My Prismacolors seem to sharpen fine. This is the sharpener I use for them:

I have the same problem I think. For me, it doesn't really flake off though, it kind of smears off. Also, it happens with some colors and not others — usually really pigmented ones. People say light layers help, but some colors seem impossible to me; Dahlia and Peacock Blue come to mind.
For a wax pencil, I personally prefer Derwent Coloursoft — the color stays where I put it, no matter how pigmented, and I'm not stuck with having to do light layers.
My favorite is Polychromos, which are oil-based. They're very high quality and not cheap, so after buying a lot of pencils, I went with the option to buy the 60 pack with a free sharpenert (works better than my hand crank one tbh) on Amazon, and got the individual colors I wanted from Dick Blick - the 60 pack comes with a booklet containing all of their colors, and there are swatches on the Dick Blick website, which made it easy.
Also, I just got the Arteza 60 pack gel pens which are around $20 and work really, really well. Gelly roll are considered top of the line, and although I have a set of their whites that I love and some colors, they're quite expensive, and the tip is very thick, so I prefer others for coloring most of the time.
Here are some things I always recommend to new colorists that will work with any brand —
Derwent burnishers, blenders, vinyl eraser and sharpener
Derwent electric eraser
Faber-Castel Eraser Pencils
[BTSKY cases] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BXZFNJI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6vaTAbHACFY0W) there are lots of other sizes/styles/materials, but I think the book style is the easiest way to organize pencils.
Forgot to mention too, as others have said a kneadable eraser works, but i haven't had much success with pulling highlights when the drawing is smaller in scale. Another thing I've found that works is an electric eraser. the one i bought was made by Staedtler, but if you sharpen it to a point on a sand paper block, it can pull highlights pretty good. Useful for hair too I've found.
