This is a free, simple version that will smooth skin well enough for most portraits, IMO.
This is what I used in my recent post of the young Hawaiian Lady in the POP Gallery, if you want to see what it can do.

Thanks Sandy! I tried this, and as I noted in a comment on your portrait post, I like "how you can control the smoothness and details independently, and the way it works with smart filters in two different layers, so you can add masks for even more control.

This action is a form of the technique known as Frequency Separation. Popularized for model retouching. Works well, but can easily be pushed to far.
