Skin shader - the Superfly bit anyway, I haven't used Firefly now in years ;)

Thank you so much Caisson, for that reference. When I read your post, I wondered if I had at least one character with a normal map, and i found one and only one, for my vic4's collection: a package called "Sarah", sold by "AB", a vendor the name of which i haven't found here nor at daz. So if anyone knows it, I would be pleased.

When it comes to Vic4, i often see a glitch, between the upper limit of the upper lip, and the rest of the skin, as if the character, all of a sudden, inherited a slight mustache...

So I used Caisson's node settings, with Sarah's normal map and morphology, and Danea's excellent textures for the skin/bump. The only difference is the use of a second layer with a GlossyBSDF instead of the PrincipledBSDF's specular.

And here is the result. With my thanks to all of you giving valuable advices :-)

If you have a bump map INSTEAD of a normal map, plug your bump map into a Cycles Bump Map node (instead of the normal map one shown above). Like so:
