Jessical, are you on BCP or Met? I know I keep stressing those but being on either one of those would help from the inside to balance out the hormones and reduce that cystic acne on the "hormonal" areas of the face --- chin, under jawline. Why not try the zinc again? I personally have not used anything interally, only externally as far as "natural" remedies. I used to use a zinc colored cream to cover up my acne spots and it seemed to do a fairly good job. As far as saw palmetto you could give that a try, some women have success and others do not (it really is a mixed bag). Maybe start one and give it a few months, then if that doesn't work, try the other?
