Also , the closer the object the better to see the difference.
It will hardly be noticable on a figure that is 2" high in the far dstance, but VERY noticable in a close up.

There are 3 ways to put SSS in a shader, and many settings to play with.

SSS works on ANY texture, (but micht require some changes in the nodes to fine tune.)

Check all the postings, discussions, screengrabs, at RDNA on SSS on humans, and/or other objects.
