It’s definitely more than 1 molecule thick. CG people call it sub-surface scattering.

Sub-Surface scattering is the whole reason flesh-toned plastic looks so fake.

Nah, sss is the phenomena they are trying to capture. When we comparing it to reality, i.e. the intended results, it looks fake because they haven’t figured how to model it such that it both looks good and renders in a reasonable amount of time. CG milk looks like crap for the same reason.
