Is there a magic cure to repair scuffed scratched leather sofas?

I've two brown leather sofas and although they haven't faded they do have lots of tiny scratches and scuff marks, there are also several tiny pin size holes (although I have no idea how that happened Confused)
Is there a product which will fill the holes and scratches and cover up the scuff marks?
I've looked on Amazon and eBay but I'd like personal recommendations too GrinThanks!

No idea about the holes, but I recently received a used tan leather sofa and armchair from a family member and they also gave me a tin of natural beeswax furniture polish from John Lewis, advised to apply this spareingly with a dry soft cloth and it restores the leather and keeps it nice, getting rid of surface scratches, marks etc.

Leave to dry then buff with a dry cloth. That’s what they used on it and it’s in lovely condition.

These guys, you can dye it or get the repair kit. Fab stuff.

Shoe polish like the one you buy in the little round tins?

Yes, rub it in, leave it for a little while then buff off.

Or I've even used shoe cream in a tube ( from Clarks )

Thanks Bam I'm prepared to give anything a go which might make a difference.

There is a mineral based paint called Frenchic that people say you can use on leather sofas, seems weird but I've seen pictures of it done on Facebook and looks as new.
