriously though, there are many fine products (from Lexol, Pinnacle, Zaino, etc.) expressly designed to clean and condition leather. Why even consider using something not created for that purpose? I've certainly never heard anyone knowledgeable about car care advocate putting face goop on auto upholstery.

Years ago I remember reading that Olay's wrinkle-reducing properties were due to the formaldehyde in the product. Perhaps they've changed their formula since then, but I still wouldn't even consider putting it on my upholstery.

Heretic;
I've never even considered bringing out the stitching highlights - Thanks for the tip! Since I'm using P21S Bodywork Conditioning Shampoo on the outside, I should probably spend as much attention on the inside.

Here's an alternate plan for leather conditioning;

Mother's Advanced Leather Care " Reflection Line"

I use Mohter's Advanced Leather Care "Reflection Line" and it help keeping that new car smell. I apply it every two weeks and it makes the leather a tad bit darker which I don't mind because my interior is Ebony. I evaluated every leather care product out there on my other care and none of them met my standards. When I bought my TL the dealer issued me Xzilon leather protector, I liked it but it was to much a pain in the ass to order so I went with Mother's and it is well worith it and a lot better than xzilon.
