Tried using green tea toner on a breakout and it got way worse before it got better

I had a client with really angry cystic acne and figured I'd test out a DIY green tea toner on myself first since I get the occasional flare up. Used it twice a day for 3 days and my face broke out in these tiny red bumps all over my cheeks. Turns out my skin hates fermented stuff. Learned the hard way that just cause it's natural doesn't mean it's gentle. Anyone else have a reaction to something you thought would be a miracle cure?

Bit dramatic, it's just a toner.

Classic overcorrection, happens with everything not just skincare.
