[Healeys] Age old leather question

I am getting my leather redyed and receiving a lot of push back from the
experienced upholsterer that is repairing straps and recovering a couple
of pieces. He says that all rejuvenator oil formulations are a waste of
time. To save time, I am also using an experienced dye guy and he also
doesn't want to apply dye over the rejuventator oil.
Does anyone understand the chemistry involved with the rejuvenator
stuff? Most of the websites are testimonials that it "works". It would
seem to me that leather is dead cells and some oil is actually damaging
the surface fibers resulting in more flexibility. The upholsterer and I
got somewhat the same effect by kneading the surfaces. What does oil
really do to the cells?

Thanks,
Ken
