Using Retin-A 0.1% and Vitamin C Together?

I have been using Retin-A 0.1% for a while, and loving the results. I also really like using vitamin c and was wondering if I can use vitamin c on top of the retin-a at night, and if so, how long after applying the retin-a should I wait to apply the vitamin c? Thanks.

Mixing Retin-A and Vitamin C

I am not a fan of mixing these 2 products. I'd much rather you use the Retin-A product at night, and the Vitamin C product in the morning (with your moisturizer and/or sunscreen put overtop of this). Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.
