I just bought some leather conditioner. It’s oil like, but won’t hurt the faux leather (supposedly)

This is the real answer. If a hinge is squeaky, oil it. Same for leather. Faux leather is probably closer to polyurethane or plastic, but it mimics leather enough that leather conditioner should help. However, I would caution that you want to find a "leather conditioner" that specifically says it's for your material. Whatever it is.
The problem is the surface is that type of smooth, high friction stuff that sticks to itself. If you condition the parts that touch each other, it'll make it glide better.
Sprinkle a very thin layer of cornstarch, just enough to make it stop but not so that it's noticeable.
try cleaning a small section with isopropyl alcohol (don't reuse Vaseline site)
using baby powder ? (made of talc - - not of real baby-penguins)
... or baking soda // bicarbonate ?

Sprinkle some crack on it
And plant a mix tape
Talc is carcinogenic
