Default Leather creases

Is there leather car products that can fix leather creases? My leather is tan so leather creases are very noticeable. I've seen products that fix cracks but haven't seen easy fix solution for creases.

Leather creases are comparable to wrinkles in your skin....no lol
Leather creases are caused by the area of the hide where the part came from and also how it is used in the upholstery.
You can't 'fix' leather creases, but you can keep your leather well maintained to prevent the leather from hardening. As the leather ages, it shrinks and the creases might disappear, or if its near the seat bolster area, the leather will stretch, fold, and the color coat will crack, and you will have black lines running at the bottom of the crease...
If the creases are very bad, i know some people have had an upholsterer add some extra batting or foam to fill in the space and remove the creasing.

I'd say just leave as is..

I don't think the creases came from factory. I bought the car used and creases are where the area the driver would sit for prolong period. I don't think previous owner maintain the leather. I'm not too worry about the look but worry that the creases would turn to cracks as they almost look them.
