Portrait pro. This offers face sculpting as well as skin softening, and has options for changing eye/lip colours etc, probably the most popular of the bunch it does require you set a number of key point first (not difficult really) although it does take a minute or so and makes batch processing difficult or impossible.
Price around £50
Imagenomic Portraiture. This is much more basic and easier to use, it finds the skin tones fairly well without having to be told, but doesn't offer so many options as portrait pro but does the skin softening quite nicely. It will also work as a batch process if added as part of an action in photoshop.
Price around £100
Digital Anarchy Beauty box. Another fairly simply one, this again finds the skin areas by itself and offers much the same options as portraiture.
Price around £100
Photoshop. Photoshop doesn't have any built in option for skin softening but can be used by making a new layer, bluring that and then masking (or earsing) the bits like hair, eyes, lips, etc.
Price varies with version but starts around £50+
Perfect 365 by ArcSoft, another of the simpler ones to use, although mine keeps asking for the serial number everytime I try to save an image which is a pain in the arse.
For some comparrison here are some images done with those softwares, not I have had little time to play with some of them so with practice better results could be obtained with most.
