why is there only one ss layer in the new surface shader...?

with only one layer its near impossible to do a green creature with red back ss...

diffuse ss + 1 deep layer isnt enough...

Can you show some renders of what you are trying to achieve versus what you are getting?

From the FAQ:

"It uses the high-quality empirical SSS profile, which preserves sharp geometric and bump detail without the need for three layers of varying depth, as the old skin shader did."

Here is what I get mixing a green Base Color with Red Subsurface.
