John Austin's May 2020 johnaustin.io post adds subsurface scattering to Unity's Universal Render Pipeline for a soft Oculus Quest VR look under tight mobile fill-rate limits.
Instead of deferred light-buffer blur, he uses forward wrapped diffuse from a Journal of Graphics Tools paper, with Valve-style wrapping, normalization, and a custom HLSL LightingSubsurface pass.
