Kombucha Tea Essence irritation?

so I'm a milky skincare addict(thanks, dry skin) and finally got the famous Kombucha Essence. I expected it to be similar to the Cream Skin Refiner, but the feel on the skin is very different. after some digging, I found that it uses more esters and is higher in Triethylhexanoin rather than Glycerin, like the Laneige, so it makes the skin velvety. right after applying I felt it make my face slightly itchy and "stuffy" if that makes sense. I don't know whether it is due to this, or the high 78% concentration of Kombucha Tea + Green Tea, but I've gotten a pretty big cystic spot growing on my lower cheek area. I literally NEVER get those, and my skin has been known to not get along with certain natural ingredients like Green Tea before. has any of you picky ppl had this problem before? is this a "dotox" period from the tea complex? kinda sad because I know it's a quality product that everyone seems to love, but maybe it's just not for me. I'm thinking of discontinuing for the time being and giving it another go once the breakout heals just to make sure it's really the culprit, but I introduce only one new product at a time, so I have a bad feeling about this 😢 EDIT: it's definitely the Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate. now that I think back on it, I had a similar reaction to an SK-II essence a very long time ago, and I think the Missha one as well. I should've paid better attention to the ingredients in this product, but it's been so long since I had a bad reaction to skincare. if you're sensitive, please be careful with this ingredient and any yeast extracts as well as probiotics! and thank you to the community for finally helping me figure this out! you guys gave me comfort and made me realize I wasn't just imagining things 💕
