Revitalise / renovate real brown leather sofa

Options
I have a real leather brown sofa. Its about 9 years old now but still firm and comfy.
However, the leather has faded quite badly in places (on the seat pads and and where my husband rests his head when reclined) to the point its almost yellow in places.
Is there anything I can do to renovate it? I would much rather do that than buy a new sofa! I've seen some products which claim to dye the leather but most of it is in the US and Australia. I need to ensure if it is dye that its safe and wont rub on clothes or our dogs! any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks x

    I got a great leather restorer from Amazon.
    Leather colour restorer from the scratch doctor about a tenner use a soft cloth to rub in the buff up and it worked a treat.
    Generally do once a year and it's got me another couple of years out of my sofa.

    I swear by a leather car seat cleaner and conditioner called gliptone. Been using it for years.
