I like to wash my face with Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne wash, I've used it so long it isn't too drying on my skin. I also like Neutrogena's facial moisturizer with SPF - it doesn't clog my pores. Some nights I'll use Olay's Definity Pore Redefining Scrub - it does a great job and isn't too abrasive.
Wash with Clinique seven day scrub cream, followed by toner and Oil of Olay regenerist serum.
Evening wash with Clinique rinse away gel, followed by toner and Oil of Olay restructuring elixir.

I mainly use Clinique, both A.M. and P.M.
Liquid Facial Soap Mild
Clarifying Lotion 2
Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion
All About Eyes Rich Eye Cream
Youth Surge Day/Night Cream
Twice a week I exfoliate with 7 Day Scrub cream and in the evening I also use Peter Thomas Roth Lashes to Die For.
I use Arbonne RE9 Advanced skin care - cleanser, toning mist, serum, day cream, eye cream, and night cream. It's expensive, but I like the ingredients and, most of all, the results!
First thing I do is spritz on some rose water and let it dry....then I apply Strivectin ( it works!), then dark spot fader...right now it is by Clinique, then a serum, eye cream, moisturizer, make up primer and then the makeup....same at night but use a night eye cream and night cream instead of a moisturizer.....just can't seem to get rid of my dark circles but I try try try :) I always apply lip balm all throughout the day. Use a weekly mask and exfoiliate every other day. Used to get facials and treatments...but those days are gone :(
In the morning, I wash my face with Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser and then moisturize with Clean and Clear Finishes Pore Perfecting Moisturizer. At night, I do the same thing except remove my eye makeup with Maybelline New York Expert Eyes Oil Free (blue bottle) Eye Makeup Remover, also. I exfoliate 2 times a week (tues and fri) with Daily Mirra Exfoliator. And once a month,I coat my face in Petroleum Jelly:)
Thanks for the giveaway!
I rinse my face with water every morning, then follow with alcohol-free toner. At the end of the day, I cleanse, tone, and moisturize. Two or three times a week, I use an exfoliating scrub and rinse it in the shower--to make sure I get all of it off my face! 
Usually wash lightly with beauty bar soap or facewash - then use eye roller under eye (or a splash of witch hazel followed by eye cream) - then use wrinkle roller + daily moisturizer w/suncreen - petroleum jelly on eye lids.
PM - Wash as above - splash w/water - use heavier night moisturizer + wrinkle fill in - on eyes use roller or several times a week, a splash of witch hazel + heavy duty eye cream. Petroleum jelly on eye lids.
This routine may vary according to the state of my skin - cold weather and so on can cause dryness - & may even use heavier moisturizer with a layer of petroleum jelly on top to seal it in, if my skin is unusually dry.
I don't spend a lot of time on my skin, but I DO TRY to wash my face thoroughly twice a day. I like the store brand of the Cetaphil wash and I've started using BioOil as a moisturizer. The BioOil absorbs quickly and doesn't leave your face feeling greasy at all. I wear mineral makeup powder which contains a natural spf sunscreen, too.
When I'm tired at night and don't feel like taking my makeup off, I refer to the old "baby wipe" solution for a quick cleaning regime.

I start my day by cleansing my face - prefer organic skin care - such as Mychelle or Acure - and something formulated for combination skin, then use a toner or facial mist, then moisture and SPF - protection - I occasionally use eye creams or moisturizers - but honestly - not as often as I should. Then repeat the process, minus the SPF in the evening. I occasionally use evening moisturizer - again - not as often as I should. OH well, I do the best I can....and I'm working on getting better! <3 xo
