I've been off accutane for a year. i get a few spots or pimples here and there, once they're gone my face is flawless again. will it stay like this?

Hard to predict: Congrats...It sounds like you had great success with accutane. It is impossible to predict if you will stay this clear, but the odds are in your favor. Usually after completing a course of Accutane you can maintain terrific skin with topicals alone. See your dermatologist to make sure you are on the right creams.
