Someone is going to ask for more info so it might as well be me. What are your goals, what's your workout program like, what's your diet like? And neither creatine or protein alone are going to "get" you muscles.

Creatine in and of itself will not build an ounce of muscle.

You must eat a balanced and nutrious diet with slowly increasing caloric intake. Neither of the 2 supplements will give you results if your nutrition sucks. Protein supplements provide easier methods of fulfilling your daily quota of protein intake ..as well as total calories....but unless the rest of your diet is up to par you wont see much results....you have no need for creatine at this time...

Bottom line you must eat more. Eat well. Eat Frequently. Eat balanced.

I just love the power of Marketing! As stated above neither product is going to grow muscle fast or at all. You need a workout routine and you need to eat plain and simple.
