The difference is that "inherent" is something existing and "intrinsic" is by its very nature:
Inherent: existing in someone or something as a permanent and inseparable element, quality, or attribute
[Existing in someone or something]
Intrinsic: belonging to a thing by its very nature.
[By its very nature]

Yes,Lan!They have a little bit difference...
-inherent means existing in something as an essential or permanent attribute (and it's often followed by "in")
Example:Mindtools are inherent in education nowaday.
-intrinsic means essential/true/exact...(Example:intrinsic value,intrinsic factors,...etc)

As I know, there are some unimportant distinctions)
e.g.:
1. The risks are inherent in investing in the stock market.
2. Some shortcomings were inherent in our approach.
Peculiar, integral, essential can be synonyms of inherent!
BUT!
"intrinsic" is also his close synonym!
e.g.:
intrinsic part of the plan.
