    It seems to be difficult to get PBR skin brightness like this:
    Isourcetexture's Anoushka skin material with low Translucency values and mono SSS mode look much more matching environment settings.

    Because a value of 0.85 for Translucency Weight is much too high.

    Reduce Translucency Weight for Skin and Nails surfaces to 0.50 and the skin will look more natural.

    I should have thought of that myself! Much better. Thank  you.

    Yes. Thank you. 
    In fact, sometimes you have to go down to 0.10, to get the correct brightness.
