It doesn't matter how you use Retin-A in relation to minoxidil. Look at the middle statement in my signature file. Personally, if I were using them both, I'd use them at completely separate times of the day.

I'd separate them as much as possible. There was an article I read a few years ago that I think was written by Dr. Vera Price and Dr. Jerry Shapiro; they made the remarkable claim that minoxidil and Retin-A aren't chemically compatible when mixed in the same solution. They provided no reference to that claim, and I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere else; but who knows? Maybe it's true...
