“Can’t change the sensitive situation? At least you can soothe your sensitive skin,” a description reads onYouTube.
Instead of being sad, Wayne decides to help others achieve the skin of their dreams — even if it is a “Lil Sensitive.”
His first mission comes as a football fan is introducing her boyfriend to her dad for the first time at their home.
As “Mike” reaches to shake the hand of his date’s dad, he somehow drops his wallet. Her father picks it up for him, but is disappointed to see what appears to be a condom imprint, making for an extremely awkward moment in front of the family.

“We’re all a Lil Sensitive,” the Young Money founder adds while smiling at the camera.
