Intrinsic is something that is "natural" for something, like your genes. Things that are intrinsic do not usually change. This word is much rarer and used primarily in academic writing and the sciences. Example: The intrinsic value of the coffee is low, but the experience makes this cafe worthwhile. Inner simply means "deeper inside" of something. This would be more useful in describing feelings or thoughts, because they can change. This word is much more common in speaking and casual writing. Example: She didn't say anything, but from her face I knew her inner thoughts.
