Here's a write up by Todd about Leather seats. This should put you in the right direction.

Some of them will still be there due to the nature of the material. But it will make a very good improvement to them and save money in replacing them down the road.

It's not going to repair any separation (cracks where the actual hide is visible) but it could help relax some of the wrinkles making some the cracks less noticeable.

The only true repair is going to be to have the seats re-dyed with a new coating, but the best you can realistically do now is going to be to prevent it from getting excessively worse.
