Have you ever used it?

The "default" setting works just great on it. It's subtle, yet very effective (unlike the first pics that were posted in this thread...which looked to be using it on "max")
Yep, I've used it for years.

I don't rely on it to just "target" skin tones - since it affects other areas similiar in color to flesh. I open a duplicate frame of the image in Pshop and apply the filter f/x to one frame, then manually (and selectively) clone from one frame to the other. I combine it with selectively using unsharpen in small increments to re-enhance areas like the eyes and other key areas.

That's the overly-simplified version of my workflow above. There's much more to it, of course. I just don't wanna get too tedious and blabby.
