Description
I think I might be on to something with her skin surface settings. All the textures are the same, except for her sclera, which I changed because I thought the one Fynne had was too reddish. The irises are the same, only the sclera is different, I used one of Raiya's characters eye textures for the sclera.

So, I am going to list the skin surface settings I am using for Fynne here in Daz 4.10. This will be long. If you happen to buy Fynne or already own Fynne (which you should!!!) you can use these settings to achieve the same look I have in this render (well, maybe minus the sclera.) Go to the surface tab with Fynne selected, click on Genesis 3 and you'll see more open up. Select "skin" and these will apply to all the skin areas equally.

First of all, go ahead and apply the included Fynne 4.9 Iray materials before doing anything!
If a value is not listed, I did not change it. Only the ones listed are need to be altered.

Base Color: Click the color box and a new box will pop up like a color wheel. You can type in each value. The result is slightly gray, which makes her skin slightly darker.

Click OK.

Translucency Weight 0.35 This value is super important. Lowering it will make her more pale. At zero she becomes almost white! Increase it to give her more color. But too much will make her look like wax! Comical, yes, but not probably not what we want.

Tranlucency Color Another color box! All values should be 255, which is all white. This color effects the color you get when cranking Trans weight up. But even though it is white, she wont look whiter with high trans weight because of the other settings further below. Think of this value not as white, but as white light, which brings out the full color of what is being lit, which is the texture attached to this setting. Actually, that applies to pretty much all of these color boxes.

SSS Reflectance Tint: Another color box!

Val 243
Red 243

Blue 243

Glossy Layered Weight 0.60 (You can change this if you think she's too shiny or matte.)

You can scroll down to Thin Walled. It should be off already. Keep it off or all of these settings below will disappear, and she'll look white!

Transmitted Measurement Distance: This setting's name is so stupidly long it probably wont show up properly. But it is right below the Thin Walled box. Crank this sucker up to 10. If you feel really cool, you can go all the way to 11...

Transmitted Color: Yet another color box! But this one is very important. With the settings we have, this box will have a direct impact on her skin color, and how it has a sort tinted under tone to it. This is the effect that makes skin come "alive" in renders. Real skin has layers to it, and this is what SSS tries to mimic.

SSS Mode: should already be Mono, but if not make sure it is.

Scattering Measurement Distance: 0.50
SSS Amount: 5.00
SSS Direction: -0.60
I believe these last 3 are already at these values, but just to be sure.

I did change Fynne's lips some, but its not hard to make them red. And obviously you may want something different.
On a final note, I used NGS2 manually on Fynne's cornea. Just her cornea!

Ok, there you go. These settings are for Fynne in Daz 4.10. They are tailored to her. There may be other characters you could apply these to, I would guess ones that have a similar tone to Fynne. But it is important to look at what her actual skin textures are. Fynne's skin textures are fairly light colored. That is why Fynne was so effected by the changes between Daz 4.8 and 4.9 and 4.10, because her skin relies a lot on SSS tint for its color. Most characters don't rely this much on SSS for color.
